A snobby video game reviewer gets trapped in a buggy and poorly drawn point and click game and learns that if he wants to leave he's left with only two choices: to beat the game or to cheat it in escape the game by Muja.

I enjoyed this, takes some time to get into it, but nice one!
ReplyDeleteNice game, but lengthy to get up to speed. And I think I need to restart the game because of a bug.
ReplyDeletespoiler bug:
I've used the vial already on yawn and gave it to the wizard. Now I connot collect tears anymore.
Sort of a Mad Magazine style of humor.
ReplyDeletecontinuation of Anonymous 00:23's spoiler bug:
ReplyDeleteyou can't collect tears once you use the vial on yawn, even if you don't give it to the wizard :(
Any way to kill the sound on this game?
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the humour so far...
ReplyDelete@Iguanaman: i think you can do so in the settings (gear on the top left corner), no?
ReplyDeleteBart - that is one choice, two options.

ReplyDeleteAfterall, it seems debatable whether the previous mentioned bug is a bug or just a part of the storyline...
Have now played the game a few times and I do like it, but the lengthy conversations keep me from going another time. Also, the medals cannot be seen as it's hosted from the bonte domain and not newsgrounds. A pity for this kind of game imho.
Having said that: excellent game!! Thanks for sharing it here :-)
there's actually three options/endings: to beat the game, to cheat the game or to escape the game.
ReplyDeletealso, about the vial: talk to the green goblin at the first castle scene... maybe you can do something with the vial then.
There's a way to legit beat the game? (Spoiler Alert)
ReplyDeleteAfter my sword didn't work on the bug, and then the gnome told me I actually couldn't gather all the ingredients, I assumed it was impossible.
you need something to "debug" the bug. something given to you by someone? ;)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the "good old times"...Sam & Max...Monkey Island...SWEP5...
ReplyDeleteThis one took too long to get started for my tastes, and the "trapped in a game" gimmick felt a bit overplayed.
ReplyDeleteHuh. Ending 1: Such a plot twist. (Thanks for the hint Anon. @ 02:22)
ReplyDeleteOn Anonymous 00:23 's bug:
ReplyDeleteIs there a way you could possibly duplicate your vile? ;)
You can finish the wizard's potion... more or less. You can definitely get the yawn and tears no problem, anyway. Great game!
ReplyDeleteI still don't know how to get the tears, but otherwise it's a cool game, I like the nostalgic feeling and the effort put into it. It's not that bad as the main character states it :D Awesome!
ReplyDeleteinteresting idea - but for me it's too much talk - I prefer games I can speed up a little - the introduction seems endless - maybe I would give it another try when the conversations were much shorter
ReplyDeleteThis game is absolutely great, the concept and storyline is so creative--once you see ending 1. I wish there were a way to skip to the end after you finish the game once, no matter which ending you get, so you can try all endings quickly. And I agree, the conversations are a bit long so there is quite a bit of reading, but I truly enjoyed the game and the overall plot twist. I'd give it 4.9999999999999 stars
