Now I’ve played a bit more I’m starting to see the artistic direction and the passion of the creators, and I’m actually getting into it. Some of the humour and characters still feel a bit forced, but there’s a lot to like. I’m not sure I’d put it on par with Day of the Tentacle, but it’s pretty good.
I still can’t believe the cast. Christopher Lloyd, Dan Castellaneta AND Tim Curry? Not to mention half a dozen seasoned voice actors you’ve heard a million times but don’t know the name of. That could have been the cast for the biggest kids film of the year! But it’s a videogame? For DOS??? That is legit bonkers.
But I would like to expand on firefyte’s point about requiring a native grasp of English by saying it’s not accessible to colourblind people either.
I have red/green colour blindness (one of those poorly named conditions, because it affects other colours as well), and the telephone “puzzle” was practically impossible. I had to look up a guide AND ask my partner for help for puzzles which I feel would have been trivial for other people.
