Excuse you, OP. It makes perfect sense that you need to paint a fence so that when a cat squeezes underneath it the wet paint puts stripes on its back, thereby making it look like a skunk. How the gently caress else are you meant to obtain a skunk?

let me tell you bout a little game called The Dig :shepface:

I'm actually almost all the way through The Dig. I'm not super-great at these adventure games, but I haven't needed a hint yet and am confused by people who say "the puzzles are hard." Sure, the skeleton was kind of abstract, but there was a fossil of the answer right next to it, and the legs can only go in so many positions and still look ssymmetrical. Took me about ten minutes.
Come to think of it, I didn't need any hints for DotT, either. MAybe those 30 years of being a shut-in game goon really were good for me.

King's Quest I (the original), however. loving shoot me.

I figured out The Cat Mustache from Gabriel Knight 3 on my own, OP. If I can do that, you can beat this.

I didn't know I was making progress on the disguise, though. I thought I was just being an rear end in a top hat to the cat. Gabriel's an ex-werewolf, it makes sense to hate cats.

Kids today wouldn't appreciate a jigsaw puzzle, they'd rather cry about it being too hard and then go look at pictures of puzzles completed by others on Instagram, like playing video games on easy mode for the 'story'.

I started playing The Dig and felt it was perfectly playable without hints. I stopped for other reasons. DOTT is just unplayable without a guide. How the gently caress do I know that to start a fire, I need Washington to look cold. To do that, I have to send a pair of chattering teeth back in time, give him an exploding cigar and then switch out his teeth. I didn't even explain the whole process BTW.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the painted look of the first 2 Monkey Island remasterings, but at least they looked like someone hadn't just traced over everything with a photoshop filter.

And for eleven quid? No loving chance.

Dagger of Amon Ra was one of the best point and click games ever made. Awesome puzzles (that made sense) tones of locations, dozens of characters to interact with, and one of the best period piece games (1927) that really set the mood.



Only real stumbling block is having to look at a specific dagger in a display case that contains about 10 before the game will progress. Other than that all the puzzles and challenges actually make sense without being obvious or needlessly complex/obscure.

hugos house of horrors owned

jungle one was alright but you couldn't die but you could get the game stuck in a position where you cant ever escape from. like literally the first screen if you dont take the stuff from the plane and cross the bridge that crashes you cant get the needed items.
