Too short to fully enjoy, but I liked the world.

My first Pendulo's game - it is a bizzare and quirky ride, worth checking out

As with all the others done by the same company it's a fun adventure title with a lot of laughs. However the flower puzzle near the end can die in a coal fire for all I care, argh.

It seems to be based on the same UI as the last Runaway game, meaning you get a button to ask for help and a button to see all the hotspots just in case you believe you are missing something, but not sure what. not to mention, the help was far better too.

Love the ending and it's quite a interesting political story to it too. Can't wait to try out their other game, Yesterday.

Edit: The female character (who I forget, editing this review several years after actually playing it) has stuck with me in regards to giving me one of my favourite words, "disconcerting" which was often what others said around where when she'd say strange crap that often confuses/disturbs those that she is talking to. Even herself when travelling through her mind in that one part, but really, that's about most I remember tbh.

La mal llamada secuela de Hollywood monsters, que poco tiene que ver con esta...
Podíamos llamarla como "la reinterpretación de la historia"
Los diálogos, en mi opinión, son mucho más pobres y con un humor forzado.
Los puzles y enigmas, se resuelven enseguida, no tienen mucho misterio ni complejidad.
En conjunto, no es una mala aventura gráfica, está entretenida y graciosa, pero no es ni por asomo de lo mejor de Pendulo.
