Good luck figuring out the utter randomness of these awkwardly devised puzzles. Trying every item you carry on every item you can interact with, or attempting to combine your items first leads to countless possible combinations, yet only one solution to each puzzle. Interacting with the items you procure gives more specific animations for example, using the do not disturb sign as a lock pick (yes that is another action you have to obscurely figure out) leads to a bespoke animation of Willy jamming it in and jimmying the door open. There is a nice quality to the animation overall, though 50% of the motions are generic and repeated to fit the situation and the character never actually touches the items you click for him to pick up he just does action and the item is added to your inventory. There are over 50 locations set in a 2D point-and-click style akin to The Secret of Monkey Island, and some are definitely more interesting than others, but it's all a little bit underwhelming and bland. Perhaps each individual component was accounted for-each step to get it thought up, and each tool required to complete each step devised in an elaborate flow-chart on a whiteboard somewhere, but why make it so damned boring? For example, I need handlebars, but they're holding the fridge shelf up inside, so you need to find a screwdriver to fix the shelf otherwise the contents of the single fridge shelf would be left in minor disarray: OMG who cares!? Just take it, solve the DECADE old riddle of your flesh and blood's disappearance and organise your damned 90's-rendered fridge interior later! I don't want to ruin what there is by way of things to figure out, but the thought process behind it is overly complicated to achieve something so simple. You start off at home, needing money and transport, which is fair enough, but when you have to find countless parts for a bicycle that's been inexplicably dismantled and hidden within the very fabric of your house, it instantly becomes a chore more than a puzzle. That's a tried and true combination, but do they make it work?ġ0 years after your father passed, you, Willy Morgan go adventuring to figure out what happened to your father Henry Morgan. It's actually a completely safe-for-work retro-inspired point-and-click adventure game that takes more than a few cues from the CD-ROM DOS games on PC of the early '90s with pre-rendered environments, FMV cutscenes, and a basic UI and aesthetic.
BONETOWN PC GAME COVER ART FULL
After Willy receives a strange letter containing a cryptic message he heads on a perilous adventure to Bone Town, an unconventional place full of pirates and shady characters, to once and for all uncover the truth behind what happened to his father.Willy Morgan and The Curse of Bone Town sounds like an innuendo-laden adventure, but the mere PEGI 7 rating says otherwise.
Old school fans of the genre can appreciate easter eggs that reference iconic titles they grew up with during the good old days of gaming.ġ0 years have passed since the mysterious disappearance of Willy’s father, the famous archaeologist Henry Morgan. As Willy uncovers details regarding his father’s mysterious disappearance, fans of all ages are able to enjoy hilarious dialogue, whimsical characters and charming cartoon graphics. Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town offers a modern take on point-and-click adventure games by having players collect clues and solve puzzles in a computerized 3D pirate themed world. You’ve got Willy and Bone in the title of your game, what are you playing at VLG Publishing? Here’s some official blurb which has no innuendo in it all, and neither has the game. Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town is described as a “a modern take on side-scrolling adventure game classics such as Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island”, a point and click adventure but with “contemporary mechanics”, which could mean it has modern game design or maybe it features people who fix cars using computer diagnostics, it’s unclear to me at this point.
