Short and sweet graphic adventure game. The story is the highlight of the experience for me, I love how weird it gets.
Also, the self-contained puzzles are good. I prefer it to nonsensical puzzles like so many adventure games seem to have, especially older ones.

A Layton-esque puzzle game with great writing, a lot of style and... mediocre puzzles. It's unfortunate really, the presentation is very very strong. The game's art has a really unique look to it, and there's a ton of great cutscenes and such that nail a vibe somewhere between Twin Peaks and Fargo. It's super well done and very funny too! The problem is the puzzles aren't fun to solve either being too basic or too fiddly. It's unfortunate, but playing the game is a lot less fun than watching.

those gnomes are up to something

fun for what was there, but way shorter than i was expecting

Pretty great, although quite short


This is a single-play adventure, once you've solved the case, you've seen all there is to see.

É uma cópia até que competente de Professor Layton, mas a história é bem mais mortinha.

The first 3 hours of the game kept getting better and better, with some more interesting puzzles and building mystery, then suddenly it wrapped up with some extremely easy "final boss" style puzzles and none of the story getting resolved. Hmm. I really like the art style and characters so I hope the second one does a better job.

Twin Peaks by way of Professor Layton, making it unironically cool.
I swear to god though that I had at least 2 puzzles where my solution was right according to the rules, but it still didn't accept it

Some real fond memories for this one. Great illustrations and atmosphere.

A nice new IP from telltale. It is a professor Layton clone but it's not as good as the source. It also ends when the story begins to be interesting. But the art style and humor are good. I wonder if they will make more.

markedly unfunny for a coen bros newgrounds mashup

It's cool that Graham Annable got a video game, but his distinctive artwork is all that I can remember from either of the two basic puzzle games.
