Wow, another fucking GOG game where the default DOSbox settings are borked. Pro tip, set the CPU cycles to around 14000 (this can be cycled via CTRL+F11 or CTRL+F12) to salvage the frame rate. Thank me later lol
This is the type of CD you would have found in a cereal box 20 years ago. This game is the westaboo equivalent of that chibi Rondo of Blood minigame Peke (PEKE of the franchise) which plays instead of the main game if the player boots Rondo up the wrong way. This game is the type of thing that would never get made nowadays.
Just a cute little promotional game for Alone in the Dark 2; nothing more, nothing less. The puzzles are very easy to figure out, minus the mirror thing which took me a minute. The dime goes in the candy machine, the jack in the box bites on everything so it gets the candy cane, etc.
There are only 2 music tracks in the game and they're both pretty charming I suppose. I do wish there was a cheesy narration at the beginning though, so the lack of one is what docks points down for me.
Graphics are more of the same deal as with the other 3 DOS games, but shoutout to the ending screen for being something that I would probably have set my wallpaper to back in 1993 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1156847687476457492/1163726632910077982/image.png
I want to say something more about this game but IDK, it kinda just exists. There's nothing particularly great about this game, but it's so short it's hard not to find it charming, clocking in at around maybe 10-15 minutes long max. I just appreciate that in a world where lame as fuck cinematic trailers and $200 ultra deluxe pre-order bonus editions are the norm for hyping games up nowadays, something so pure exists where the creators were just fucking around with extra development time. Kino sauce that doubles as both a Christmas and Halloween game.
