Dev Mailbag Review #1 - 2021

I haven't played a point-and-click adventure game since I was a child, so being sent this title by the publisher was a real treat. You play as Lone McLonegan, the titular character trying to reclaim his place as the most notorious bad guy of the west. It's your standard point-and-click faire, having you interact with various objects and characters in search for key items in order to progress. What makes this game stand out, is its fantastic sense of humor. The gags remind me of the kind you'd see in a show like "Futurama", where the jokes catch you off guard with unusual "out of left field" punchlines, either through visual bits or dialogue driven ones. It breaks the 4th wall, and often parodies its point-and-click ancestors. I enjoyed visiting each area in order to see what silly antics would be up next. Fun characters, great setting, and offers a good challenge. Just good, cheesy fun!
