Loose “Maniac Mansion” sequel. It features the same kind of humor but in a whole different atmosphere, somehow closer to a vintage cartoon than a video game. The gameplay dynamics are essentially the same, with the exception that one character is in the past, one in the present, and one in the future. Our actions can change little details in the other timelines and therefore make new items and puzzles available. Absurd puzzles are a trademark of LucasArt graphic adventures, but it felt like they went a little too far with this one. You will need to try all items on anything to find your way through the game, and the multiple timelines are making the operation even more complex, as items can also travel back and forth in time.
