Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold - Episode 1

Episode one out of one(!) of a basic and average point&click adventure game.

[b]Fester Mudd: Curse of the Gold - Episode 1[/b] is a great tribute to classic Adventure games from when these type of games were quite difficult requiring a lot of "out of the box" thinking. The humour is mostly silly but genuinely made me laugh a few times. Sadly Episode 2 was never released.

thank you to the person who gifted this game! O(∩_∩)O definitely saddened by the news of never getting episode 2 and 3 for this trilogy ): but i do recommend to pick it up on sale as it's fairly short, has subtle crude humour that isn't as painstakingly obvious as leisure suit larry, owns that old-school pixel art with the gameplay mechanics similar to maniac mansion and for those who love to immerse themselves in classic western movies similar to Mackenna's Gold or intrigued in legendary The Lost Adams Diggings💰

Pros - Charming art-style, really nostalgic - Mostly playable with just the mouse, you do need to press ESC to save and exit the game. - Fun dialog and lots of quirky characters. - Fantastic puzzle design, really can't praise it highly enough, its all extremely logical and makes for a really satisfying experience. Don't think I've played a game before that pretty much the first thing I try is the correct solution. Also the verb table can be problematic in some games due to the amount of choices it generates but the implementation here is spot on. At no time was I stuck because I was using the wrong verb. Very intuitive. Cons - Very short and ends on a cliffhanger only part one of a planned trilogy that will never see the light of day. Overall its a really polished and enjoyable point and click. Very disappointing we will not get to see the conclusion of the story.
