About The Wardrobe - Even Better Edition
✦ AI summary
Play as Skinny, a wisecracking skeleton forced to reveal himself to his best friend Ronald five years after a tragic plum-induced death, and solve clever puzzles across hand-illustrated locations to save Ronald's soul from damnation. This love letter to '90s point-and-click adventures like Monkey Island delivers dark humor, witty dialogue with multiple choice answers, and brain-teasing puzzles across a richly detailed world populated by dozens of quirky characters.
It all happened five years ago, during a picnic arranged by Ronald and his best friend Skinny.
Things were going well, until Ronald pulled out two very tiny plums from his basket, one for Skinny and one for him. Not knowing about his deadly allergy to plums, Skinny didn’t think twice about eating it, and immediately went into anaphylactic shock which caused his sudden death. Ronald ran off, terrified.
When he woke up, Skinny discovered that he had become a skeleton and been sentenced to live in Ronald’s bedroom wardrobe forever. Since then, Skinny has watched over Ronald constantly, without his knowledge… but now things are going to change! To save his best friend’s soul from eternal damnation, Skinny will be forced to reveal himself and make Ronald admit his 'crime'. Not a simple challenge at all!
A visually-rich 2D point & click adventure game which pays tribute to the pop culture through a myriad of references.
Inspired by the great ‘90s classics such as 'Monkey Island', 'Day of the Tentacle', 'Tony Tough' and 'Sam & Max: Hit the Road', the game has a strong sense of humour, but isn't shy about dealing with mature and non-politically correct themes.
More than 40 hand-illustrated and digitally colored locations, populated with more than 70 characters and enriched by dozens of puzzles.
Four types of actions for each hotspot (Look, Pick up, Use, and Talk) and dialogues with multiple choices (and full of funny answers to try)!
Play as Skinny, a teen-skeleton with an impertinent attitude and a sparkling wit, willing to do anything to save his best friend’s soul from eternal damnation!
Dozens of clever puzzles and many inventory objects to collect!

boh, questo gioco sembra tanto una scusa per fare citazioni pop simpatiche, La storia e i personaggi sono completamente piatti e non ti ci affezioni minimamente, gli enigmi sono o troppo facili o completamente senza senso e non risolvibili senza guida. un grosso meh1 found this helpful
I speedran the game and got every achievement in 2 hours. It's probably one of the top 3 indie point and click games ever made behind Fran Bow and Sally Face. If I could change one thing I'd probably remove like 40% of the pop culture references since there's at least 15 in every single room and It kinda gets distracting, but I guess that's why this game got popular in the first place so I don't mind that much.
This game is awesome , but the cutscene were buggy asf
Che gran gioco, visto su youtube nel 2017, giocato nel 2026, che esperienza.
Overall a very good game but a lot of the puzzles are nonsensical requiring you to try every combination in case something worked
The Wardrobe - Even Better Edition, developed by CINIC Games and published by Gamera Interactive, is a modern revival of classic point-and-click adventure design that fully embraces the eccentricity, humor, and puzzle philosophy of its inspirations. It doesn’t attempt to modernize the genre in a significant way; instead, it doubles down on its roots, delivering a dense, reference-heavy experience that feels like it could have come straight out of the 90s—just with a more contemporary layer of polish. The story follows Skinny, a teenage boy who meets a bizarre and tragic end after eating a plum he was allergic to, only to return years later as a skeletal figure tied to his best friend Ronald. His goal is to save Ronald from eternal consequences by pushing him toward a long-overdue confession. This unusual premise sets the tone for everything that follows, blending dark humor with absurd situations and emotional undertones. The narrative unfolds in a nonlinear fashion, often branching into side conversations and comedic detours that expand the world and its characters without always directly advancing the main plot. Gameplay adheres closely to traditional point-and-click mechanics.…
