Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths

Terrible attempt at humor and illogical puzzles.

Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths, developed by Nayma Software and published by Nightdive Studios, is a whimsical point-and-click adventure that transports players to a quirky, Halloween-themed mystery. Originally released in 1999 and later adapted for modern platforms, the game captures the charm of classic adventure titles while offering a unique sense of humor and a visually distinctive style. Players take on the role of Tony Tough, a somewhat bumbling private investigator with a flair for conspiracy theories, as he navigates a bizarre town filled with eccentric characters and unusual mysteries. The game balances lighthearted comedy with clever puzzle-solving, making it an engaging experience for both nostalgic fans and newcomers to the genre. The narrative centers on Tony Tough’s quest to rescue his beloved pet, Pantagruel, a purple tapir he insists is a dog. The adventure unfolds on Halloween night, setting the stage for encounters with colorful townsfolk, mischievous children, and an underlying alien plot that gradually comes to light. The story is delivered through witty dialogue and humorous interactions reminiscent of classic LucasArts games, with absurd situation…

On a scale from 1 to 5 I would give zero to one point. 1. In German version game crashes about half way through. No way to finish game !!! 2. I have asked for a refund but nothing happened 3. Text is almost unreadable because it blends into background 4. Thousands of lines of boring text but no actual gameplay like find and combine objects as i would have expected from an adventure game one of the biggest mistakes buying this game on steam would not even recommend it for 99c on sale such a disappointment :( :( :*

This is a really fantastic point and click adventure game! However, it can be HARD and I found myself getting stuck quite frequently (mainly because I accidentally missed a hotspot or an area that can be explored). Despite that, I managed to get through this game with no walkthrough, hence why I've spent 73 hours total on this game apparently! It's a fun one, puzzles are difficult and some puzzles are quite "out there" but I loved it! A lot of the more modern point and click adventure games are built to be a lot easier so it was nice to finally have a really difficult point and click adventure game to play! Loved the humour and the graphics. There are A LOT of different places to explore, the world felt really large to me which is another reason why I loved the game. Would definitely recommend :)

I'm sorry, it seemed fine at first, I just couldn't play it for very long after I got out the first building. The game quickly goes downhill; the dialogue becomes grating and annoying, and strangely mean-spirited in a way that's *not* like how Sam & Max games are. Each character became a pain to talk to, and you very quickly loose motivation to keep going with the story after that.

good
