Gibbous A cthulhu adventure Episode 5
4Created by a handful of folks from Transylvania calling themselves Stuck in Attic, Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure has been hotly anticipated ever since it was successfully funded on Kickstarter back in 2016. Inspired by the works of weird fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft and the LucasArts genre classics, Gibbous promised beautiful artwork, an otherworldly storyline, ample dialogue and laughter aplenty. Fast forward just over three years and the game is hitting digital shelves having met all of those objectives, though to various degrees of success. There’s no doubt that this admirable point-and-click debut effort has been made with love: it’s visually superb, begins intriguingly, provides some humorous moments and has a number of clever puzzles. Unfortunately, it’s undermined by dodgy writing and seems more interested in fantastical ideas than a comprehensible plot, creating an uneven experience overall.
