Lord Winklebottom Investigates - Full Playthrough (No Commentary)
9A full playthrough of Lord Winklebottom Investigates, a point-and-click adventure game where we play as a dapper giraffe gentleman detective and their hippo companion Dr. Frumple and they travel to meet an old acquaintance of Lord Winklebottom who came down with a mild case of murder. Now, instead of asking the maid for spare keys or common household items, we must pilfer everything that isn't nailed down (but only if we feel like it) in Admiral Gilfrey's house for convoluted puzzles to copy keys and perform an autopsy.
Overall, it's a very enjoyable point-and-click adventure game and I'd recommend it. There's a lot of good humor in it plus some lovely art and music.
The only frustration from my part in my initial playthrough was finding what you had to do beforehand to get Winklebottom to pick up an object that you knew you needed. In some cases, I didn't know I needed an item because Winklebottom just comments on it and wouldn't pick it up despite being a simple item (curse you, glass vase!) and ended up with me getting stuck. Frumple's hints are fortune teller vagueness rather than a hint of how to solve the current puzzle, such as the crystal ball segment where you know you're going to need the gramophone trumpet but it's not the solution until Act 2 (Dr. Frumple will just say you need to talk to Madame Lavinia instead of what you should do). Not the most difficult of puzzles but if you get on the wrong track like I did initially you can waste a good deal of time wondering what you missed and the hint system won't help you at all.
