Thank you, flotsam And Jenny100 I just LOVE this game I haven't reached the end yet though because I had to take a massive break from it when "life" intervened and so I got rather behind. Despite many releases being advertised as "like the Monkey Island games" none have ever turned out to be anywhere near as good as those in that fabulous series. But of course, THIS one definitely HAS - because it bears Ron Gilbert's exclusive magic touch !!!!

Thanks, Jenny! It sounds like an amusing and fun bit of nostalgia. I would buy this one just on the basis of your review, and I don't do that lightly. Our reviewer flotsam reviewed the game. Ana

After 12 years, I'm still not allowed to have a toilet paper holder on the wall - over or under! She will shred it either way - the only thing under did was keep it from being all the floor in a huge pile. Instead it was shredded right on the holder - you wouldn't believe how huge a shredded roll of toilet paper can get. I had nice little cabinets where the toilet paper is kept out of her reach. This included paper towels - heaven forbid I should leave one of those within her reach!
Once again, weeds are my life!

We had a bathroom full of toilet paper the first time, but she lost interest quickly when we turned the paper over -- a little shredding of surface layers, then nothing.

I hadn't factored in the cat impact. I am a dog person, so perhaps that's the correlation
Quantity has a quality all of its own

Thanks flotsam and Jenny. This is a very enjoyable game, and though it's not as high on my personal list as Blackwell Epiphany and Technobabylon, it is way up there as far as retro adventure games go. I'll probably even add it to my list as a new entry this year. While I didn't like the ending (I had a very similar "problem" with The Whispered World), the game itself is fantastic. There is so much intricacy in the world, and I found all of the characters highly entertaining and likable (including the clown ). They have even updated the game now, so the playable characters can talk to one another. Oh, and I am definitely a "toilet paper over" person. I have two cats that will definitely unroll it if given the opportunity, but I just keep the bathroom door closed, and that takes care of that issue.
