Brawson, the australian developer team behind Jolly Rover, declared “Best Australian Game” at the Freeplay Awards, announced their new game, MacGuffin’s Curse , a hilarious new puzzle adventure for PC, Mac, iPhone and iPad that will be available for download from Steam on April 12th.

Quote:
"Swiping the Lupine Twine Amulet was supposed to be an easy heist.
But when I accidentally put it on, I ended up with incredible strength
and the worst body hair problem I’ve ever had."


Help Lucas MacGuffin (magician turned thief turned werewolf) through a compelling new comedy adventure from the rising indie stars behind Jolly Rover.

When MacGuffin bungles a museum robbery, he finds himself bound to an ancient amulet and suddenly fighting the urge to scratch himself. Using its powers to transform between man and wolf, he must sneak and smash his way through a mind-bending series of puzzles, bring down a terrifying criminal mastermind, and hardest of all, convince his daughter it isn't funny to fill the fridge with dog food.

This addictive puzzler inspired by classic Legend of Zelda dungeons, will win over casual and seasoned players alike. Gamers on the go can enjoy a quick, fun fix, with a seamlessly integrated hints system to keep them moving. And veteran adventure game fans will be hooked by the razor-sharp LucasArts-style dialogue, a treasure-trove of secrets and an engaging story.

With charming hand-drawn art, an eccentric cast of characters and insanely catchy music, players everywhere will be touched by Lucas MacGuffin's heartfelt, relatable struggle to stay away from fire hydrants.

When I saw the headline "MacGuffin's Curse", I thought it was Mortimer MacGuffin from The Book of Unwritten Tales lol
