Foolish Mortals is everything that is good about this type of point-and-click
adventure. Whilst we will get more into the weeds as we work through this review,
as a general proposition there is arguably nothing that needed tweaking, let alone reworking.

The game casts you in the role of Murphy McCallan, an auditor cum
treasure hunter in 1933, newly arrived at a small island off the coast of Louisiana.

Devil's Rock it’s called, and the fact that the taxi drops you off short of the town of
Deadnettle and won't go any closer is probably not a good sign.

Thank flotsam (and Drac)!

Regarding this: " turn off timed puzzles", do you know if you can have that turned on but then turn it off while in the game so you can try it timed but change it if you can't do it? I guess that would be more like a "skip button" then though. Just wondering.

The person I know who played through the game does not even remember there being any traditional timed puzzles per se. He considers it to be a nonissue for most players.

Thank you very much for the review, flotsam. Much appreciated. wave

And thank you too, Drac. smile

I can’t say definitively but suspect you can oldbroad. I switched some things on and off (save game summary for instance) as I went along and the game responded accordingly.
