Yorkshire Gubbins

A casual point-and-click adventure in the style of old LucasArts SCUMM games (Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, etc) - both in interface and general sense of humor. The draw here is of course the pervasive Yorkshire, England banter and culture...about seven years before the more recent and higher budget Thank Goodness You're Here! While the experience is no Phoenix Nights, a grin never left my face. And unlike Phoenix Nights, you won't need a local translator to understand 3/4's of the dialog if unfamiliar with the dialects. Of course, the elephant in the room here is the fact that the game is officially abandoned. The included four episodes are only a fraction of the original plan, and two are noticeably brief. The whole game will probably take you around two hours, and no sales are coming. So, if you're a $1/hr kinda gamer or not into British humor, this one might be a tough sell. [h1]The Good[/h1] +Saves on exit (including multiple chapters at once) +Chapter select +Primary voice acting is great +Game hints at item/object use pretty well. No moon logic. +Minor replayability via one-time dialog choices +Can skip previously-heard dialog +Keyboard shortcuts for commands (game doesn't tell you this) +Speaking of dialog...the pixel mouths almost appear lip-synced? So many SCUMM games were just two, or a handful of random frames of mouth movement. [h1]YMMV[/h1] ~The draw here is the Yorkshire atmosphere and dialect ~2 hours max for a playthrough ~Puzzle content is rather simple. It's almost a walking simulator in a way. [h1]The [strike]Bad[/strike] Unfortunate[/h1] -Game honestly abandoned by dev due to IRL issues. No more sales or content. Played on: Win11Pro, i7-14700K, RTX5060 Ti 16GB, 32GB DDR5-6000 @ 1920x1080 using KB&M

Honestly just the most charming and wonderful game I've played in years - great humour, lovely graphics and genuinely fun graphic adventure puzzles. Loved it to bits.

Hilarious, truly. A game about an accent, and I want more.

Hilarious!

This is an absolutely brilliant game, and so flipping funny. AND with that price, please just get it already

This is silly and fun - I love it!
