Item Description

A well-dressed giraffe ducking through a manor doorway to examine a crime scene: Lord Winklebottom Investigates earns a smile before the first clue is found. Cave Monsters' point-and-click mystery sends the world's most distinguished giraffe detective to a faraway island in the 1920s, where his childhood friend Gilfrey, an axolotl of some standing, has been found dead, and every guest in the house seems to be hiding something.

The suspects are a wonderfully odd menagerie of house guests and household staff, every one of them an animal with a motive, an alibi and a secret to protect, and questioning them is half the fun. Lord Winklebottom works the case with his loyal and rather grumpy companion Dr. Frumple, and when you get stuck, sitting down to a cup of tea with Frumple is the game's way of offering a nudge in the right direction. It is a lovely, very British touch.

The puzzles play to the cast. A giraffe can reach places other detectives cannot, so Winklebottom's height opens up solutions on upper floors, while his gentlemanly manners rule out the obvious, impolite ones. The interface is streamlined to show only the actions that matter, and the investigation gradually spreads beyond Gilfrey's manor to the rest of the island. Hand-painted backdrops that recall the plates of an old natural-history book frame the action, and the voice cast plays the animals straight, with dry comic timing instead of squeaks and grunts.

Think Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes by way of a children's picture book, with plenty of puns. At a few hours long it is a mystery for a rainy weekend rather than a marathon, and as a PAL release it brings a little import flavor to a Switch shelf of quirky narrative adventures.
