For as long as computer games have been in existence, the point and click genre has been there to usher fans into a unique and personal world of storytelling. Mixing in puzzles to the genre has also offered a challenge that keeps the quiet genre alight with new ideas and adventures.
Some of the best examples of these adventures have been games like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, which has served as inspiration for the developers at VLG to create Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town! This new title acts as a love letter to the genre that it is based in and offers challenging puzzles, multiple twists, and even a pirate-themed setting!
This homage to the genre offers multiple NPCs, a futuristic take on the classic idea of pirates, and it's all in a fully rendered 3D world! Recently, a new gameplay trailer was released for the game that shows off what the game has to offer!
At $19.99, the game will be available on Steam later next month! Until then, make sure to share your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to check out the new trailer!
As Willy sets out to discover the whereabouts of his missing father, the esteemed archaeologist Henry Morgan, he’ll unravel a web of secrets with the help of a whimsical cast of characters. Willy’s adventure may seem daunting at first, but humorous dialogue, freeform exploration and adorable cartoon graphics make this a quest that people of all ages can enjoy. Oldschool point-and-click fans are in for a treat, as the game references some of the genre’s most iconic titles through easter eggs and other subtle nods.
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town will release on Steam and COG for Steam and PC on August 11th!
