Powers in the Basement

A short point-and-click adventure game set in a comedic medieval fantasy world, deliberately reminiscent of the great classics from the 80s / 90s, with a specific sweet spot for LucasArts production.

“I'm sorry but these puzzles ruins it. I am used to pointing and clicking and combining and trying everything, but in this game you have to do stuff in an arranged order. And the game is a bit unresponsive so it's a huge drag with a cluttered inventory and illogical puzzles.”
