Still "Coming Soon", but the devs are livestreaming a playthrough right now on Steam, so it's probably more Soon-Soon than Soon.
Holy crap, one day left to go!
I'm not gonna lie, we are scared pantless. I've started thinking of this game back in 2014. It's been five freakin' years. We've put all our savings, energy and free time into this.
It's.. scary. But exciting!
And some reviews:
Softpedia - "All in all, Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure is a game that no self-proclaimed point-and -click fan should overlook, as it will definitely find a place in your gaming library, comedy movie collection, and finally, your heart."
Powerup Gaming - "I haven’t shouted, cheered, or laughed this much at a point and click adventure in a very, very long time."
GamersGlobal.de - " Definitely a recommendation to all adventure fans"
Our mutual translator Eduardo says it's easily adventure game of the year and that Kitteh is a greatest of all time sidekick. I'll be grabbing it this weekend!Holy crap, one day left to go!

The Good:
The Bad:
- Incredible art design and animation
- Wacky sense of humour
- Good voice acting from two of the three main characters
- Some clever, satisfying puzzles
- Story is convoluted and hard to follow
- Dialogue can sometimes sound unnatural
- Grating voice acting from the third protagonist and some supporting characters
- Entirely unsatisfactory ending
The Good
The Bad
- EXTREMELY funny
- Beautiful hand drawn animations
- Wonderful backgrounds
- Enchanting soundtrack
- So many objects to interact with it makes the game a speed runner's nightmare
- Way too short
Don't really care that much about the puzzle part, maybe it's because over the years i have gotten more used to playing easy adventure games and Visual Novels, but sometimes i appreciate just having simple puzzles that don't make me get stuck for hours, even if they are really simple puzzles.
Besides, i play adventure games for the plot, characters and a world to explore and interact with, not puzzles themselves, they are just an extra, but i guess not everyone thinks the same way?
Ugh -- looking at Steam reviews, it seems like Mr. Underhill got defrauded by a bad translation company, and basically every negative review the game is getting is from Russian/Asian players who are disappointed in the translations.
