Nice Artwork, nice story and quite solvable!

Nov. 2024

The level of the puzzles and lenght of the game and story were perfect for me.I really liked the humor and the LOTR and cast away references.Sauron and The Leader? yes the same thing haha.Coming from parents who lived in the communism era in Romania,this was very educating and i could find lots of the facts my parents related to me , in this game.The secretly spying on everyone,the long lines for food,everyone holding an empty bag ,the fact that money doesent have as much value when there isnt anything to spend it on,the overuse of the word Execute..heck i even know the lyrics of the song from the star on the wall in the hotel room.It was well made and i liked the art style,and want to thank the artists for doig a great job.

Relatively short, diverting point & click adventure. Puzzle wise it's not that complicated and should you get stuck somewhere, they added a hint-mechanic via telephones. I think the setting is a fresh breath of air and the humor was entertaining for the most part. The game doesn't take itself very serious at all.

Great humor, funny story and cool puzzles. If liked the Deponia series you will for sure enjoy this game. The story really keeps you entertained to the very end and you will for sure enjoy it if you know some history of the USSR.

Feb. 2024

If the phrase "Daedelic Does Stalin!" excites you, this is the game for you. Don't expect any meaningful or even coherent form of character development, and the puzzles are eh. So is the ending. What's on show here are Artifex Mundi's take on the American "useful idiot" and on the Soviet Union, which is so enthusiastically portrayed as miserable and decayed that AM seems gleeful about it.

The Wardrobe - Even Better Edition Inspired by the great ‘90s classics such as 'Monkey Island', 'Day of the Tentacle', 'Tony Tough' and 'Sam & Max: Hit the Road', "The Wardrobe" has a strong sense of humour, but isn't shy about dealing with mature and non-politically correct themes.
