I love Pendulo's graphic style! A nice adventure but unfortunately with some illogical puzzles.

Jan. 2025

Bizzare adventure full of confusing puzzles (characters themselves sometimes comment on that), all kinds of references (bioshock one was my favourite), funny dialogues and fourth wall breaking. All this sprinkled with good acting and art as per usual and we've got ourselves a fine way to spend evening.

I got this game for around sixty cents as part of an adventure bundle, and wasn't expecting much. However, it's surprisingly good -- a funny story with colorful graphics and solid voice acting, much like the Monkey Island games. If you enjoy retro point-and-click adventures, and like zany plot lines, I think you'll enjoy this one. It will probably take around 5-7 hours to play, depending on your puzzle-solving skills (I used a walkthrough at certain points, but there's a built-in hint system). A hidden gem, i give it a 7/10.

Jugado y completado en 7 horas. Los gráficos de escenarios y personajes son muy atractivos y están muy bien animados. Las conversaciones son divertidas. Los puzzles, en general, no son complicados. La historia es ingeniosa y nada convencional, tal vez demasiado extraña, a mi me ha costado entrar. Si hay algo que no me ha gustado demasiado es la manera en que las distintas partes de la aventura se van presentando, recurren a un narrador para llevar la continuidad entre esas partes, y a mi me ha resultado poco simpático. Aún así yo recomendaría el juego.
