Hey guys I think you should play this game. (Or rather three games. There are three parts).
There are some flaws in the gameplay and it's prett short but it's worth it for the surprise ending.

It's a platformer, unlike most games posted here, but like most games it has pretty simplistic graphics (but they aren't ASCII :V).

Just try it and see.

Well, I love the John Defoe games and approved of his stealth platformer, so I'll try it out when I get home.

this game actually precedes the Art of Theft (I mean Yahtzee made it earlier, not that it's a prequel). however it's still as brilliant as the early Yahtzee games (though, as Chao said, it's a platformer not an Adventure game).

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Quite enjoying it. The plot twist in the second episode is very Yahtzee.  Currently on that episode's boss.

Spoilers below!


Took me a while to get this one.
Use the screwdriver on the panel underneath the keyhole of the crane, on the lower level.
The rest should become obvious.

Played through these a long time ago. And, as the OP says, it is well worth it for the fantastic ending.   :)

...Wow.  I just finished episode 3.

I feel compelled to say it again.

Wow.

Amazing.  Totally worth it, and ingeniously executed.  Probably one of his best, and I include 5 Days in that.  And the twist was worthy of 7 Days.

Anyone who hasn't already been convinced to play or not play this... you really should.  It's only about a half-hour per epsisode (my counts, not counting reloads, were each about 15 minutes).  You'll thank us later.

EDIT:  Which reminds me- where are my manners?

Thanks for posting this.

You have to type the code you get after walkthrough in the terminal in the 1st room of the 3d chapter.
And don't miss the golden ticket on the level.

It changes the ending only, however it's much more optimistic and fun.
