About the Game


From Lex to Rex is a point-and-click adventure game inspired by classics of this genre such as Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and Hollywood Monsters. Lex, a plebeian tired of being hungry, decides to usurp the Rex! It is about the power of appearances using food as a common thread and strives to be funny and intelligent.

It's a quest where each room presents itself as a challenge.

Lex Is Tired Of Being Hungry!

Your journey will take you through pixelated scenarios inhabited by peculiar characters from the medieval royalty. Forget the main plan and go straight to the plan B. Become a friend of a pig, start from below and make your way to the top, let a princess get angry, deceive a chef, use objects from the environment and from your inventory. Whatever it takes to become Rex! But were you the first to come up with that plan?
