Do you remember Fury of the Furries? How about Lost Vikings? Commander Keen? And what about witty adventures like Simon the Sorcerer and Monkey Island? Do you enjoy traumatizing yourself by wallowing in nostalgia for old-school games from the '90s? Well, I sure do! Come, let's have some ale and share memories.
Implausible Tales is an adventure puzzle platformer that focuses more on the adventure and puzzle aspects, and less on the platforming. Though, you’ll still need to jump. In each level, you start with one of four imps and must use your wits to find crystals and unlock the others.
Each imp has unique abilities that help you solve puzzles and often deconstruct the level in the process. You’ll frequently need to backtrack and search for previously blocked passages. Each level contains several secrets that aren’t required to complete the game but offer quite a challenge if you want to discover them all.
The game tries to be funny, but you’ll be the judge of all the puns and fourth-wall breaks...
