Doc Braun's time-machine has crashed in a cave - but where, and when? Play as Julius, an erudite and sardonic English art student, to get the two out of this unfortunate situation.
The situation being; they're on an island of cows. Like, cow-people. With clothes, and American accents. And also there's one human chick who's probably into grimecore.
This comedy adventure game borrows from the Lucasarts games of the mid-90's, like Sam & Max Hit the Road, Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango -- meaning you don't have to worry about dying (well except in Grim Fandango), and are free to enjoy the adventure.
The control system lets you easily investigate every object and interogate (nicely) every character, so you have plenty of room to think, and not click all day. With a specially composed (by human, not AI) soundtrack, lush sound-effects, and large cinemographs and detailed backgrounds,you will feel immersed and at home in the environment; which is good, because about 10 minutes in you meet a talking horse, so if we hadn't taken this much care...
With an easy, (mostly) linear narrative, and lots of humour and moon-logic puzzling, Lost on Cow Island will have you lmao-ing for 5 hours - towards an ending you never saw coming!
