About the Game

Thanks Merlin

Thanks Merlin is an adventure platformer with elements of horror and puzzles, where the main goal is to uncover the mystery behind the strange entertainment complex “Thanks Merlin.”

After receiving a clue about the disappearance of children, you head to the abandoned high-tech complex and soon find yourself trapped inside. Its creator and owner, the inventor Merlin, is still here — along with his faithful assistant, the giant toy Chummy Tummy.

Armed with special devices and weapons, you must uncover the story of Merlin, his helper, and the fate of the missing children. To succeed, you’ll have to solve puzzles, overcome deadly traps, and face the army of Merlin’s controlled “pets.”

A world of childhood and fun, twisted by science!
Once a place of joy and laughter, the entertainment complex was closed after a terrible incident. Now it is filled with secrets and dangers.

Chummy Tummy

The star product of Merlin’s store — the famous toy Chummy Tummy.
Once loved by children and parents alike, this cute creature has now become your biggest threat.
