Voice acting is where the game is a little…off. There's a few characters done exceptionally well, like the detective and your cat but the biggest problem is with Buzz. Personally, I found Buzz the majority of the time to be quite jarring. Buzz has his moments, some which did genuinely make me chuckle but it's few and far between.

It's not all bad though, I do think overall it's a good game and worth spending some time with, especially if you do usually enjoy point and click adventures. There's a lot to appreciate in Gibbous, the great artwork and lovely smooth animations really help sell the experience. Not just the characters though, all the background art is simply wonderful and it all gives off a fantastic atmosphere.

Some pretty good humour too, not the constant laugh out loud kind of comedy but enough to keep you smiling as you play through it.

There's a lot to Examine out here, so feel free to do so! If you leave the Dorm Entrance via the right side of the screen (or the dorm entrance's left), you can return to the Miskatonic Library.

No issues with the Linux version, everything seems to be running very smoothly. You can point and click on over to either GOG or Steam for a copy.

Gibbous Walkthrough

Is it fair to start a review of a Cthulhu-inspired game by pointing out that Lovecraftian stories and games have been done to undeath? Perhaps not, and in Gibbous – A Cthulhu Adventure it would also do the game a disservice, so I shall absolutely refrain from it.

A review key for Gibbous – A Cthulhu Adventure was kindly provided by the developers, and the game was played on Mac and Windows.

Gibbous is a delightful Point-and-Click with a visual style that reaches back to old classics of the genre, and a richness and softness not completely disconnected from that of the Animation Renaissance – Every scene is a joyful experience, and if you don’t feel like cheating by holding down space to highlight things of interest, you can have a good time hunting down everything to interact with.

Not Much Bite, Though

Gibbous A Cthulhu Adventure Walkthrough

The game itself is completely linear, with a set of puzzles to solve, all which can be done through simple exhaustion of all options, and with very few exceptions you never carry anything that isn’t used either immediately or at least in the same chapter. OK, one puzzle would be VERY time-consuming if the player simply tried every combination, but the point stands. There is also no option to fail a step, or take a different path through the game. Do something wrong, and you get a fully-voiced reaction from some character, even ad nauseam, until you do the correct thing.

Point And Laugh

The name of the game sorta gives away that Gibbous is a story about the Occult, with a nod and a wink to H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, and the game doubles down on this with an early chapter being set in Fishmouth-is-definitely-not-Innsmouth, and several humorous variations on themes from that mythos and frankly almost everything else from the Gothic Horror genre.

And humour is the key to why Gibbous shouldn’t be lumped together with everything else trying to praise that old racist Lovecraft – It may have dark and mysterious settings, but the narrative is consistently lighthearted, with callbacks, in-jokes and references everywhere in the environment and dialogue.

You initially play as a Romanian, from Transylvania, because of course you do, who accidentally has a speaking cat that would give any other fictitious, speaking cat a run for their money on being snarky, while also not being a raven. There’s the painfully archetypical American detective, and a young not-princess in a castle needing saving.

The varied cast is a part of how Gibbous deals with the questionable baggage it invariably carries with it, but at the same time feels like it was coming up short here, partly due to how and when it introduces them and makes use of them. Ice lakes fire.

The choice of life: middle ages - soundtrack download free version. The team starts out in what could very well be Massachusetts, but is soon galavanting around the north-western part of the world, visiting France, Romania, and even an island in the middle of nowhere, and in each locale you play as 1 or 2 characters trying to solve puzzles and escaping whatever basement they find themselves stuck in this time.

Along the way you meet every kind of character imaginable, ripped from various stories, mythos, history and cultures, and all changed ever so slightly to fit in with the absurd world that Gibbous inhabits. There are plenty of stereotypes, and plenty of stereotypes that have been put on their heads as commentary. Everybody is at least a little bit off, to stay in line with the absurd, but not inherently evil, and once you’ve solved their little problem you can move along. There were perhaps 1 or 2 characters or quests I would have skipped, as they served little but to remind the player of a negative stereotype, but they didn’t detract from the overall experience

Conclusions

So going back to the start of this review, Gibbous is indeed a delight, an overall good story that is mostly well told, which you can enjoy independent of any prior knowledge of the stories it builds upon. The amount of facepalming you may end up doing, though, is possibly directly proportional to how many of the various references you catch, but they’ll be the good kind of facepalming.

For this outing, Gibbous is a great game, and I absolutely hope that the developers at S
