You’ll play through the adventure as Bjorn, a somewhat unusual slacker who deals in antiques and leads a bachelor’s lifestyle. Through a stroke of luck he apparently managed to acquire an unusual-looking piece that included a stone tablet of some value. After being assaulted while returning home one night in a stupor he discovers it is missing and sets out on a mission to find it, after some prodding accompanied by his neighbor Sandra and her daughter Caroline. From there you’ll be on a tour of multiple locales in search of answers and cookies that are hidden everywhere and that come in handy when you find yourself a bit lost. While the typical genre trappings are all here: searching for objects, talking to people, and solving puzzles using your inventory items in sometimes unusual and unexpected ways, it’s consistently the game’s humor that strays from the norm. Whether in the form of Bjorn’s simple comments on items he encounters, the dialogue he gets into with others, or some of the things you can do to kill (you’ll come right back to where you left off, why not find out what happens?) or entertain yourself this really is what makes or breaks the game. Can it venture into the more juvenile, sure, but there’s no doubt an audience that get a kick out of it. Aside from that it’s a mostly generic experience but I’ll give it credit for choosing a lane and sticking with it, providing something a little different in the process.
