There’s no doubt that indies have more than brought the classic point-and-click adventure genre back from the dead, many adhering to the classic LucasArts-type formula and others going their own route to varying results. Lone McLonegan certainly has its own quirky sense of humor, hovering often between more biting humor and goofy dad jokery, and if you’re a fan of getting some laughs that way it can be fun on a budget. As for the adventure aspects it’s not quite as interesting or refined as you may have come to expect, more often simply being functional and on occasion requiring some desperate trial and error to get by. Interface-wise I appreciate that it works in a pretty streamlined fashion, at least not getting bogged down with an encumbered and over-complicated UI, keeping things relatively light and quick aside from when you can’t figure out what you need to do next. For the price it’s not a bad deal, and should provide some entertainment to genre fans, you just can’t expect a terribly polished production for that price.
