The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a whimsical point’n’click adventure with a surrealist story, astounding hand-drawn animations and hilarious puzzles. Mr. Coo is trapped and broken into pieces. But most of all, he has no idea of what’s going on. Is that a giant chicken over there?

What players say
While this game is cute, I found myself in positions to where I was completely lost without a guide. Sometimes even with hints, I would just be completely stuck as the hint was something farther in the steps of the puzzle you had to solve. It reminds me of Grim Fandango in that sense. The game was really short (Probably because I was babied by the guide lol) and it made me think there was more but it ended so fast...
Mr. Coo is a visual delight but conclusively a lackluster P&C game, because in order to house all these beautiful surreal visuals with a bunch of different art syles expertly mixed together alongside of absurd humor that made me laugh like a little baby, revolving around a narrative with loose themes like time, love and creative struggles with endless amount of charm and creativity displayed after every time you...
Looking at this game I think it's pretty obvious to everyone that the art style is absolutely superb. Everything is hand drawn and beautifully animated. It delivers a truly unique experience that I would recommend to try. The music is nice too, well fitting. The puzzles themselves can be tricky and most of the time it's a matter of trial and error rather than a logical approach. But I don't think it's an issue given...
