About the game
Inspired by the great ‘90s classics such as 'Monkey Island', 'Day of the Tentacle', 'Tony Tough' and 'Sam & Max: Hit the Road', "The Wardrobe" has a strong sense of humour, but isn't shy about dealing with mature and non-politically correct themes.

What players say
boh, questo gioco sembra tanto una scusa per fare citazioni pop simpatiche, La storia e i personaggi sono completamente piatti e non ti ci affezioni minimamente, gli enigmi sono o troppo facili o completamente senza senso e non risolvibili senza guida. un grosso meh

One of the worst point-and-click adventures I've ever played. Most of the puzzles make ZERO sense, yet the obnoxious protagonist never misses a chance to call you 'stupid' or 'idiotic' for every single item combination you try, it is so extremely annoyng. The forced humor in every single line of dialogue gets old fast, especially since most of the jokes are predictable and just don't land. Annoyng character + forced...
The good : - Graphics. It's saturated to the hilt in every meaning of the word. - Writing and humor. Very good. Some of the lines are extremely hilarious. - Music and voice acting. Both top notch. The bad : - Some of the puzzles are impossible to crack without bruteforcing. P.S. Chicken with the pulley in the middle - check.
