You’ll uncover weirdly dark secrets that never lead anywhere, learn life lessons that aren’t applicable to anyone over the age of twelve and explore a world that isn’t half as big as the game makes it seem.Īlthough all of this would’ve made for a decent enough game in the 1990s, in 2020, they make Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town feel like a game that’s failed to keep up with the times.
You’ll need to solve seemingly simple puzzles that end up having overly complex solutions, interact with character archetypes of the pirate variety, and make a few dialogue choices that don’t change much in the game’s story.
With that seemingly straightforward task in mind, you quickly find yourself point-and-clicking your way through the usual adventure game experience. You take control of a kid that bears more than a passing similarity to a younger you than you’d like to admit, receive a letter from your long lost not-Indiana Jones dad with instructions on how to find him, and without questioning anything, set out on a grand adventure. Styling itself after games from your childhood like Monkey Island, the game starts like all adventure games start. This is where Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town comes in. With those harsh realities in mind, you may find yourself wanting to return to the time when all you needed to worry about was not soiling your pants, and failing the invention of a time machine, you’ll have to settle for replaying the games of your childhood to get back into that mindset. On the other, though, setting your own bedtime almost never ends well, eating ice cream for a week straight will give you diabetes and Russian science juice is a lot more expensive than your parents made it seem. On one hand, it’s great to finally reach that magical age where you can set your own bedtime, eat ice cream for every meal and are able to drink that magical substance from Russia, best known as vodka.
To say that adulthood is the most decidedly mixed thing a human can experience is the understatement of the decade.
