If you enjoy puzzle books, but wish they were wrapped in an inconsistent adventure game about a fairy tale wolf who wants to be a genie, this is the game you’ve been looking for. Seriously, just buy a puzzle book, you’ll have more fun. Also, do [b]not[/b] buy this if you expect to play on an up-to-date Mac. It crashes on launch as of 10.9 and there is no developer support.
This game is from 2009!!!! But it playes like it is from 1999! Seriously the curse of monkey island 3 came out in 1997. So it even would be bad than! There are no Resolution options and it isn't even close to HD and by 2009 this was about standard. Also it only has sometimes voice acting but most of the time not, the curse of monkey island was fully voice acted. I found the characters charming and the riddles okay I guess, it would be a recommandable game if it did those things right. If it was from 1999 I would forgive those things but in 2009? Seriously?
The game starts out with a mother being awful to her son, followed by a genie being awful to that same boy (or wolf, rather). While this is going on, you get some tidbits of the game's ridiculous 'story,' which made me want to have nothing to do with this game. Once the puzzles start, they're things you've almost certainly seen before if you play puzzle games from time to time; the brain training exercises also all felt familiar from "that one franchise of brain-training games." Ex. Ever moved three coins to make the arrow point in the opposite direction? Then you're ready to do that puzzle again in this game. Clicking on everything in a room to see what causes the story to progress has never felt like a great use a time, but it apparently is what makes this game tick. The main character, as other reviews mention, is a bit depressing to listen to. He clearly dislikes his life, despairs over his poor social skills, his unpopularity with females and his asthma, and seems to only be able to foster contentious relationships. And the game gives me the impression that it's as much his fault as anyone else's. Perhaps he should get a referral to visit an endocronologist to see if there's a hormonal reason that he's such a jerk...or perhaps we should just blame his mother for raising him that way. Either way, I fully expect this kid to die alone and unloved. When the genie talks to the main character, he's borderline abusive; when the genie becomes an interface element, he's all smiles. That, I suppose, is one of the game's mysteries. Or perhaps that's just the kind of home that fosters miserable kids like this game's main character. So, in conclusion, this game is mediocre at best, and I hope you don't pay for it.
玩游戏找罪受
Fun short game. Can be beat in a hour or two. Story is cute and at times silly. The puzzles are not very hard, and they build on each other so if you apply what you figured out before it helps on future puzzles.
ei niin hyvä eikä oikeen toimi kunnolla.
[b]B[/b]rilliantly absurd, this game puts you in the slippers of the most unexpected hero — Big Bad Wolf himself, turned vegetarian, would-be genius, and reluctant champion. Brimming with puzzles that tickle the mind and stories that poke fun at fairy-tale tropes, beneath the humor lies thoughtful design, balancing sharp wit with engaging challenges that make you smile while you think. [b]I[/b]magination runs wild in this world of twisted fables and eccentric characters, injecting new life into tales we thought we knew, inviting us to laugh at familiar archetypes and love them all the same. It’s not just a puzzle game — it’s a theatrical comedy with a mischievous heart, intertwining logic, story, and charm into something that feels utterly unique. [b]G[/b]ames like this are rare treasures, giving players clever brainteasers alongside a genuinely funny script. Giggles and “a-ha!” moments arrive in equal measure, garnished with clever writing, whimsical artwork, and a delightfully quirky atmosphere. Genuinely underrated, this is a hidden gem worth rediscovery — great proof that intelligence and comedy can coexist in gaming. [b]B[/b]eyond the puns, beyond the fairy-tale parodies, there’s real heart here, because the wolf isn’t just a caricature, but a character you root for, flaws and all. Breaking from tradition, he isn’t wicked but wonderfully odd, bringing a sense of freshness to every twist in the story. [b]R[/b]iddles abound, puzzles challenge without cruelty, rewarding patience and persistence with that wonderful spark of satisfaction. Rather than tedious repetition, the game embraces variety: rows of logic puzzles, spatial challenges, math riddles, all woven into narrative. Refreshing, inventive, and deeply enjoyable, it proves itself again and again. [b]A[/b]dventure games often lean on dialogue or fetch quests, and yet here is one that dares to make the puzzle itself the core delight. Astonishing, really, how well it works: a fairy-tale courtroom, a wolf defending himself with wit and intellect, a cascade of clever trials and comic encounters that feel timeless. [b]I[/b]n an industry quick to forget oddities, this one deserves remembrance. It takes bravery to be this unusual, inverting tropes, poking fun at heroes and villains alike, inspiring us to see fairy tales in a new light, inviting us to embrace both laughter and challenge. [b]N[/b]ot enough people have played it, and that is a shame, not when it offers so much joy, humor, and cleverness. Never has “Big Bad Wolf” felt so endearing, now recast as a lovable oddball whose brainpower is his greatest weapon. [b]W[/b]onderfully weird, beautifully brainy, witty in ways few puzzle games dare to be, woven through with charm, humor, and sly self-awareness. Whether you’re in it for the riddles, the story, or the sheer originality, wolfish grins are guaranteed from start to finish. [b]O[/b]verlooked but outstanding, it’s a perfect pick for puzzle lovers, offering dozens of brain-teasers wrapped in playful satire. Only a studio unafraid of strangeness could have made this, and it shows — in every joke, every character, every clever challenge. [b]L[/b]ike a stage play brought to life, it enchants with theatrical flair. Logic, laughter, and lore collide in spectacular fashion, leaving you both entertained and enriched when the credits roll. Long after you’ve solved its final puzzle, the wolf remains in memory — legendary proof that fairy tales can be funny, smart, and fresh again. [b]F[/b]or anyone seeking a hidden gem, this is it: funny, intelligent, and unforgettable. Few puzzle comedies shine this bright, forever cementing Big Brain Wolf as a game that deserves far more love.
Not an adventure game. Awful puzzle game. Tedious and mediocre puzzles that repeat themselves, just longer versions. Used a guide for most of it, which is pretty unusual. I didn't really "beat" the game, but I just don't care. It's done and I can never think about it again. Don't buy this game.
great game, nice graphic, a lot of puzzles to solve, some are interesting but almost of them are pretty simple, relaxing to play, would recommend it :) however, the character walks so slow, and puzzles are sometimes difficult to find
very fun but idk if it is really "family friendly "lmao
