Foolish Mortals

I went into this game looking for a good spooky detective game. I honestly bought it among other detective puzzle games that I ended up breezing through and I only had this game left to play. I was a little reluctant to start the game after I had fallen in love with the other 2 games... But I booted it up and wow. I. LOVED. THIS. GAME. SO. MUCH. It was reminiscent of the Nancy Drew and Monkey Island games from yesteryear. (also a little Barbie Detective too). I loved how challenging some of the puzzles were to figure out. They are NOT just handed to you. There were so many times where I thought I had it, but I had to really think and figure it out. On top of some GREAT puzzles, the story was fantastic. I loved every bit of the story and the twists and turns. I am SO glad I played this game. It brought me back to my early computer days and kept my brain working to get to the end. Thank you for this masterpiece. 100/10

Good story and puzzles, beautiful graphics, great voice acting.

Simply beautiful. Made me feel back to melee island, where I met my first adventure back in the 90's. A lovesong to the golden age of point and click without being a copy Visuals are great, the characters are quite interesting and the soundtrack and the sound ambience are tunned to the plot. The plot has it's surprises (at least one major), but let's say it's simple. That's not a problem The puzzles are neither dumb nor overcomplicated. There is no moon logic; not once. I felt they were a bit too easy on the begining, but as the story progresses it warms up and the puzzles start to feel interesting. Not all of them, but you never get bored It was made with both love and talent and deserves a place among my modern favorites

I love this game! I grew up in the era of adventure games. My favorites are Monkey Island 1,2 and 3, Loom, King's Quest 6, and Day of the Tentacle. If you love these kinds of games, you will love Foolish Mortals. After the classic LucasArts era ended, there hasn't been any adventure games that have caught my eye until now. Foolish Mortals has some great puzzles and creativity - with hints of Monkey Island and King's Quest 6. The puzzles are challenging, but I got through all but one within looking for hints. Thank you to the creators for making this game. I look forward to playing the game again in the future. I truly hope there will be more from David and Sophie Younger and Inklingwood Studios.

Foolish Mortals is a game that shows its love to the past, respect that past, but ultimately lives in the here and now. Its one of the truest Point'n'click games in the past two decades or so - it brims with nostalgia and references to the old classics, but have more streamlined interface compared to them. The game have the right concoction of story and puzzle elements, resulting in a chemistry thats pushes the player from the first story segment to the next puzzle segment, and that formula is masterfully replicated as much as needed till the conclusion of the game. The puzzles difficulty are neither too hard, nor too easy - it's a Bullseye! The main component in it's story is not the plot itself, but the memorable characters and it's atmosphere - the latter is greatly enhanced by the amazing soundtrack created by Richard Prohm (and a very special piece by James Harrison -. Its only con, as mentioned by the adventuregamehotspot reviewer (Sam Amiotte-Beaulie), the game have a somewhat quirky manual save system.

Deserves to sit alongside the classic adventure games it's heavily inspired by. Great story, art, music and puzzles, loved it!

Foolish Mortals is a really solid adventure that gets pretty much everything right. From the very beginning, the game pulls you in with a gripping story, great atmosphere, and some excellent voice acting. All voice actors did a great job, while Murphy especially gives some serious George Stobbart vibes in the way he comments on anything you interact with. The sound design is another strong point. The music and sound effects change depending on what you are doing, which helps make the world feel more alive and keeps you engaged while exploring. Even showing hotspots on the screen plays this nice short satisfying tune. The backgrounds look fantastic and clearly take inspiration from classics like Broken Sword. They have a lot of detail and personality, making each location fun to explore. The character models and animations do not quite reach the same level, though. Characters often look a bit less detailed compared to the backgrounds, and their movements can feel stiff at times. The puzzles are also well done, with a nice mix of classic inventory puzzles, conversations, item-based challenges, and proper on-screen puzzles (for example the church glass puzzle). Overall, Foolish Mortals is a charming adventure with a great story, memorable atmosphere, and the kind of attention to detail that fans of classic adventure games will appreciate. The animations could use some extra polish, but everything else makes this an easy recommendation.

I really enjoyed this game! It's a really cool story with interesting puzzles and great humour. The hints are built into the game, so it's impossible to get stuck. The graphics and voice acting were also superb!

I just finished the game, it was really fun to play. Foolish Mortals is a good point&clic, with a great story, nice environments and interesting NPC. Bonus point, the objects can be used more than once ! I highly recommand it to the people who like that kind of games :)

DNF. I really did not enjoy this game. After 10 minutes of straight unskippable cut-scenes, including a tediously long song, I finally gave up and quit. Too much narration, and a snarky, sarcastic narrator that's not so much funny, as just grating. He just has to make a snarky comment on EVERYTHING. Sometimes you can skip the dialogue, sometimes you can't, and you're never sure which. And like another user mentioned, your quests are all 'shopping lists.' Find these 7 items for this. Find these 5 items for that...it feels just like filler puzzles. You're not so much "solving" the mystery, as just collecting items to progress the plot artificially. It's not for me.
