The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

A twitch game disguised as a puzzle game. PROS: -Endearing aesthetic -Base puzzle mechanic is interesting CONS: -The gameplay requires split second execution of the solutions. Although you may have figured out the solution, actually doing it is another story.

8.5/10 Mr. P.B. Winterbottom is very fond of tarts, especially blueberry tarts, which is why it seems like his job is to steal tarts. This is the full plot of The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. Although other strange things also happen, like time travel or Tart's escape from Mr. Winterbottom. This game has a strange story that is told very simply, but not very well. The narrative is very similar to the first films in history in the early 20th century. When black and white movies were accompanied by music and had no sound, and sometimes short sentences were used to gain understanding of the subject. In The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom also has such a simple narrative, with the difference that no story is told during the gameplay, because the gameplay requires the player's full concentration. The gameplay is a combination of puzzle and platforming, which is very well-designed. The only problem is that some stages are very difficult, and the game can be visually boring for some players. +: The game has the feeling of classic movies of the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century Good music is a big part of the game Very good puzzles that also have a good variety Simple but attractive art style Acceptable platforming -: Some levels are very hard, and the mechanisms are sometimes annoying The game can lose its visual appeal during stages

*Warning: spoilers* Amazing little puzzle game with beautiful artwork. I was happily surprised when I first played The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. It looks so simple and small but offers a fun puzzle experience overall. From what I understood, this was a little game for a student’s graduate, the irony here is that I think it is a better game than all the triple AAA indie games out there today. In The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, you play as a cute little man with a mustache who wants to eat pie. The pies are all in hard-to-reach places and you need to figure out how to get to them. You have the ability to bent time and space and create different clones of yourself. You can record an action and one of your clones will do this action while you can perform a different action. When combining multiple actions and setting up some clones to help you reach a certain platform, everything comes together, and you can reach that delicious pie. If the clones bump into each other, they fall over, and you need to try again. The principle of the game is simple yet unique and a lot of fun. It is on the same level as puzzle games like Nihilumbra. The puzzles are very challenging and require many tries sometimes. They are all perfectly doable but sometimes, your timing needs to be absolutely perfect, or you will fail. The graphics and animation in the game are all done in silent film, black and white style. It got a steampunk/renaissance vibe over it; I liked it very much. In terms of controls, they are spot on. Everything is responsive and the only thing to blame if you fail a level, is yourself. There is no sound (because of the silent film style) but there is some excellent piano music playing in true 1920’s style. It fits the theme and game very well. My only complaint about The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is the name, because it is very hard to remember or pronounce, but other than that, I think this is a fantastic little puzzle game to keep you occupied for a few hours. Definitely would recommend it.

Es una maravilla pero me parece difícil. En un punto manejas clones con la secuencia que graves de ellos. Recomendado quien le guste esta dificultad.

Muy Entretenido

this game is good but maybe I hate it

Marrant, des Casse-tête marrants et sans trop prise de tête

One of the earliest games I bought on Steam after transitioning from console gaming, this was part of my first dive into random, cheap indie titles - and it’s still one of the most memorable. It’s a charming little puzzle-platformer with an incredible soundtrack and witty writing (for how little writing there is). My only gripe is a classic short-game issue: each zone introduces a new power, and just when things start getting really interesting, that zone ends and a new mechanic takes over. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it, and the soundtrack has stayed in my rotation ever since.
