Tick's Tales

"Tick's Tales" somehow manages to be an adventure game crash course. Its 2 hour (yep) game time is a bunch of laughs, dream logic puzzles that mostly make sense, a couple of really obscure puzzles, unnecessary pixel hunting, too much inventory, and a pleasant afternoon. It's not a great adventure game like "Monkey Island" or "Technobabylon," but if you can get it for anything below $2, have a go.

Just okay. Super short.

Tick's Tale is actually a surprisingly decent adventure game. Short, but decent. The beginning didn't leave such a good impression. The game seemed too lazy. Trudging onward though the puzzles are better than expected. There is more internal logic and consistency to them than most adventure games. The humour is also decent. Not great, but not cringy. The biggest gripe I have about the game is the name, Tick's Tale. I thought you would be playing as a tick or something along those lines. That is not the case however. The main character, who is simply a generic loser like 90% of all adventure games ever, is simply named Tick. If you like point and click adventure games, and the game is on discount, check it out.
