Never thought I'd see a scifi adaptation of The Monkey's Paw (and in game form, no less), but here we are--and it really works! Like many of the comments said, I absolutely felt The Dig vibes with the art style and gameplay. Really amazing work.

Thanks for playing it and the comments. The Dig vibes some up a lot and that’s likely a mixture of me being a huge fan of the game as well as people yearning for a good sci fi point and clock again (there are basically not every many especially with an old school art style?). I re-read Monkey’s Paw last year and it stuck with me. I remember seeing various adaptations on tv as a kid and they always stuck with me, so I figured it might be a good backdrop for a game.
MP really is a great story that offers so much to work with. I was wondering how you would manage the climax; I'm happy to say I was very, very nervous (but in the best way possible)! If you ever revisit this game, it would be exciting to see how you might expand upon it. There's definitely a multitude of options.
