Trüberbrook

This strange story never makes it quite clear where it is going. It is an average point and click, with beautiful graphics and quirky characters. The awkward animations do not diminish the charm of the silly adventure. Most puzzles have background information provided to help resolve, even though there will be a lot of back-tracking.

Nice relaxed charming humorous point and click adventure with good story, items to look for and put in the right place (press the spacebar to show interactable items/spots marked with a red x). The animations are funny and are a piece Art. The surroundings (chambers, environmemt) are a piece of Art as well! Sometimes, you have to trade items with a non-player-character. Have fun!

I love a good puzzle game. My 9yr old and I have been playing this together. At times we've found it a bit challenging and even needed some assistance. The artwork is lovely and the story is interesting.

An enjoyable calm adventure game. The only time I got truly stuck was in a later chapter which says a lot about the ease of gameplay.

Great game. If you get stuck or want to get all of the achievements, I recommend using the following guide.

Very interesting puzzle game! Loved the design, and voice actors. Puzzle solutions mostly made sense, if were a bit silly at times. Lovely!

Trüberbrook's a very strange point-and-click adventure game that feels pretty heavily inspired by Twin Peaks and/or Lynchian surrealism in general. I personally found it quite enjoyable, though the tonal shifts were sometimes quite jarring (which, I suppose, is in keeping with its Twin Peaks influence). For instance, the game starts out playing it pretty "straight" for the most part, but soon you're randomly destroying town monuments for no good reason and riding a tram system using coat hangers, before eventually whipping back to more grounded activities like informing a character that you've just found her brother's dead body. The game's full of your typical adventure-game antics which I feel are often a bit at odds with the general tone. It does also suffer from the usual adventure game conundrums where you may not have a clue how you solved a puzzle even after you've solved it -- there's one in particular involving getting a cat down from a tree where I'm not even sure which items I used in the attempt.
Regardless, it's a pretty delicious slow burn, and it's visually lovely. I don't think I've ever played a point-and-click adventure game quite like this one, and I was glad to have the experience.
