Cube Spot looks like he would come in quite handy.

Sefir—interesting. But are you sure those aren’t freckles?  Innocent

Nope! If you notice him in stagnation-form, he retains them even more clear.! Tongue

The MTV Spot?! Playing music videos in order to draw attention of you foes while you sneak behind them and take their keys?

My goodness, I thought spot had enough transformation types already - but these new ones are priceless!

I went back and checked. It would appear that you are correct. Looks like I’ll have to correct the answer to that question on my quiz.  Pan

I think I may have met a bug - I need to funnel the grease, and I remember that you need to get the ear trumpet from the Astronomer, but he’s not pulling it out (he just stands still), and there’s no dialog options with him. If I recall correctly, you need to wait for him to pull it out than snap it or look at it and talk to him, but no matter how long I wait he just stands.  Don’t help me just yet - just tell me if this is a bug or am I missing something?

...........

I did fairly good in the quiz - though I was fooled with the bear in the “d”. Can’t remember it at all. I also missed 2 clouds type. I’m also an insomniac, a free spirit, and I should apply for a government job. Cool

Diego—I didn’t encounter a bug there. Mild hint: just talking to the astronomer isn’t enough. You have to do something else.

The mysterious “d” bear from the quiz is on a shirt in Sadwick and Ben’s trailer—it’s hanging upside-down.

You are missing something!

When you do want some help, all you have to do is scroll some pages back, as Wilco had the same problem.

Yep, I was stuck in that one Diego, it’s not a bug. Frown


Another Spot form, this one is the Cool Spot (from 90s game) - his power is just chilling

Also saw this picture of TWW2 of Spot forms that are a bit scary

Great! Thumbs Up I’m seeing the “90s rapper” Spot form in that, and he’s singing Ice Ice Baby.

I wish I could chill as easily as Cool Spot can.

I’m completing my Sadwick color collection. I’ve already posted images in which he is blue, purple, orange, green-grey, and brown. I never did quite complete what I hoped would be a rainbow collection. The only time I saw Sadwick blush, near the end, it just turned him from blue to purple, so I never saw him red. And any type of yellow light had no effect, so to the best of my knowledge, he’s never yellow.

Anyway, here he is as a black silhouette.

And here he is when everything around is blue, which in the cutscene seems to make him greyish-white.

What a charming companion he was for the past few weeks! The Sadwick-Spot combination is something rather special.

If we had the Fiery Spot, than the Sub-Zero Spot would come in handy, too:

(Imagine all those giant icicles he could’ve made out of the waterfalls in Chapter 3 with a chilly breath)


In other news, I’ve completed the trumpet puzzle. The squeaky blackboard slipped my mind probably because there wasn’t any chalk left on it.

To solve the Asgil mystery once and for all, here’s a funny fan art:


I still think those are antennae or eyebrows. Smile

So, my overall verdict: 3.5/5
I think that’s slightly on the generous side too. Its place in the Daedelic catalogue, well it’s better than Deponia and Satinav but it’s not their best work. Like Deponia, the jokes are the centrepiece but they sometimes feel forced, with the exception of Spot. This could be a result of translating the German into English because I find this a problem with all Daedelic’s comedic games. The story is a nice idea but isn’t in depth enough and seems like a after-thought to the traditional structure, as if they expanded a 3 hour idea to 15 hours by adding more and more puzzles and locations. And I’ve commented how nothing much happens until the end. Another chapter is another locale to get through, which I recognise as routine Daedelic by now. Better games will introduce crucial characters, Glottis or Oscar, and make things happen. The puzzles I found stock-standard for 3rd person adventure, reasonably logical but nothing really clever. However the ending was really satisfying and graphics and music were excellent.
