Hidden Gem: Whateverland

Although I usually love the idea of point-and-click games, I oftentimes end up pretty bored or craving more action, and no matter how good the story, it never seems to be enough to get me through the titles. This was true until I accompanied my wife on her journey to review the charming point-and-click adventure Whateverland.

As a fan of all spooky and Halloween things, the first thing that caught my attention was the Tim Burton-esque style of the title and the great (and rather quirky!) music... but what made me stay? Everything. Including the game's "flaws".

In Whateverland, you play as Vincent - a petty thief who attempts to steal from an old lady who turns out to be a very powerful witch named Beatrice. As punishment for what he did, she sends him off to this crazy world full of criminals, bad people, and "freaks". Once there, you'll begin your journey to summon her back in hopes of being able to return to reality once more. Throughout the game, you'll also be paired up with the deuteragonist, Nick a writer who helps you find all the pieces of the spell you need to get in contact with the witch.
