A thoroughly enjoyable point and click adventure in the vein of The Dig, which transported me back to a time when purple tentacles were trying to take over the world. A classic sci-fi short horror story is given a new lease of life with The Third Wish, and the lore within it made me think that I could quite happily go back to Mr. and Mrs. White and have more adventures...or misadventures, with them.
Pros:
- Voice acting is superb
- World building and gorgeous visuals, taking you back to the days of Lucas Arts
- Twilight Zone/Outer Limits inspired feel
Cons:
- The only critique I had was that the puzzle elements felt a little directionless (i.e. the main character could have stated once he found the gnawed cable that there should be some couplings around that he could use) and dirt mounds didn't appear until after he had fixed the cable. But I guess that's the point and click nature of puzzles!
