The Big Finale?
 
    

BASED ON DEMO

It is the finale, right? Cuz, you know, I thought the last one was! Still, I’m very happy that it wasn’t.

I have never been a huge fan of the Puppet Show series. I bought them and played and replayed them, but it was mostly the beauty of the artwork that appealed to me. Mechanical puppets never really took my fancy.

Until now. This game is even more beautiful than the others, but it is also more intriguing – and sympathetic.

We are here to help Felicia find her father the Puppet Master, who’s gone missing in suspicious circumstances, but Felicia is acting weird.

And others reported seeing an old woman who, when we get a glimpse of her, is ominously familiar. And to top it all off we’ve got one of those nasty spider puppets bullying people and breaking stuff. So begin our investigations.

Along the way we save a trapped cat, are confronted by a ferocious dog, and get our very own spider puppet. Not, I would normally have said, a very cuddly sort of sidekick. But this one (I named mine Timmy) has these beautiful sad eyes, so shiny they seem to have a tear glistening about to drop. It’s enough to make your eyes water!

Timmy helps you get to those things you can’t reach, like all good sidekicks do.

We have both list and silhouette "find one to find another" HOs, plenty of puzzles, some look tricky, and there’s plenty to do in each scene.

Plenty of lovely scenery, one of my favourite bits was the tram ride. I’m hoping that will be our preferred mode of transport for at least a while.

And I look forward to finding out what Felicia is really up to this time.

I Recommend This Game!

JTF--When the BF  CCC's was open,  we had a conversation about this.

All of us thought the previous one was the last.   esme  thought there was another one
they would churn out.

She was right...        We were wrong....  

Soo....ask esme if this is the last one.   She'll know.    

I remember that ERS was in the CCC at the time, and they said (if I remember correctly) that this was the end of the story of Felicia and her family, BUT not the end of the series!

Caw! I don't think I could stand another PuppetShow, even if Felicia isn't in it. On the other hand, I do like those spider puppets. But why do all the various games with 'puppets' in them call them 'puppets'. They're robots! Puppets have strings! Drives me batty. I like puppets, games centred on robots and other clunky stuff, nup!
