Hi everyone, These past few weeks have been very busy, but Lord Winklebottom is no stranger to a packed schedule. As we move closer to release, I thought itd be fun to explore some of the inspirations behind the game in a little more detail. There are definitely similarities between Lord Winklebottom and Sherlock Holmes. They share a keen eye for suspicious activity, sticking their neck in where its not always wanted!. Like every good detective, Lord Winklebottom also has his own eccentricities, a bit of a dandy with his top hat, pipe, and monocle; he's a bit old-fashioned for the times he lives in. The figure of Dr. Frumple was inspired, of course, by Dr. Watson, Holmes loyal sidekick. In our case, Dr. Frumple resembles the less-than-brilliant, perhaps slightly bumbling version of Dr. Watson as portrayed by Nigel Bruce in the late 30s and early 40s. Thats no sleight on Dr. Frumple, however! He deserves just as much credit as Lord Winklebottom, something which he is only too quick to remind you of. The games mysterious plot also draws inspiration from Agatha Christies well-known classics. Players feel vulnerable and isolated on the remote Isle of Barghest, knowing that the killer must be one of the characters theyve interacted with along their journey. Theyre racing against the clock to track down this foe and solve the mystery of the Admirals death. While Lord Winklebottoms adventure comes with plenty of intrigue, thrill, and excitement, the game doesnt take itself too seriously. The comedic undertone that permeates the story might remind you of the Jeeves and Wooster stories by P.G. Wodehouse, which were first published all the way back in 1915. Other inspirations include old British comedies, such as What a Carve Up and The House in Nightmare Park. I dont want to give too much away before the game is out, so Ill stop here! As far as gameplay is concerned, Lord Winklebottom Investigates streamlined point-and-click system pays homage to legendary graphic adventure games of the 90s, such as The Secret of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. With their intuitive gameplay, point-and-click games allow players to solve crucial puzzles while being fully immersed in the story. Stay tuned for more exclusive insights into the world of Lord Winklebottom Investigates! All the best, Charlotte
