Hey guys,
With the official release of Lord Winklebottom Investigates just around the corner, I thought now would be the perfect time to take a closer look at some of its defining gameplay elements.
In case you didnt know already, Lord Winklebottom Investigates is a whodunnit point and click with a twistor two. Players assume the role of Lord Winklebottom, a giraffe detective tasked with solving the mysterious murder of his childhood friend, Admiral Gilfrey.
There are hundreds of clickable elements scattered around the Isle of Barghest, serving all kinds of different uses and functions.
Throughout your journey, youll come across useful tools and objects that you can:
- Use at the right time and place to solve challenging puzzles. Theres no pixel hunting in Lord Winklebottom Investigates, which means players dont have to position their cursor perfectly to interact with chosen elements.
- Combine to create new items. Some puzzles require you to drag one object/tool in your inventory and drop it onto another.
- Share with suspects to unlock new interactions. Again, this is done by dragging items and dropping them where necessary.
Its all about timing and careful observation. Random clicking wont get you anywhere, so you need to pay close attention to everything that transpires on the island. You can access Winklebottoms journal with his notes at any time, but you can also keep your own notes as you learn more about the story.
Youre also free to roam around, and youll soon discover that new interactions with suspects become available as your knowledge grows. Exploration is encouraged, and if you want to crack the case, youll have to venture beyond the gates of Gilfreys manor.
The stakes are raised as you advance through the story and discover more clues. This change of pace is also reflected in the gameplayscenes change quicker, and your choices carry more weight.
Do you have what it takes to find Gilfreys killer?
