(Finished on another platform) Solid game that should be on your radar if you're a fan of point & click adventures

Surprisingly competent for a Pendulo game. It will crash and you can't set the sound for the intro videos outside of doing it in your operating system, which will cause it to crash as it does on every alt-tab, but otherwise the application program functions, which is good for a Pendulo game. The story is..original, "least sexist Spanish writer" kind of original. I haven't played it in English, it might be really...

Ergh.. the game was OKAY for a short time, wasn't a massive fan of the comedy, but the voice acting was pretty good. However, I stopped playing it for a few weeks, came back and it just doesn't load and I basically don't care enough to way to try and fix it. So, there we go.

This game has something wrong with it. When I switch between apps, only this game had problems like the mouse doesn't work. And the game crashed and I lost over an hour of playing, so I'm not going to repeat all that. So I have a game I paid for but will not play, and it's the game's fault. Pendulo/Focus is not it.

Pretty decent game overall, with the exception of the "get the band to play the tango", which is obtuse and certifiably insane thanks to the randomness and strict timing. (Hit drums, count to eight, hit violin, count to seven, hit bass, count to six, hit piano) It was made worse due to a bug where my cursor would consistently disappear after activating the second instrument, so impossible to trigger the 3rd...
