About

Point-and-click adventure where you control three characters across different time periods to stop a mutant tentacle's world domination plot. Bernard, Hoagie, and Laverne get separated—one stuck in colonial America, another in a tentacle-ruled future, the third in the present. You swap between them, solving inventory puzzles that require passing objects through time via a porta-potty. Cartoon art style with hand-drawn backgrounds. Uses verb-based commands (push, pull, use) to interact with objects and NPCs. Puzzles often hinge on causing changes in one era that ripple into another—plant a tree in 1776, climb it in the present. Full voice acting for all dialogue. Humor leans absurdist: you'll disguise a human as a tentacle using a fake mustache and help George Washington cheat on his dentures. No fail states or dead ends, so you can experiment freely.
