Dodge lazy grandparents, mischievous rats, and carnivorous plants, talking animals, homeworks!
Find the courage to descend into the frightening basement, where powers beyond understanding lurk, waiting to be awakened!
Powers in the Basement (PitB for short) is a 5-6 hours long point-and-click adventure game, deliberately reminiscent of the great classics from the 80s / 90s, with a specific sweet spot for LucasArts productions.
It's a witty and sometimes surreal game, with clean humour, also suitable for children, set in a pseudo-fantasy world in which the medieval fairytale is punctuated by anachronisms, elements of modernity, and absurd references to nerd pop culture.
You will meet funny characters, face bizarre situations, solve challenging puzzles, and enjoy some hopefully rewarding wild goose chases.
Powers in the Basement can be played in English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and Brazilian Pt.
“Great game, really fun and addictive! It gets that old school puzzle design perfectly, reminded me of Simon the Sorcerer a lot”
“This game is killing-funny, I'm laughing all the time! There's so much to read, if you want to, and so many details. Never boring.”
“Loving the game, feels very crisp and fun... but damn is it HARD!”
