I grew up playing a lot of the old PC ROM point-and-click games in the 90s and 00s and this very much reminded me of those but obviously with a much more grown-up comedic spin to something like Freddi Fish haha. There is humour here that will be lost on people who are not or don't live in the UK but the popular culture references should get a chuckle or two out of you regardless. But if you've ever wondered what the British countryside is, it's a lot more this and a lot less Downton Abbey and Coronation Street. The controls are very rudimentary. You can play through the entire game using your mouse only with the odd keyboard prompt there to help should you wish to use them. The combat is setup in a very neat way but ultimately none of the fights require too much strategic thinking. Who knows, maybe the devs are planning on making the battles a little more difficult in the later episodes but not once did I come close to death, not even in the last couple of battles.

About This Game
Our hero Terry is enjoying life in God’s own county, Yorkshire, until he makes a shocking discovery. His quaint English village has been invaded by... ALIENS. Terry, the local detective arrives at his favourite pub only to learn that some of the local people have been taken over by shape-shifting aliens. It is now up to Terry to investigate the locals and find the imposters among them. With his quick wit, skills and a bunch of sarcasm can Terry uncover the identities of all the aliens hiding among the village population before his knees give way!?
In this point and click adventure, the only way to deduce who is impersonating the locals is by interacting with different quirky characters and questioning them. You must try your best to outsmart them by using your local knowledge against them and the best way of doing that is by completing a bunch of fun and ridiculous puzzles like the point and click games of the past!
- Colourful and vibrant pixel art interpretation of English countryside.
- Interact with a variety of unusual and eccentric characters.
- Various challenging and peculiar puzzles to solve.
- Absurd British sense of humour.
- A lot of tuba music
- Mix of gameplay styles; point and click and turn based combat.

User Reviews
I liked this game so I am giving a positive vote, in hopes that we will be getting a Chapter 2 soon. Sure, it is a bit short and ends in a cliffhanger, (still the Steam discount price I got it was great for the game's size) but I liked the humor and the refereneces to other franchises. Also Terry is a memorable protgonist and exchanges some witty lines with the other characters in the game. It could use a bit of polishing (some graphic-collision issues, some typos here and there and one time where I had to repeat the solution of a puzzle to trigger the event to move to the next scene), but in general it is pretty good for an indie-game. Dear devs: keep the chapters coming and Cheers!
