The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles (PC)

Prequel to the first game; a spin-off of sorts. This one is about the latter 2 of the characters introduced in the first game and explores more of their shenanigans which was honestly needed. Their presence in the third act felt so weird to the narrative of the story. Thought it feels like this spin-off was originally part of the game in some way but taken out to remove the already bloated mess of the original.

It is slightly better than the first game but only slightly. It's still lame in its attempts at humor, has even more obtuse puzzling and pixel hunting, buuuuuut it's only half as long as the previous and it has a more sensible (not so serious) plot that's just right for a guybrush clone like Nathaniel Bonnet. It also doesn't outstay its welcome with its references and dialog taking forever.
