Adoo's Stinky Story

Author:B. Perry
Genres:Humor
Slice of life
Released:2003
Review:

The premise of this rather odd game is that you're a college student who has discovered your parents are planning to sell your beloved childhood home, and so to stop them you decide to make the house unsellable by setting off a massive stink bomb.

If you can accept that much, you probably won't have too many problems with the rest of the game, which continues along much the same lines. It's not particularly a stand-out: the puzzles are mostly fine but not that memorable, and there are some clunky aspects to the implementation: certain objects that ought to be treated as scenery aren't, for instance. There's some light harmless humor, though. If you're in exactly the right mood and not feeling too demanding, this might entertain you.

Rating: ***
