60 of 192 · most liked firstThe Adventures of Bertram Fiddle - Episode 1 is a hilarious point and click game, where the player can enjoy bizarre characters, humorous scenes, and adorable cartoonish style. Pros: + The adorable cartoonish art design + Great animation + A lot of humorous scenes + Amazing voice acting + Full of memorable bizarre characters + Funny and relaxing gameplay + An excellent parody on Sherlock Holmes + A reasonable length of the game for the episodic game + Very accessible puzzles Cons:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, originally an iOS game for mobile phones. For this price to less playtime. But the 1.7 hrs playtime were funny.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bertram Fiddle is a point & click game with a good-looking, stylized, cartoony art style that immediately catches the eye. However, it doesn’t do anything special. I didn’t care for it, but you might. You control two quirky characters in a quirky Victorian London setting, trying to locate a murderer who stole something from you. Bertram kind of bumbles around, making quips at anything he finds, and eventually gets to his goal. The puzzles you solve along the way are shockingly easy, and nothing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(I've completed this game on just about every device/platform other than Steam, please ignore my playtime). A delightfully charming game, full of humour and fantastic animation. Highest recommendations!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a point and click on rails, it's very much akin to a walking simulator. There is no challenge, no puzzles, no adventure or anything of the sort. You will not be stumped on anything at any moment. The one redeeming feature is that it's quite short from start to finish.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here are the reasons I liked and didn't like the game: CONS 1: The humor in the game is all puns,sexual innuendo, british slang. At first I thought, okay I get, referential comedy and that was the whole game.... It was done in the worst way possible just shamelessly put in there. I only laughed once. 2: The Characters: They're written so poorly, I can't remember any character or personality traits of the main protagonist or supporting cast other than Sherlock holmes. I only remember…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a really fun game. It's short and easy point and click, with an interesting story and characters, funny humour, and easy puzzles. The animation is well done, there are some mini games that are easy but it doesn't really give you a heads up that they're there- they just start happening lol. I cant wait for the next episode, it looks like they funded it with kickstarter so it's been a while since, but it coming out soon. For the price point- you should get it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG this game was so cuuuute! The voice acting is amazing, the cartoony style is my favorite, the music is a nice addon and the humor is on point! It's so easy to solve you won't even need to "think" let alone a guide! The only con is that it ends pretty quickly:( P.S. Heading to play No.2 right away!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit on the short side, but a fun point & click adventure game all the same, with a distinctive style, and excellent sense of humor, and some genuinely fun puzzles. Definitely worth checking out if any of that appeals to you, particularly the fondness for point & clicks!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i've been looking for point and click games to play and this one is just meh. there's no way to see what you actually have to do, every new area is a new chapter and its just boring really. it had potential to be fun but it falls short on actual gameplay
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do recommend this game, but can only recommend this game at a sale price. I'm actually quite disappointing by it. It's interesting, but not particularly taxing on the brain, all the puzzles can be completed by just clicking on things and making obvious item combinations. I completed it in just over an hour, although I did use the fast walk between scenes, so I could have made it longer had I not. I was enjoying it, and was getting into it as it finished, but the idea of paying full price for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game in terms of dialogues and storyline, but not so good when it comes to puzzles, since they're of a non-existent difficulty. Still, I very much enjoyed playing it and the dialogues were effusively funny. Also, it ends with a cliffhanger. Overall, it's a great and amusing game! Till next time, don't forget to point & click!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an episodic game and the first episode barely has any content. More of a graphic novel than an adventure game. Developers tried way too hard to be funny. Not really much else to say about this game. It's barely a blip in a sea of failed adventure games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the idea of this game as I love these style of puzzle adventure games. However, I have to say that I was not remotely puzzled. I thought the solutions were obvious Whilst they tried to follow in the sucess of games such as the monkey island series, I thought this was short and simply far too easy! I would say that perhaps I am too used to these types of games but I JUST played Day of the Tentacle remastered and I was reduced to checking the walkthrough a couple of times when no amount of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I finished this game in a little over an hour, clicking on everything and doing all the puzzles blind. My feelings on Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode? It's okay. I found it very easy, one of the easiest point and click adventure games I've played and it's super short, fair enough considering it's episode 1 but still... was hoping for closer to 2 hours of gameplay. It's fairly funny, has its own flair and art style which is nice but I feel like I would've enjoyed watching someone play…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too eazy and way too short
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice art Poor story Not bad but not good jokes either I guess it is ok to get this game for a few bucks but I'd not do that. It is all over as soon as the game grows on you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very short, it ends in the middle without any closure.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short, very easy point and click game that's set in world that's a parody of the Victorian era, featuring a posey attitude and alleys that smell like a turd! Sadly, it was a mixed experience. Protagonist has no personality except that of your average satirical british gentleman, and his accomplice- Gaven, is not a big talker and his only skill and use is that he's... strong. Unlikeable characters, a big minus. Puzzles are also incredibly easy to figure out. Basically you click all the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pun filled, tongue in cheek, Sherlock Holmes parody that follows a fun, dark comedy, adult cartoony bout of characters. 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pros + good looking cartoony hand-drawn background graphics + game automatically shows hotspots. there are no more pixel huntings + two playable characters + easy and enjoyable puzzles. (if you don't want to challenge) there are a few inventory puzzles you can combine some items + diverse cast of cartoony and quirky characters + story is well-paced and intriguing and it looks like they inspired from Jack the Ripper murders + decent voice acting + nice background musics cons - game is short…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very short first chapter of a series of mobile ported cartoony point and click adventures. As with most mobile ported games the interface is of low quality, fixed resolution that can't be changed to fit your display, and generally low resolution assets, again to cater to mobile gamers. Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to screw over PC gamers. On Steam, this is $5 USD, on app stores, it's $3 USD. Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Totally not what I expected. Was hoping for something that makes you think but the game is clearly targeted to a dumber/younger audience. Every single thing is highlighted if you hover your mouse, animations seem like .gif files, entire game seems just like an image. Money maker (MOBILE) in a niche point and click adventure games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good art style, funny dialogues and a solid storyline. Would recommend to any adventure player. In Bertram Fiddle, you are a Victorian era gentleman who must solve some mysteries. Fortunately you have a good servant to help you. He is a Cyclops but who cares about a missing eye? As you know, it is hard to a good servant nowadays. Thumbs up for this short funny game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant wait for the next episode! Worth the price!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While playing episode 1 I did not feel I'd recommend it. The store-page calls it a "classic point and click adventure game" but it's so easy that a puzzle component is more or less absent. Not very classic. I then however played episode 2 (as realistically most anyone would) and that is in fact a bona fide classic point and click adventure game. With both episodes taken together genre-fans will find quite enough to like here.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The animation and voice acting were great, which was promising, but as a fan of point-and-click games, the puzzles were too straightforward for my liking. This was more of a short, click-through storyline really, which is fine, but not engaging enough as a game to want to play on to the next episode. Hard to give it a thumbs down though with animation this cute!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am giving this a positive review, but the game was not really for me. The voice acting was great, and there were numerous scenes to interact with. The puzzles were a bit too easy for someone who might regularly do point and click adventures. I was not very engaged in the story. However, for a younger or inexperienced audience, this game would be really good to start on.

unlabelledView post →Fun and entertaining short pnc! Great work on artwork, voices, story with many little details adding to it but keeping the gameplay simple enough. Story continues to part 2. Little hidden gem!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short but super entertaining, I loved it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very entertaining and stays in character. With famous characters and explorers, and puns just like you saw in the trailer. And to top of it, everything is voice acted and very well, indeed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Satisfying point-and-click adventure that's fun and actually funny.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A charming, silly, punny point&click detective game set in Victorian London.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have not finished this game yet, but after playing for a short while, I do enjoy it. The art style is funky and interesting, but I'd have to say that one of the strongest things that this game has going for it is the humor related to it. It is silly and somewhat unexpected, but I've found myself grinning after puns and wordplays are incorporated into the game. The voices of the characters are ridiculous and at times, somewhat annoying, but not enough to drive me away from playing. It is your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great humor and art style!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple, fun little game with an extremely charming aesthetic. It's a shame that this series seems to be dead because this first entry is good and showed potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little adventure game with good production values, hilarious writing that parodies Sherlock Holmes and the usual posh British gentlemanly and dirty London.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll keep it brief, like the game itself. A fun, witty point and click adventure/mystery game with puzzles that are intuitive and don't require a galaxy brain or going back to every scene to see if something has changed or combining objects in a way that doesn't make sense. For some it may be too simple, but it was perfect for me (I enjoy puzzles that MAKE SENSE, and I REALLY enjoy games where the next course of action is clearly broadcast and/or intuitive). The animation was a little…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Encountered a game-breaking bug that disabled my inventory. While the game had charm and I did want to complete it, I did not want to re-start my game and possibly encounter the same bug again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very witty and funny, good story line and is investing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though I'm not into comic adventure games, this game really is funny and made me laugh more than once. The characters are just crazy, and they often feels like Looney Tunes characters put inside a victorian setting. The gameplay is pretty linear and simple, but enjoyable. Splendid! I'm going to play episode 2 straight away!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this with friends in Discord (not multiplayer, to be clear, I just enjoy being heckled I suppose), and it was a fabulous game for people to watch and interact with in a group. The voice acting is funny and charming, and friends loved helping solve puzzles and making me click everything. Woefully short, but still absolutely worth the play on your own or with a gaggle of people who can laugh with you at the puns and hidden objects.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a silly but interesting game, and the puzzles were great! I really hope there will be a 3rd
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Classic point and click murder mystery based in Victorian London The praise: -original and professional art -excellent voice acting and dialogue -enjoyable puzzles -in whole: almost Monkey Island -tier The nag: -short (but luckily there's a sequel)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a short (1-2h) and fun game, but probably not for everyone. I enjoy point & click games and British humor, so I bought the series of this game assuming it fit right up my alley, which worked out well. At the moment I have less time for gaming, especially less time for consecutive hours of gaming and was looking for something in my library I could actually finish. So if you only have a few hours, are looking for a game you can satisfyingly play and beat in one sitting and fit the above…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice graphics however the game is short but I found it very difficult to beat so I took a look at a guide. Overall I think it's worth its price and I am getting part 2 very soon!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I generally enjoy point-and-click titles, but unfortunately cannot recommend this one. It feels noticeably empty as you can't click on many objects per scene, and you only ever pick up exact solutions for the very few puzzles you come across, meaning you don't hold more than two or three items at a time. It's also very linear, and tries hard to be funny while just not landing many punchlines. To the developer's credit, you can tell that a lot of care has gone into this game. The art is on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took easily 1 hour to finish, and the story continues in 2nd game? This is a rip off. DO NOT buy this game. PS: It contains NO puzzles, and the difficulty level is 0-3 age.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cheeky humor. great point and clicker!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what can i say but yawn it wasnt even good so boring glad i didnt pay a lot for it pennies and even that was too much for it very disapointed with it looked good but was not so boring but if you want to play it defo wait for it to be a lot cheaper or find it elsewhere cheap but dont bother i say i know i wont be buying the second episode after this one was such a let down sad realy because it could have been a good game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I highly recommend this game. The art work is great (reminds me of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends or The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack). :D It was pretty fun and not too difficult compared to other puzzle games. The downsides are that you have to purchase the second game to continue the story (instead of finishing the first game, and then making another separate mystery), and the game is quite short. I will probably be purchasing the second one though, as I would like to discover how…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A unique style in both humor and visuals made this an enjoyable experience for me. It is very easy and short, though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very odd short puzzle game. I don't think I', the type of person to get episode to but if you're a young kid and like these types of puzzles and puns then you'll like it a lot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was drawn to Bertram Fiddle Episode 1 due to the art style and am surprised what a charming little game it is- great atmosphere, weird noses, the wits of Brits and puns to die for! It was short, but a good romp of which I want to see more. And no nonsensical puzzles, yay! If you like games such as Monkey Island 3, pick this up. If not, whatever are you doing on this page?!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fairly standard point and click game for this age of them. The puzzles aren't too hard to find out, you can't die, and the protagonist is kind of a jerk. But everyone is either a jerk, crazy or both in this game, so it's not a big deal, and he's pretty humorous in his Victorian ways. Sadly the game's only around two hours long unless you get really stuck, and it ends on a cliffhanger. What's here is good though, and I've been meaning to check out the second episode to see if it builds on that.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Midcore and unique with To Be Continue screen Can be completed within 1 hour if you know what to do.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game did feel a bit short (took me around 1.5 hours, with a couple points where I was stuck longer than other more experienced point and click players may be) but this is only an "episode" and priced fairly for such a beautifully drawn and entertaining experience. I picked this up during a sale to test out the series and I will probably play through future installments! I would not say the game is challenging for a typical point and click player... but if you appreciate punny writing and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont be fooled by my playtime. Subtract 3 hours from it and that's how long this game was (I stopped playing when I first got the game because I was bored and only just recently decided to pick it up again and finally beat it in a new game). This game is a very simple game that is quick, but inevitably not very fun. When you make a game filled with only mediocre jokes and dated memes it makes the playthrough not so fun. Making "modern" references in a period game isn't meta, it just makes all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love point and click adventures, and was recommended this from Steam based on other point and click comedic adventure games I'd played. Played it in one sitting, and was so into the storyline that I just sat there blinking when it ended for a few moments. As soon as my shock subsided, and I came to myself again, I frantically searched the store for another episode, only to begin the waiting process for the second episode. I'm still frantically checking every few days to see if the game has…
