    "There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life." - Frank Zappa Well... Demetrios is COWCAT games' first project and an adventure game that I'm sincerely on the fence with. There is a truckload of good and bad about it, just within the boundaries of a perfect balance. Considering it is the first ever game of the developer, I think congratulations are in order. Aside the questionable humor, game dynamic is more than decent for an adventure game. It all…

    Very much a mixed bag for me. Pros: - Nice graphics - Good production (meaning i didn't encounter typos or bugs) - Fun puzzles, challenging but not frustrating or ridiculously counter-intuitive. - Good length Cons: - Seemed to drag on towards the middle for me. (after the first flight) - Odd pacing/execution at some points. ie: hey rando neighbor i just suddenly found out the protag actually cares about let's go to another continent with your daughter and later let's go to Germany for five…

    I was going into this game hoping that it wasn’t just going to be a “Hector” type game that swapped out all those sexual jokes for toilet humour and I am glad to say it wasn’t like that at all (sorry Hector lovers that game was so not for me). Although the first chapter has some toilet humour and did slightly dominate plot and gameplay as the game progresses it mostly evens out and becomes a surprisingly really good, well rounded game in gameplay, plot and even humour. It also is a good…

    A classic point&click game which gave me a good laugh. I enjoyed reading the whole adventure and I actually liked the fact that you can choose if you want those 'jokes' to be dirty or tone it down to none at all, this made the game family friendly. The main character Bjorn Thonen is exactly how the developer described him, a slob and an idiot in a way that makes you laugh at his conversations and actions. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1142883146 I know some of the…

    - Re "cynical": I still don't know why the subttile. The only thing I could think of is the developers being cynical about their own view of adventure games. - I think, having played those really old adventure games like Space Quest and Monkey Island and so on that adventures need to have humour. This game does not. - All characters are equally unlikable and as cliché as characters can be (sexist dude, dumb blonde, spoiled brat, dirty arab merchant, etc). Perhaps that counts as humour in…

    Edgelord point & click adventure. Funny enough in the beginning, though the characters are ugly and annoying, but the stereotypes, sexism and thinly veiled racism really got too much for me. Seriously, people are outraged at the fart noises but not at that stuff? I didn't even decide to stop playing because I was "offended", I just took a break almost two years ago and could never be bothered to come back to it. That probably says something about how interesting it was, too. If you want a…

    Demitrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure is proof that point-and-click adventures can still be fun. Fans of the Monkey Island, King's Quest, Roger Wilco, and Sam & Max series will find a welcome trove of puzzles and sarcasm embedded in farcical narrative that might even make you laugh out loud. The mechanics show tremendous improvement over 90's era games in the genre, such that intuition is usually enough to explore each handcrafted scene. Navigation through the world is instantaneous, omitting…

    What it is A relatively long (for the genre) 'adventure' game which describes itself as like Broken Sword, but is probably more like a cross between a hidden object game and a visual novel. As a lover of classic point and clicks I was excited to play this, and although it wasn't terrible, it didn't live up to my expectations, mainly due to lack-lustre, one-dimensional characterisations and sub-par execution. The Good Stuff + A decent length for the money + Art style isn't bad + Story is OK,…

    Feels very amateur, which is to be expected since it was mostly made by one person. Shows some good design decisions as well as some moments of meta-humour and fourth-wall poking to contrast a lot of childish, scatalogical or lost-in-translation humour. Try the demo first (featuring the entire first chapter) before considering a purchase. UPDATE (03/10/2016): Apparently the game has been updated with an optional 'toilet humour filter', a new music track for the Nogo area and various other…

    A mostly straight-forward point-and-click with a few out-of-the-box puzzles. There are many things to click on, maybe too many. In the end, though, that is probably why I spent so much time here.

    I probably would have enjoyed the game more but for the appalling child. Humour could only be described as sad - and I'm not actually talking about the toilet 'jokes' but the rest of the sorry tale. As a point and click game it had some decent puzzles and can be best described as a fifth rate Broken Sword, bless it's little soul, it did its best. But that child - please rewrite the game and allow me to handcuff her, put her in a suitcase and throw her out of a plane in mid flight. Ican only…

    The precise genre of this game is difficult to nail down. Is it a Point & Click? A hidden object game? A visual novel? Most likely a little bit of all the above.

    Don't let the play time fool you, I've finished the game in offline mode. Demetrios is a game that looks like a bunch of fart jokes at first but actualy proves to be more than that. Sure, there's a lot of toilet humor and if you hate it, you probably won't enjoy yourself. And there is a LOT of jokes everywhere. You literaly can't go 5 minutes as Bjorn without doing something stupid, but this gives the game a certain sort of charm. I found Bjorn to be extremely charismatic and you can't help…

Not too difficult puzzles. Wholeheartly recommended.

    Toilet humor-adjustable fun point and click. It’s silly and oftentimes gross, but ultimately will brighten your day with the crazy adventure of a total doofus for an MC. Bright comic-book style graphics plays nicely into this light-hearted p’n’c. Bjorn has a funny tidbit for every little thing you’ll see on the screen (including a different one for every cookie you will be enticed to collect – which is impressive as there are A LOT), and you’d you want to click on loads of stuff just to hear…

But once I gave this game a chance and got to know it a little better, it turned out to be quite charming, funny, creative and smart. And as expected, its appearance grew on me pretty fast.

    Finished it now after 10 hours and am quite satisfied :-D It's very polished (I have encountered no bugs or crashes), the story is entertaining, the puzzles not to hard, there are some nice minigames - one can see that there was much love put into this game. Only the jokes/the dialogues got a bit enervating over the time, especially towards the end it became very disgusting - too much pissing, pooping, farting and vomiting ;-) But besides that it was fun and kept me interested the whole time :D

    This game might be actually called an adventure, but "jokes" and "puns" used here MUST never be called cynical - neither ironical, nor sarcastic to make it even more clear. 90% of the "funny stuff" you get confronted with looks like a quite silly 14-year old guy has written the script and the dialogues: Jokes about excrements, genitals, and similar things dominate the game, the story is infconsistent and the characters do not have any kind of depth.

    One of the rare classical (mechanical-wise) adventure games that doesn't put on too serious a face. It's a really big adventure with good dialog and inventory puzzles, colorful characters - and good humor. Yes, sometimes it's toilet humor (it's quite good, but you can turn it off), but there's also fine situational comedy and satire. And it feels fresh to play as a cynical slob, art dealer (yeah, right) Bjorn Thonen and other somewhat unpleasant but alive-feeling folks.

This can be played in a couple of days (one day if you really wanted to). If you have the sense of humor of a junior high boy, the toilet humor will NOT be lost on you (it definitely wasn't lost on me). If you happen not to have that sense of humor, you have the option to turn off the toilet humor. Nearly all of the puzzles were…

    The humor is a bit (okay, way too) much for someone not into toilet humor, but that can be toned down or turned off completely via a setting. The puzzles aren't tedious and the sprinkled in minigames are a fun change of pace. Also a linux port and the game is really well suited for achievement hunters, after completing the game once you can skip dialog and jump to certain chapters where you might've missed cookies or game overs. The cookie system is also really good if you come back to the game…

I can see there was plenty of work put into it. Look every dialogue, match items, you'll find hillarious dialogues. I also love the way some matters are criticised. EVEN THE PLAYER gets some.

    There are a lot of supposedly comedic point and click adventure games, but most of them aren't funny, and they tend to just get increasingly annoying in making you listen to lots and lots of failed, badly voice acted attempts at humor. The incredibly unfunny Deponia games are some of the most glaring examples of this, and I was afraid from its description that Demetrios was going to be similar in style to Deponia. Instead Demetrios is a rare exception in being legitimately funny pretty much…

    This game feels like the yellow shirt you got in the discount bin which you kinda wanted, wouldn't die without, but wouldn't pay too much for. It's a for-the-luls type of game that is a good way to pass a couple hours, but replayability is almost nil for me. I didn't hate the game but I didn't enjoy it THAT much either. Humour not really to my style, toilet humour is just... eh. Overall ok game but I would have rather spent my money on other point and clicks.

It's clearly visible that they put a lot of effort into it. I have to give this game a positive review. It's good. Some of the jokes are quite painfully easy to make.

    The game has a georgeous look and feel to it, nicely done menus/UI. The story is a bit meh, but better than expected. Will tip my hat to the auto save, hint system, and painless death sequences. Almost has the quality of a triple A PnC Adventure. I had my reservations about the toilet humor, but so far its been decent enough to get a few laughs out of me. My only complain is the lack of voice acting, really wish the game had it.

Gladly I can say that I ended up enjoying this game so much, that I actually re-played to find all cookies and unlock all game endings and achievements. Yes there is toilet humor and quite a lot of it. But for me it did not get in the way of following the story , and it made me actually giggle quite often.

One good addition they have made is the in-game hints system a la professor layton. There are small cookies hidden throughout the game that can be used to get hints if you are very stuck, which goes a long way to solving the often annoying point-and-click issue of just not getting a particular puzzle, without having to outright cheat. + The…

    I actually liked it, played like 12-13 hours non-stop :) weird humour - reminded me of Randal's Monday.

    I felt the game was well made as I'm a big fan of point and click. I wouldn't say it's the best game out there, but the level of toilet humor was enough on the main character to make me chuckle such as it was in games like Deponia and Randall's Monday. The cookie system was helpful and made it more fun I felt with all the different ways to kill off your character. After two playthroughs I was able to get all the achievements.

    https://youtu.be/vMyyUCcXrsg This point and click adventure is pretty funny. I enjoyed the adult humor in it, as well as the mystery that we were trying to solve. There was a variety of choice in each chapter. Chapter 2 and onwards have a lot of different places to choose from, mini games to spend time at, and fun things to collect. I also like how the developer made each scene "where's waldo"-esque game but with cookies that you could then use for clues.

    Well overall user reviews should keep this short and simple; Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure is first person point & click adventure, altough it has beautiful drawn graphic and very challenging puzzles, game is lacking of music variety. The interesting story packed with tons of humor is quickly sucking you in to the game, however it may not be very beginner friendly, it may need you some time to figure out all basics. Overall; I'm definitely recommending this game to anyone who like…
