24 of 24 · most liked firstThe Mystery of the Druids yes, we've all seen the cover, but Druids is memorable to me as an adventure game where the protagonist takes the expectations of the character to their logical extreme. completely devoid of morals, yet neither a villain or an anti-hero: halligan is just an asshole.

unlabelledView post →Man, they don’t make games like The Mystery of the Druids anymore. Mostly because you shouldn’t make games like The Mystery of the Druids in the first place. How the fuck did this game ever get made?
unlabelledView post →When Stig summoned the Wise Ones in the latest episode of Hunter: The Parenting, the one on right itched my mind like I had seen it somewhere before. Then it hit me that it looks like the dude from the Mystery of the Druids game! So it's either a reference or an Easter egg!
unlabelledView post →The Mystery of the Druids ($1.99) - yes, we've all had a giggle at the cover, but actually playing this game will have you bowled in totally shocked laughter. detective Brent Halligan is neither hero nor anti-hero, as that would require thinking about his actions at all. www.gog.com/en/game/the_...
unlabelledView post →Game 1: The Mystery of the Druids. Not a good adventure game at all, but a bit like a car crash you can't look away from. The protagonist is immoral to a startling degree and the puzzles are pretty dire. But the unhinged nature of this game kept me surprisingly entertained.
unlabelledView post →Holy crap I just realized that infamously bad adventure game The Mystery of the Druids cribs from The Dagger of Amon Ra! Both games have a kind of ridiculous adventure solution for getting into a closed museum that involves a homeless guy, but only Mystery of the Druids involves attempted homicide

unlabelledView post →I desperately want The Mystery of the Druids to be remastered It’s such a weird ass game it would really benefit from some control fixes and better graphics for the puzzle sections
unlabelledView post →Had to play half an hour of The Mystery of the Druids to get some footage and the edited Mandalore playthrough of that game is so burned into my memory that I was mad that the game doesn't actually have mariachi turtles in time playing throughout.
unlabelledView post →(If you're not familiar with The Mystery of the Druids, it really feels like it was written in response to the prompt "most adventure game protagonists are kleptomaniacs, but what if one was a sociopath?" I'm pretty sure it's the only adventure game where the "hero" ends the game as a cannibal)
unlabelledView post →Game 105 - The Mystery of the Druids: Oh dear. It really is quite bad 🤣 Enjoyable in the right setting (with friends taking the piss out of it) but otherwise definitely not worth your time, although penultimate action you take in the game might be the funniest thing in any game ever.

unlabelledView post →Our detective game selection recently has been a bit of a bust. The Mystery of the Druids was atrocious, albeit unintentionally funny at times. And now it turns out someone forgot to save my game in Sherlock Holmes. This evening, we'll dig into something I've been looking forward to for some time.
