Despite its few corner-cutting measures, however, Big Brain Wolf is an enjoyable puzzle-adventure that will surprise those who may be tempted to dismiss it as yet another generic casual title clamouring for your attention. It may not have a deep plot or even the production values that are to be expected of modern adventure games, but its low downloadable cost makes for very good value, providing hours of lighthearted fun, and at the end of it all what a big brain you'll have!
Frima Studio has announced the OSX release of their point-and-click adventure game Big Brain Wolf, now available for both PC and Mac users on Steam.
GDN writes: "Big Brain Wolf is a peculiar, yet charming, cartoon style, click and point, puzzle solving game. It's about a smart veggie eating wolf who just graduated from the brain academy with flying colors.
Back at his home sweet home, his "only" worries are to try to avoid meat despite his mother's well meant but odd ways of convincing him otherwise, and to survive the enigmas of his strange neighbourhood, while trying to rescue his mom, who apparently got framed for murder."
So, what you have is a game that lost 30% of its audience before they ever finished the tutorial. It's great that the puzzles were designed by neuroscientists, and music was done by a jazz quartet. Really, it is. But fun and playability were never included, which makes all of the above irrelevant. With so many excellent games out there that don't cost a dime, AVault doesn't see why anyone would pay $10 for Big Brain Wolf.
