Launch Window“A deep bow to the point-and-click ancestors like Monkey Island. Foolish Mortals is a delightful and beautiful modern point-and-click game that unfortunately doesn't have the same clever writing as its predecessors.”

Launch Window“Foolish Mortals does a good job of a lot of things, and once it gets going it offers a spooky good time for fans of adventure games. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel and I do wish its interface had a bit of an overhaul but fans of adventure titles will have an excellent time with it. This isn’t a game that’s going to win over anyone who doesn’t already love the genre though.”

Launch Window“Foolish Mortals is at its core a charming adventure, held back by a weaker script, an overlong running time, and an unbalanced art style. Even so, it offers plenty of reasons to like it.”

Launch Window“Foolish Mortals is a loving throwback to point-and-click Lucasarts games like Full Throttle, with quality voice acting and clever puzzles set in a richly designed, fictional Louisiana bayou. It’s a ton of well-designed fun, and stunningly well-polished for a game from apparent newcomer designers Inklingwood. With a cozy tone and a light supernatural style, it’s definitely a must-play for Tim Schaefer fans — or anyone who loves a good story.”

Launch Window“It may sound far-fetched, but Foolish Mortal leaves you with the taste of a great adventure, like the ones we used to play in the 90s and get excited about. Just like its "mentors" did.”
