Note: As of 2021, the final version of the Knobbly Crook has been updated on all relevant sites (including Steam). It features many walkthrough break fixes, logic revisions, and a slightly longer ending. I’ll be transitioning this blog over to my new game, so this will likely be the last Knobbly Crook post as I move into the Something Seeps era.
Finally, the full (free) misadventure is here and available to download at https://gamejolt.com/games/TheKnobblyCrook/59177
You may have played Episode I: The Horse You Sailed In On before, but now you can experience the full story from an upgraded version Episode I, Episode II, and Episode III all in one game.
Description: Enter the surreal, disturbing, and ridiculous world of the Knobbly Crook in this old-school point and click adventure. O’Sirus the Snip is a simple paper farmer driven to epic adventure by a spooky face with a spookier voice. He will ultimately seek to become a Knobbcrookian royal guard–a Guffaloon. Stories of their heroic battles against the fearsome Bogold empire echo throughout the Crook. Unfortunately, they’re not currently recruiting simple paper farmers. He’s going to have to use every dirty trick in his book to cheat his way to the top and that means YOU will need to understand the key elements of the Knobbly Crook – Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Creatures of stone crush the metallic Knobbcrookians. The Knobbcrookians herd and farm paper animals. Fearsome stone giants fear tiny paper animals.
Join O’Sirus as he’s on trial for all the crimes the two of you have not yet committed. Retell his nonsensical story as his journey begins, finding himself a stowaway on a ship that is half horse, half boat, and half whale. Every moment that passes takes you further from your goal–the Knobbly Crook. It’s up to you to torment the Drafthorse’s unsuspecting crew in an attempt to alter their course. And then your real quest–to find a quest–begins on the shores of the Knobbly Crook.
