2014 Game Completed Comics, #19 – Ben There, Dan That!

I have a huge backlog of adventure games to get to, certainly enough to pad out this year at least. I tackled Ben There, Dan That! recently, and it's a fun throwback to older LucusArts classics. Expect a lot of silly dialogue tree options and obscure puzzles, but the story of aliens trying to brainwash civilization via a match-three puzzle game is both cute and sadly still pretty relevant these days. I won't lie; I had to look up the solutions to at least three puzzles, but otherwise this is pretty straightforward stuff, a couple of hours long. Oh, and I do believe I have the sequel waiting in the wings.

But here's the comic...

I could not get through Ben There, Dan That! unfortunately. Did not like the writing and since I think I really don't like the gameplay of point-and-click games, I did not have much the play the game for.

Yeah, the writing's a bit on the nose, with maybe one too many dick jokes.
