Help Lucas MacGuffin (magician turned thief turned werewolf) sneak and smash his way through this fiendishly addictive comedy-puzzle-adventure for PC and Mac. Winner of the Freeplay Award for Best Game Writing! With hilarious dialogue, charming hand-drawn art and huge replay value, it's perfect for seasoned adventurers and casual gamers alike. When fugitive magician Lucas MacGuffin bungles a museum robbery, he finds himself magically bound to an ancient amulet and up against a city in full high-tech security lockdown. Suddenly dealing with the worst body hair problems he's ever had. As a human, Lucas is agile and cunning. Wolf Lucas would rather smash anything in his way. Only by transforming between the two forms and cleverly utilising both sets of skills will he stand any chance of lifting his curse. And with the city's most powerful billionaire after his blood, a jaded Private Investigator on his (now-literal) tail and the rent long overdue, he'll need every ounce of ingenuity he manage. Along the way he'll need to befriend a hilarious cast of characters, convince the city its most beloved citizen is a terrifying criminal mastermind, and hardest of all, teach his daughter it isn't funny to fill the fridge with dog food.

Top notch puzzle game

MacGuffin's Curse is kind of an abomination. It's an excellent puzzle game mixed with a nice adventure. Unfortunately, these two kind of get in eachother's way. If you want to play puzzles, a menu where you could select levels would be better. If you want to play through the story, you might end up skipping puzzles like me because there's so many of them (over 150!).

I would strongly recommend the game to anyone who enjoys excellent object-based puzzles (i.e. switches and boxes). Some puzzles are a bit too easy but most of them are great. I've only encountered a single puzzle that i hated because it was just tedious instead of clever.

If you're looking for an adventure and aren't really into puzzles, this might not be your thing. There's a nice story with fun characters, but the puzzles kind of "get in the way". You can skip them through a short conversation, but that gets somewhat annoying after a while.

It's a great game, but you should know what you're getting into.
