A comedy cosmic horror adventure made in Transylvania.
Darkham, with its crooked gambrel roofs, dark alleys, and a past shrouded in secrecy, never really was a welcoming place, but nowadays? Kooky cults are popping up everywhere, and that most evil book, the Necronomicon, is spoken of in trembling whispers once more.
Detective Don R. Ketype is on the case to retrieve the mysterious evil tome, but unsuspecting librarian Buzz Kerwan stumbles upon it and accidentally transforms his cat, Kitteh, into a walking, talking abomination. Being humanized? Quite a downgrade.
Gibbous is a comedy cosmic horror game - a modern adventure that is classically inspired, features gorgeous HD art, detailed traditional animation, and a lengthy story that will see the three protagonists travel around the world and deal with abominations both cosmic and human-made, voodoo, and Things That Should Not Be. From Lovecraft Country to Transylvania, set off on a quest to get a very cynical cat to stop talking.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
A classic yet modern point and click adventure game with many hommages to Monkey island series.
Beautifully drawn and atmospheric, with quirky characters and complex story.
Hope they make a sequel soon.
Art is great, music is great and the adventure is quite easy, I only got stuck once and it was because I wasn't reading with attention. There are some things that made the game a little tedious:
-you have a talking cat, but half of the times you click the cat to interact with an object, Buzz says something like "she is not interested" or she says "you do this"
-you can click on every object several times to get different information, but you only get different useless comentaries, and there was a moment when I decided the first impression was enough and that I didn't care about the cat (because, you know "she isn't in to this" "I think she is not interested") because I wasn't able to advance in the story if I had to click everything three or four times
-the cat is not a protagonist, is more like sidekick that, eventually, helps you
Being said all of that, the game is not bad, I just expected another thing. If you want to buy it to play a cthulhu adventure with the cat, that doesn't happen, but yes, there is a talking cat and you play a lovecraftian story.
After playing and finishing it in 6 hours, I think I should write a review. If I had known this, I wouldn't have bought it. Hope it helps someone.
Pros:
- Artstyle
- Voice acting
Cons:
- Boring story
- Too much irrelevant dialogue
- Irrelevant features (Using cat with hotspots for example...)
- Bugs
- Some VERY slow animations
Overall this game is pretty but boring and absolutely not memorable. There are a lot of better adventures out there: Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Deponia...
This is the second worst Point & Click adventure I have ever played. The worst one was "Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1)". Don't buy that one either.
I found the game a bit boring, unfortunately. I was glad when I got through it. The puzzles are all extremely simple except for one, which was extremely difficult.
The graphics are nice, the controls simple. Voice acting is good. But somehow the spark didn't fly.
Gibbous is a fun, well-written game with excellent voice acting. The puzzles are logical and straight forward. There are a lot of puns and referrences for us geeks. The game intends and succeeds in being a homage to the classic Lucas Arts adventures games of old. If you are a fan of point and click adventure games, you owe yourself a favor and purchase the game.
The only downside is the ending as the story seems unfinished - part one of a two part game. (Waiting for a Gibbous 2).
With the exception of one or two lines not being voiced, or the voice being skipped, the game ran without any issues.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
