Game Overview
Tundel is a town where bad roads, baffling citizens, and a UFO-hiding mayor turn a simple reporting assignment into an absurd comic mystery. You play a journalist sent by a major magazine to investigate an unexplained incident, only to find that reaching City Hall requires favors, guesswork, and a tolerance for nonsense. The tone is broad, mischievous, and deliberately ridiculous rather than sinister, with every encounter pushing the investigation further off course. City Of Fools treats its conspiracy as an excuse for a sprawling cartoon adventure full of eccentric locals and deadpan humor.
Most of the play revolves around searching densely packed scenes, collecting useful objects, remembering addresses and street names, and working out which resident can help you progress. Citizens hand out strange errands in exchange for clues or rewards, creating a chain of puzzles that gradually opens new parts of the city and moves you closer to the mayor. Hidden-object sequences break up the adventure, while ten mini-games add different challenges beyond simply clicking through conversations and inventories. The game’s nonlinear structure gives players room to tackle leads in different orders, although its deliberately confusing city layout rewards careful note-taking and patience.
Its sheer scale is the standout feature: roughly 500 locations make Tundel feel less like a compact puzzle box and more like a bizarre urban maze with a joke around every corner. Rather than aiming for the polished cinematic drama of modern adventure games, it embraces the old-school hidden-object quest format, emphasizing screen-by-screen exploration, odd item combinations, and comic detours. Expert mode stretches the experience considerably for players who enjoy thoroughly combing environments and solving without much hand-holding. Fans of casual point-and-click mysteries, especially those who like the humor of surreal adventure games over serious detective work, are the best fit.
