Cantaloop: Book 1 – Breaking into Prison (2020) is a classic point-and-click adventure, rebuilt in book form so you need no electronics. You talk to characters, combine items to solve puzzles and explore a quirky world, all by following references through the pages. You are Oz "Hook" Carpenter, a small-time criminal back from exile and hungry for revenge on the person who sent you away. Alone you stand no chance against the city's most powerful crook, so you need a team with very particular skills. First part of a trilogy, funny and puzzle-driven. Listed at around twelve hours, so it is an adventure for several evenings, for one or two players.

You want a quick game or a replayable one. It is a long, story-driven adventure rated for adults and teens, and you will not need it twice.

Vibe's take

Curious, jokey and absorbing. You poke at every conversation, ponder item combinations and enjoy the moment a puzzle opens up.
