Description

Will Phail is a fifteen-year-old like many others: lazy, spoiled, and phlegmatic. But he has one thing that others lack: he's useless! 

Experience Will's drama in this short adventure as he searches for his favorite T-shirt so he can hang out with his friends trying to defend his already compromised reputation. 

Dodge lazy grandparents, mischievous rats, and carnivorous plants, and find the courage to descend into the frightening basement, where powers beyond understanding lurk, waiting to be awakened! 
 

  • A dive into the golden age of point-and-click adventures 
  • A state-of-the-art, ultramodern 9-verbs interface, to put you in total control 
  • The humor of the great classics, with jokes conceived for smart people, like YOU who have decided to play this game! 
  • Amazing 3D graphics: Dimple, Dlat, and Dapproximate 
  • Awesome MT-32 music and 22KHz sound effects that will blow your mind 
  • Challenging and merciless puzzles that will force you to rack your brains!

The Game


Powers in the Basement is a 5/6 hours long point-and-click adventure game, deliberately reminiscent of the great classics from the 80s / 90s, with a specific sweet spot for LucasArts production. 

It's a witty and sometimes surreal game, with clean humor, also suitable for children, set in a pseudo-fantasy world in which the medieval fairytale is punctuated by anachronisms, elements of modernity, and absurd references to nerd pop culture. 
It's a challenging game made for puzzle lovers, those who like to have a-ha moments in the shower or while cooking, but we did our best to make it a fair and enjoyable experience for casual gamers as well.

If you are a longtime fan of this genre, well... we hope we can bring you back to your childhood for a while.
