If you like your horror with an extra blend of humor, then you might enjoy the beutiful hand drawn game The Wardrobe, which is now available on Steam.
Developed by C.I.N.I.C. Games and inspired by all the classic point & click adventures of the ’90s, you play as a teenage boy named Skinny, who suffers a tragic allergic reaction when he eats a plum whilst on a picnic. Five years after his death, Skinny (who now lives up his his name, being a literal skeleton), returns from the grave on a mission to rescue his best friend Ronald.
In addition to the great visuals, The Wardrobe also features top notch voice acting and a killer soundtrack, so this is definitely an adventure that hits the funny bone.
Synopsis:
It all happened five years ago, during a picnic arranged by Ronald and his best friend Skinny.
Things were going well, until Ronald pulled out two very tiny plums from his basket, one for Skinny and one for him. Not knowing about his deadly allergy to plums, Skinny didn’t think twice about eating it, and immediately went into anaphylactic shock which caused his sudden death. Ronald ran off, terrified.
When he woke up, Skinny discovered that he had become a skeleton and been sentenced to live in Ronald’s bedroom wardrobe forever. Since then, Skinny has watched over Ronald constantly, without his knowledge… but now things are going to change! To save his best friend’s soul from eternal damnation, Skinny will be forced to reveal himself and make Ronald admit his ‘crime’. Not a simple challenge at all!

Four types of actions for each hotspot (Look, Pick up, Use, and Talk) and dialogues with multiple choices (and full of funny answers to try)!
Play as Skinny, a teen-skeleton with an impertinent attitude and a sparkling wit, willing to do anything to save his best friend’s soul from eternal damnation!
