About this game

The Idiot's Tale is an old-school point-and-click adventure game with a truly warped sense of humor.

You are Sir Jimothy Quest, a noble-but-ignorant knight-errant in the medieval kingdom of Dodotry. With your trusty sidekick Hoover the Owl, you'll venture across the land in search of legendary lost treasures. Along the way, you'll encounter fearsome monsters, classic fairy tale characters, corporate fast food, and more puzzles than you can shake your cursor at.

Over eighty environments to explore!
Dozens of brain-twisting puzzles! Guaranteed head-scratchers, hair-pullers, and nail-biters included!
Built-in hint system to help you beat the game without consulting the Internet!
Original jazz soundtrack for you to groove to as you cross the lands!

Can you find all three treasures and save the day? Or are you just gonna run away like an idiot?
