The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Cursed Kierunki

From the cute and spooky pages of The Inscrutable Doctor Baer graphic novel, named "...easily one of the best graphic novels of [2024] ⭐," by School Library Journal! In this co-op game you will unravel mysteries of creatures and lands both familiar and new to readers.

Explore the Crags of Everlasting Ice and uncover the tragic history of its fallen civilization. Beware the suffocating stillness of the Gray Marshes and Gray Swamp--there are lurking menaces hidden in the silence. Plumb the depths of the Ocean of Monsters and unlock the puzzle of the baleful beings in the deep. But there's a darker place still. Among the razor-sharp stones of the Obsidian Caves you'll confront an ancient malevolence, the name of whom one hardly dares whisper.

Need a break? Return to Doctor Baer's home to chat with the cheerful spirits and creatures he's healed during his many adventures. They might have insights to help you on your journeys--and they'll have some healing cups of tea.

Talk or fight

Each zone has creatures and environments Doctor Baer and the Wisps can face with full force attacks, clever conversation, and insightful item puzzles.

Here are just a few of the creatures you'll meet:

• The adorable Mummy Mice have a fierce bite. What cynical magics have turned them against you?

• The joyful Fire Skeletons have become ferocious beasts. How can you tame their fiames?

• Living Mulches, ravenous piles of sentient rot, will try to devour you. Do you stand your ground and fight, or is there another way to sate their hunger?

These hints will not only help you complete the game, but will provide a rich exploration of the fantasy world of Doctor Baer.
