Half Mandrill, Half Mandela

I just wrote about the cute, and also shockingly melancholy, Machinarium, which I finished playing last night. In it…

You get to flood a room, electrocute a (robot) cat, break out of prison, play arcade games, solve bizarre puzzles, and see a Jewish robot, for some reason.

It was also my first try at that strangely returning genre, the point-and-click adventure game.
