## Description

After a mysterious explosion over Victorian London, Cummerbund Bandersnatch visits his uncle to discover he's been experimenting with a new formula. Expect an hour of mystery, dark humor, and briskly absurd jokes.

Hair of the Dog draws heavily from the classic 90s point-and-click era, with retro pixel-art, fully voiced English narration, and a real-time mode where scenes shift with the hour. Move between scenes with a double-click, hold space to peek hotspots, and enjoy witty retorts as you explore a richly drawn city.

## Review summary

Hair of the Dog is a charming, well-crafted point-and-click with clever puzzles, witty dialogue, and a distinctive Victorian-inspired vibe. Reviewers praise its tight, ad-free length, strong story and visuals, and nostalgic feel. The main recurring complaint is its short length, with many wishing for more chapters or a longer game. Puzzles can be challenging or not always obvious, and some players seek updates or a continuation of the narrative. Overall, a high-quality, delightful teaser many hope to see expanded.
