About

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

The Idiot's Tale is Megalithic Mainframe's brand-new point-and-click adventure game, featuring an old-school experience with a truly warped sense of humor.
Storyline

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.
