It should also be noted that the game ends with a very annoying cliffhanger which makes the whole ordeal of getting the mucusade, a fuel that can power the wardrobe in which Simon arrives to bring him back home, a bit pointless. One only learns something about them in the beginning and at the end, but that’s about it. Only a few cut-scenes and the finale spice things up a bit, but the potential of telling a more interesting story isn’t fulfilled, as both Runt and Sordid mainly stay in the background. Young boy Runt accidentally resurrects evil sorcerer Sordid who wants to take revenge on Simon who finds himself transported back to the other dimension in a wardrobe.Īt first, it seems that the plot is more engaging with the introduction of Sordid’s helping hand, but it soon turns out to be just an excuse for Simon to meet illustrious characters and run from one strange situation into another, just as in the first game.

Note: The reason to revisit this classic game was because of my discussion with Later Levels’ editor Kim about the (mis)use of 3D in classic point-and-click games that were originally in 2D.
