Fans follow the Baudelaire orphans as their luck goes from awfully bad to
incredibly worse. Based on the popular book series and the movie starring Jim Carrey,
this treacherous tale allows players to experience the eccentric adventures of Violet,
Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. Gameplay combines the unique talents of all three orphans
to keep them one step ahead of their distant uncle, the evil Count Olaf, who'll stop
at nothing to get his greedy hands on their family fortune. The player can switch
between the three Baudelaire orphans throughout the game, playing as Violet the
inventor, Klaus the brave intellect, or as Sunny, the biting baby. Some missions are
designed to take advantage of a specific character's abilities. The orphans will
gather objects throughout the adventure to build ingenious inventions for solving
tricky puzzles or for fending off Olaf's creepy cohorts. Inventions exclusive to the
PC version include the Reptile Retriever, which helps the orphans trap reptiles in a
burlap bag, the Smasher, which is a spring-loaded kicking boot, and the Lever Yanker,
used to activate levers that are out of the orphans' reach. Violet will use her
Stable Stilts to maneuver through toxic goop, Klaus will use his Grappling Hook to
reach higher heights, and the orphans will take turns using the Lobber and other
inventions to stun enemies and escape dangerous situations. Defeat Count Olaf and
his wicked henchmen who assume many disguises in their never-ending pursuit of the
Baudelaire orphans and their family fortune. Players will engage in over 25
different missions based on the adventures from the movie and the first three books;
exploring Count Olaf's mysterious mansion, navigating Uncle Monty's intricate hedge
maze and racing from Aunt Josephine's rickety house before it plummets into Lake
Lachrymose. |
