Things are looking grim for Harry the carrot. Plucked from his happy home in the earth, he was sent to a supermarket and is now trapped at the bottom of someone’s fridge. His fate as dinner seems inevitable, when a voice from a neighbouring compartment offers some hope. There is a way out of the fridge, and if Harry can enlist the aid of the other residents, he might just have a chance.
This new game from Pyrozen brings the adult style of their Crazy Hangover games to a surreal tale of anthropomorphic foodstuffs. The graphics are a detailed, smoothly animated cartoon style. The interior of the fridge is somewhat seedy, with disturbing stains and a general air of neglect. The various areas include background animations such as the weeping lettuce in Harry’s initial compartment and several bottles urinating with goofily relieved expressions. The game is fully voiced to a good standard with a variety of voices, including the timid Harry and the gruff tones of his potential saviour.
As some of the graphical content suggests, this is not a game for children or the easily offended. Whilst some of the puzzles involve conventional inventory use, many require you to get into the sordid lives of the other fridge occupants. You will procure a sexy companion for a bottle of tabasco sauce and undertake a hit for your mysterious benefactor. All interaction is performed through a simple point-and-click interface, with dialogues fully automated. Much of your time will be spent trying to access new areas of the fridge, with character interaction and inventory use playing equal parts. There is a side quest to collect baby carrots scattered around the fridge, with a complete collection changing the ending. Clicking on certain items also opens up optional unlockable videos that inspired various parts of the game. |
