City of Fools

About

City of Fools drops you into the chaotic town of Tundel as a journalist sent to uncover a UFO cover-up. Your mission to locate the mayor collides with a web of absurd tasks and a nonlinear story that lets you stumble through 500+ locations. Each interaction with locals triggers wild errands, from finding a special pass to navigating streets whose names might as well be riddles. Hidden object scenes and 10 mini-games mix with inventory puzzles, all wrapped in a plot where the real mystery is why anyone would want to stay in this place. The game’s charm lies in its relentless humor and sprawl. Expert mode stretches past 100 hours, with players often praising the escalating ridiculousness of side tasks and the sheer number of distractions from the actual quest. Critics noted its quirky dialogue and the way it turns a simple "find the mayor" objective into a bureaucratic nightmare. While not everyone loved the steep learning curve, fans called it a "laugh-out-loud mess that somehow makes sense."
