But little does Guybrush know, his quest is part of a larger, more sinister plot, and good and evil are not always as they seem… Who can Guybrush trust? Where can he turn? Everything you think you know will be challenged as Tales of Monkey Island builds to its unexpected finale. Witness how one of the most cherished adventure gameworlds comes back to life in this modern point-and-click classic!
