Production

This was the very first Slovak video game which also included Slovak voice acting. Voice actors included were Jozef Pročko, Ladislav Kocan, and Riki magazine's editor-in-chief Ivo Ninja.[1] It is also the first Slovak commercial point & click adventure.[2]

The publishers actively tried to push against the rampant cross-country piracy by publishing the title directly into the Slovak and Czech domestic markets, and in English through the company OCEAN.[3] The Austrian publisher insisted that the games' music must be uploaded directly to them in the studio.[3]

Plot and gameplay

The player controls Johnny Burger, who plans to visit his cousin Emanuel for two weeks. A scientist offers him money to be part of an experiment. The experiment goes wrong, the scientist disappears, Johnny gets turned into a human pig, and he is kidnapped to the Planet Ladea. He must return things to how they were and find out what happened to Emanuel. Gameplay takes the form of a classic point and click adventure, with inventory and puzzles.

Critical reception

Adventure-archiv praised the puzzles and story for being highly original.[4] Gamesite.sk editors listed the title as the fifth best games of all time.[5]
