Jacaranda Jim

Crashing your spaceship on a strange planet and formulating some sort of escape plan is a longstanding convention in science fiction literature, film and games. This game begins with Jacaranda Jim’s spaceship crashing on Ibberspleen IV and there the conventions evaporate: his antagonists? A fleet of homicidal beechwood armchairs. It’s all right, though — with your constant companion Alan the Gribbley and the assistance of Mavis, a cow, you will help Jim navigate Ibberspleen’s strangely familiar village marketplace, hunting for legendary treasure and, ultimately, a return to outer space.
