Our take on The Adventures of Fatman
The two difficulty settings trade convenience for stricter play: the lower-difficulty mode supplies hints and retries, while the harder mode removes saves and hints and adds sudden death.
What is The Adventures of Fatman?
Fatman is a crime fighter in Shadowlawn who must confront Toxicman, a supervillain created through corporate sabotage.
This parody point-and-click adventure uses hand-drawn art and animation, English voice acting, an original soundtrack, comic characters, and in-game designer commentary. The special edition adds extra easter eggs and a revised ending, plus trading cards and a soundtrack. Players can select a lower-difficulty mode with hints and retries or a harder mode without saves or hints, featuring sudden death. The game is a 2007 re-release of a title first issued in 2003. For modern operating systems, the vendor recommends windowed mode, which can be set to large or HD sizes.
