About Powers in the Basement

Powers in the Basement - about the game
Will Phail, a lazy 15-year-old, hunts for his missing T-shirt to salvage his reputation and join friends. This indie adventure throws him into scrapes with dodgy grandparents, pesky rats, and hungry plants, culminating in a basement plunge where strange powers stir. Players wield a sharp 9-verbs interface in this point-and-click tribute to 80s and 90s classics, especially LucasArts gems. Witty, surreal humor blends medieval fairytale vibes with modern twists and nerdy nods, all family-friendly. Tackle tough puzzles that demand clever thinking, yet stay fair for newcomers. Puzzle enthusiasts and longtime point-and-click fans get a 5-6 hour trip back to childhood highs on PC.

Will Phail is a fifteen-year-old like many others: lazy, spoiled, and phlegmatic. But he has one thing that others lack: he's useless!

Experience Will's drama in this short adventure as he searches for his favorite T-shirt so he can hang out with his friends trying to defend his already compromised reputation.

Dodge lazy grandparents, mischievous rats, and carnivorous plants, and find the courage to descend into the frightening basement, where powers beyond understanding lurk, waiting to be awakened!

  • A dive into the golden age of point-and-click adventures
  • A state-of-the-art, ultramodern 9-verbs interface, to put you in total control
  • The humor of the great classics, with jokes conceived for smart people, like YOU who have decided to play this game!
  • Amazing 3D graphics: Dimple, Dlat, and Dapproximate
  • Awesome MT-32 music and 22KHz sound effects that will blow your mind
  • Challenging and merciless puzzles that will force you to rack your brains!
The Game

Powers in the Basement is a 5/6 hours long point-and-click adventure game, deliberately reminiscent of the great classics from the 80s / 90s, with a specific sweet spot for LucasArts production.

It's a witty and sometimes surreal game, with clean humor, also suitable for children, set in a pseudo-fantasy world in which the medieval fairytale is punctuated by anachronisms, elements of modernity, and absurd references to nerd pop culture.
It's a challenging game made for puzzle lovers, those who like to have a-ha moments in the shower or while cooking, but we did our best to make it a fair and enjoyable experience for casual gamers as well

If you are a longtime fan of this genre, well... we hope we can bring you back to your childhood for a while.
