It's been a peculiar day for Jessica Plunkenstein. By a freak twist of fate and airline security, our heroine finds herself battling evil barons bent on world domination, evil headmistresses bent on pathological propriety, and evil yodelers bent on nothing in particular. Full of llamas, ninjas, French people, pickled herring, dubious German accents, yetis in heat, and musical theatre up the wazoo, Jessica's adventures bring her from the Amazonian Rain Forests to the Norwegian Alps with layovers along the Eastern seaboard. So tag along, and you, too, can unravel The Düsseldorf Conspiracy in what the New York Times calls the Best Adventure Game of 2005!

Dont know about NYT (do they have gaming reviews column? ), but I know that this game is good. And was overlooked by me years ago, probably because of huge downloadsize.

Re: Jessica Plunkenstein and the Düsseldorf Conspiracy
I play this game at the moment. It doesn't have the prettiest graphics for sure, but the story is totally weird and there are lots of fun dialogues and details (I laughed out loud several times). So this is a lot of fun to play!

Re: Jessica Plunkenstein and the Düsseldorf Conspiracy
When it comes to graphics the game is ugly as the night, but the absurd story and hilarious dialogues full of humour and references to famous movies and pop culture make easily up for that. And most important the puzzles (which are meat and bone of every adventure game) are far ahead of the average ones you will find in most amateur adventures. Of course there are still some which are not completely logical, but most of them make sense and still you have to really use your brain to find them (I must admit that I even had to use a walkthrough twice, because I was stuck).
Voice acting is also fine and the game has a good lenght and won't be over in one hour (I think it took me about 4 hours to complete it).

Re: Jessica Plunkenstein and the Düsseldorf Conspiracy
I advanced in the game and started to like it much. It fails in graphics (unless it was meant to be bad) and hotspots departments, but puzzles are good and it really shines in humour department. I normally don't like games overloaded with gags and popcultural references, but the ones here are really intelligent and funny. For example Ive discovered a reference to Kubrick's The Shining. This is not the ordinary game, misters.
