Unravel the Truth in Foolish Mortals
After four years of development, husband and wife team David and Sophie Younger of Inklingwood Studios are releasing Foolish Mortals on November 5, 2025. This hand-drawn, fully voiced point and click adventure draws inspiration from classics like Monkey Island and Broken Sword, immersing players in the mysterious world of 1930s Louisiana.
Players take on the role of treasure hunter Murphy McCallan, voiced by AJ LoCascio, known for roles in Back to the Future: The Game and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The story revolves around a 1933 mystery: a wedding vanished on Devil’s Rock decades ago, taking the secret location of the lost Bellemore Manor treasure. To find it, players explore detailed environments, solve puzzles, and interact with colorful characters.
Foolish Mortals is cozy rather than scary, with no deaths or dead ends. The game features over 100 items, a built-in hint system, more than 75 hand-drawn HD locations, and over two hours of original music, including an interactive big band song. More than 35 characters are fully voiced under the direction of Francisco González. The game also includes a complete German translation by Point and Click veteran Marcel Weyers.
Fans of classic adventure games will enjoy the nostalgic physical Big Box Edition, packed with 15 collectible items reminiscent of the 1990s. Blending intricate puzzles, a rich story, and a lovingly crafted world, Foolish Mortals promises to offer a memorable adventure for both longtime fans and newcomers when it comes out next month on Steam.
