However, like the classic point and click adventures, the game can present several difficulties. Mainly the one about getting stuck at the beginning of the story. And it is that, without a tutorial that prepares us for this gameplay, and with a strange story, it is almost indecipherable to know what the next step to take is. Don't worry. Here we guide you through the first steps of the game.

First Screen

In the living room, with my grandfather. It is possible to start testing the mechanics of this game safely and calmly. Once the grandfather is asleep we just have to click where we want to move with our child-lightbulb. Try using the gamepad lying next to the TV. Click on it and, when you have it on, on the televisionThis is just to show an animation of the interaction, but you can square your schematics to see how the title works. However, what our protagonist wants is to go to bed.

Actually, what you have to do is click on the television to go to a detailed view. Don't be misled by the buttons, just pull the power cable to unplug it.

The next step is removing the dentures from one's own grandfather's mouth . Click on this character and then press repeatedly on the screen to achieve this goal.

The only container with water nearby to leave the dentures is the one in the fish tank, so that's the next step.Open the inventory by clicking on the backpack and arDrag the denture icon from the bottom top to the fishbowl And solved. Not the most hygienic, but what else can this kid do?

Now all that remains is to click on the door to go to sleep next to his flying dog. This is when this adventure really begins.

Trapped in the room

After the short video showing how the Bombilla mansion is attacked by a strange flying body, our protagonist wakes up. He is alerted by the screams of his grandfather. However, when we tried to leave the room we ran into a dangerous giant spider.

This spider demands insects, and that's what we'll give it. First click on the cable at the bottom left of the screen With that we will be able to burn the flyand capture it. Then we approach the chest Changing the view, we see a messy drawer in which lives a cockroach To catch it you just have to clear its way to the candy. Close the box of matches, open the scissors and pick up the m should suffice. When the insect eats the candy it remains attached to it and it is possible to capture it

Finally you have to get the worm that is under the bed. To access it, you must first take the duster that is to the right of the bed.After looking under this piece of furniture, all you have to do is drag the duster icon to the worm to get it

So, all that remains is to stand before the spider and give it the three tributes from your inventory. The result is explosive. And what is better, it allows us to go in search of grandfather.

The hall

When we pass the door, a dark corridor appears before our noses. It is impossible to advance due to the arms that come out of the different holes and that rush us against the beginning of the corridor.

The key is in the ceiling lamps. At the end of the day we are a light bulb, although it is difficult to discover it. By clicking on the nearest chandelier it is possible to jump to it. And go from one to the other for almost the entire corridor.

After overcoming the first section, you should descend to the ground again and approach the window Here is a broken glass that we must pick up to help us later. In the next section of corridor, when you pass the second evil arm, there is a picture with the representation of a key It is a clear signal to get off the lamp and touch it . This reveals a secret cavity that houses a key We pick it up.

Go back to the beginning of the corridor, where there is a locked cabinet right between the two doors. We use the key that we have collected to open it, starting with the right door to open the left one later. We pick up the oil can and go to the other end of the corridor.

In this place we find a door and an armor If you click on the door you will end the game after the unloving embrace of one of these arms-tentacle. What you need to do is apply the crystal to the tip of the armor's spear, just like a scythe. Afterwards, Put a drop of oil on it to grease it In this way it is possible to get on it and be a tough character.

Now it's time for something a little more risky. Touch to face the monster Simply approach the door for it to attack you. Of course, don't stop clicking on the armor all this time to quickly jump onto it and use the weaponThis will slice the monster's hand to access the next screen.

Back in the living room

We find Grandpa, and the initial reaction is to pounce on him to see if he's okay. Spoiler alert: he isn't. You have to wake him up As in any movie, the logical thing to do is pour water on his face It's here where the poor fishbowl Don't suffer for the fish, it's already dead.

This brings us to an animation showing that the terror has only just begun, and that our grandfather is far from safe. It seems that a being has taken over his body and is escaping through the roof.

The last step to overcome these first bars of the game is get on the lamp again Of course, this time it falls to the ground . The good thing is that he leaves us his cable to climb to the upper floor, where the story of this lightbulb child continues.

Don't be scared of what comes next. Not that the story is totally weird. It is a flashback or a moment of memory to represent the history and relationship between grandson and grandfather. A pinch of background plot to get even more affection for the characters. Yes, it is a peculiar indie game, but not only because of its appearance, but also because of its approach. An experience that should be enjoyed, especially now that it is on sale.

What will lie ahead for him and if he will be able to save his grandfather is something we let you figure out by your own hand. Do not forget that, when you feel trapped in the game, without knowing what to do, you can access the menu Just click on the backpack and then on the three lines in the upper right corner.
