Few people would be able to resist the robust charms of Later Alligator – A New comedy-adventure Game filled with humor, nonsense, and reptilian cat play. Although the previous work by developer Pillow Fight seems to have focused mainly on the genre of the visual novel, their latest game diverts a kind of Layton- like Professor, a simple point-and-click adventure punctuated with unique mini-games and game hunts Collectibles. The experience is beautiful and cute, and although some players may lament the relative rarity of the content, you cannot stay angry when you are under the serenade of an animated alligator playing the mandolin.

Alligator New York City is an urban environment in black shades populated entirely with alligators (and maybe some ghosts). Interestingly, the game is played from a sort of the first-person perspective, and determining who exactly the main controllable character is or what he’s doing here is a persistent mystery that hovers around the periphery. Anyway, they came at the mercy of Pat the Alligator, a sweet nebulous convinced that their family is preparing a nefarious ploy. Pat instructs you to contact each of them to determine if a grievous plot is going on and keep your services as a protector. You will then walk around ANYC in a few different places to interview the locals and get into family gossip.

The humor is usually light but insightful, based on puns and jokes as well as insightful social observations. For example, Pat’s father laughs next to his trusty grill like a fountain of daddy jokes but also opposes them to solemn and conscious skills that make them even more fun. Or the “Eat-Emergency” stand in the park, which combines fast food with a thematic commentary on the sad state of health insurance. So humor has teeth, but it’s usually light, accessible and enjoyable, based only on the very high standard of writing.

Portions of mini-games are, in the meantime, strong or not. The game’s trailer features “more than 25 mini-games,” which is an extremely generous decision, as many of the games are mostly based on luck or the bustle. The first game you’ll probably play is a three-card game with Slick Mickey in front of Hotel Pat. It is virtually impossible to lose. Do you want to laugh when you play, anyway? Certainly, but some players might see this and other relatively shallow mini-games as little more than padding.

Yet, much like Professor Layton or Puzzle Agent, the diversity of games that never overlap is also magical. In one case, you may notice the differences between a work of art and a falsification, and later, you protect the cradle of Gator’s sleeping baby from ghosts. These two specific mini-games are much more involved than the others, and a higher percentage of these types would have been welcome, but there remains a pleasantly anarchic chocolate-box quality to the size of the next family member you charge this time.

However, everything in the game does not feel completely cooked. There is a strange under-explored thread on insects, whether as a thing that alligators eat or possibly as fuel for the trolley? There is also an easy joke of putting “Alligator” in front of proper names, which confirms the fictional universe of the game (as in “Alligator Long Island” or “YACA” instead of the YMCA), but of Other situations will inconsistently refer to things in the real world such as the Sizzler restaurant or the pseudonym “Gandalf Da Bey” on the Internet. Usually, the inherent absurd energy justifies anything thrown into the mixer for laughter, but in such a short game, a minor construction of the world of inconsistencies like these seem more perceptible.

These are certainly all chosen, and the exuberant atmosphere and hilarious irreverence make Alligator play later on a constant joy. A given game phase should only take about an hour and a half, but there are a few things to come back in pursuit of the complete end. There’s even a kind of time mechanics, where playing mini-games and going to different regions is like a clock, but it’s manageable and unobtrusive unless you get into the weeds, which is doubtful. There is also a catchy and addictive soundtrack, which raises as many heavy loads as the written and visual design. Almost every screen in the game has its theme, and there are small exclamations and murmurs in the audio mix that add even more color and life to some characters. An imminent announcement for the release of a physical soundtrack, fortunately, seems inevitable.
