Gibbous for Windows

A Fresh Take on a Classic-Style Adventure

Gibbous is a modern point-and-click adventure that affectionately lampoons the Cthulhu Mythos. It mixes wholesome, feel-good humor with hints of cosmic horror and pays tribute to the golden era of adventure games while keeping its own contemporary tone.

Story and Characters

The plot centers on Buzz Kerwan, a laid-back librarian who stumbles upon a notoriously dangerous grimoire—the Necronomicon—which contains a variety of eldritch rituals. After an ill-fated experiment, he inadvertently grants his cat, nicknamed Kitteh, the power of speech.

You can switch between three playable protagonists: Buzz, a hard-boiled detective named Don R. Retype, and the newly articulate Kitteh. Together they explore a richly illustrated, Lovecraft-flavored world and slowly peel back a web of ancient conspiracies.

What You’ll Experience

• A lighthearted spin on cosmic horror that leans into jokes and affectionate references rather than pure dread.
• Multiple playable characters with distinct personalities that change how you approach situations.
• Beautifully crafted, hand-drawn environments inspired by classic adventure aesthetics.
• Engaging puzzles that echo traditional point-and-click mechanics while remaining accessible.
• Full voice performances and sharp writing that bring the cast and humor to life.

Why Play It

Gibbous combines strong artwork, witty dialogue, and enjoyable voice acting into a fun, memorable package. If you like clever writing, warm humor, and puzzle-driven exploration in a world that nods to Lovecraft without taking itself too seriously, this game is a great fit.
