Inspired by classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games, Der Herr Lumpus follows a child who believes he is an adult. Imitating his perception of adult behavior, the story explores a day in his life as someone who thinks he is a tax consultant (Steuerberater) — or at least he thinks he is. The idea for Der Herr Lumpus originated from a pen-and-paper campaign we played, where Herr Lumpus became a standout character. His childlike mind and unique perspective on how children view the adult world made him the perfect protagonist for our game. The game is a short, pixel-art point-and-click adventure that captures the nostalgic charm of LucasArts titles like Monkey Island. Players interact using the left mouse button to look around, click on objects, and solve puzzles.
