Walkthrough

Here's a neat little game that seems more like a demo or incomplete game. I got it from the developer's website (which I can no longer find! Igor Sinkovec is the developer's name) and it listed Ignac 2 as "coming soon" so I gather this is it. The developer is from Slovenia but the English subtitles do not reflect that English is not the developer's language. The author has also written a demo called PD. Ignac the game is very small and takes little time to complete (about a half-hour unless you get stuck). It features cartoon graphics of a Warner Brothers standard and an easy-to-use point and click interface. The game has some amusing situations and a couple of interesting puzzles. Of interest are a few red herrings. Don't kill yourself if you find most of your inventory items aren't used! Most experienced adventurers won't find this a challenge. Ignac is the name of the title character, a mischievous child banished to his room after bringing home a poor report card. Your goal is to free Ignac from his prison.

(Ignac's Room)
My name is Ignac. I know, I know: I get myself into these situations. "Could apply himself more", they say. Anyhow, it's done now. So here I am in my room, where Dad expects me to study. So am I? What do you think? I'm gonna get out of here! And I know exactly what to do… That crack in the window-if only I had something to widen it. If I shake my bed a few times, that should work a spring loose. Yep. Now if I shape it, I can make a usable key. Let's check out the corridor…

(Corridor)
That bulge under the carpet-a plastic bag I hid earlier. That'll be useful. If I'm careful, this key should open the bathroom door. Gently, so it doesn't break. CLICK! We're in…

(Bathroom)
Ah. The power cable is in the toilet. Don't ask! No, I'm not putting my hand in there. BUT, the plastic bag will come in very handy. Now, I've got the cable. Back to my room.

(Ignac's Room)
The cable's not too wet. I'll hook it up to the computer. Now, the plug goes into the power point. Come on computer-warm up already! Push the CD-ROM button to eject that burned disk. Just check it-yeah it's only a copy of a no-brainer shooter called "Mood" or something. I'll just slip this disk into the crack. That's got the window! Let's get out of here! I'm free.

(Epilog)
Yes, I've learned my lesson. It won't happen again. In future, I'll show my mother the report card…but only when she's wearing her distance glasses, of course!
