While it may look like a dirty cartoon, Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure is endearing and eminently playable.

Overally it’s a decent effort. It’s not overly expensive so it won’t break the bank and it’s a nice walk down memory lane for those of us who grew up on Adventure games (but with mouse clicking instead of Parser commands.
If it sounds like this is all being to harsh on The BIG Cynical Adventure, it’s only because the game makes it too easy to be cynical right back at it. The one-man development efforts of Cowcat are to admired, but they sadly can’t save the end product from being purely mediocre.
Summary Demetrios is a quirky point and click adventure game inspired by classics like Broken Sword.
