Every fan of traditional point n click adventures must play and support Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure. A really solid and complete game, including humorous dialogues, smart (but not very difficult) puzzles and a unique cast of characters, with only drawback its relatively short duration.
I’ve played my fair share of indie games, but few felt as polished as Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure. A great deal of care has gone into its production, and despite getting pretty dark and serious towards the end, the memorable characters kept me glued and did a fantastic job of propelling the story forward — in every aspect, it’s a fine introduction to the point-and-click genre also title worthy of any veteran.

Excellent graphic adventure that is inspired by the LucasArts classics and the work of Lovecraft to offer a plot full of humor and mystery.
Forget about the Cthulhu in its title; you don’t need to be a fan of Lovecraft to enjoy this accomplished point and clicker. Gibbous – A Cthulhu Adventure will tickle your funny bones with its dialogue and won’t leave you flummoxed when faced with its puzzles. And because of that it’s fun from beginning to end. It isn’t groundbreaking in any way, but did anyone expect it to be? It’s just yet another very good entry into a genre that remains ever popular.
A solid first effort from the Romanian outfit, a good narrative just let down by some overly simple puzzling.
Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure looks amazing and will make you laugh, but its inability to tell a coherent story prevents this comedy cosmic horror adventure from fulfilling its abundant potential.
Gibbous is worth your time if you are willing to overlook its numerous oddities and rushed narrative so you can enjoy a few brilliant game design ideas and marvel at the game’s outlandish sets. If Stuck in Attic sets out to create its second game, the studio should scale back its ambitions and definitely hire a professional screenwriter.
Solid 7. Charming, cute game. Not the most outstanding game in the genre, but see that developers really tried to create what they like. Interesting and not trivial point-n-click.

Utterly charming and fun and harking back to the glory days of Lucasarts and even Infocom. Still playing, and most of the time with a silly grin of nostalgia on my face. The puzzles aren't the hardest, some of the voice acting isn't exactly prize winning, but putting that at the top is just criticism for criticism sake. The game is simply fun end to end and if you long for the golden age of adventure games, this is beautiful trip down memory lane.
EDIT: having now finished, I sadly have to take down the score. The game seemed to run out of steam or seemed incomplete. The rap scene... ugh. The ending... couldn't seemingly make up its mind whether it was supposed to be profound and moving or teasing a sequel or what. Still overall good fun, but bit of a letdown at the end.

I agree with the other reviews, the voice acting gave me cancer... and when he starts rapping and you can't skip it... I facepalmed myself so hard I almost ripped my head off.

This game is a super "meh" from me. We all know the overall quality of the P&C games has been very low for the past years, and this is not a bad game, but it's just another one... maybe a little above average, mostly because the art is stunning. The gameplay, the voice acting, the puzzles, the dialogues... are super amateur. (The end will disapoint you guaranteed). They should do animation movies.

Summary Crazy cultists. Cthulhu. A talking cat. Gibbous takes you on an expansive, traditionally animated, hand-painted adventure. Play as three protagonists and explore a lushly rendered Lovecraft-inspired world, unraveling ancient conspiracies. A comedy cosmic horror adventure made in Transylvania.
