This game is named appropriately, for two reasons.
First, it's about a series of unfortunate events. After a bright opening, the game quickly devolves into tragedy after tragedy. The writing is funny and fresh, and the situations made me laugh.
Second, though, the biggest section of the game is incredibly frustrating, with inventory limits, hunger puzzle, liquid measuring problems, etc.
I recommend playing through the first part, then using a walkthrough or the club floyd transcript.
