Oz, The Great And Terrible

I forgot that I never reviewed this, though I played it several days ago!

This game is a Bitsy game, meaning it has two-color low-resolution pixel graphics with simple two-frame animations, and text that pops up as you run into things. This particular game is a macabre and darkly humorous take on the Wizard of Oz.

You play as Dorothy whose dog is lost. The Wizard the Oz is a cruel necromancer reigning over the land and the only one that might be able to help you find your dog. The scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion take on far different forms here.

The game is a little tricker than most Bitsy games, requiring some fetch quests and some intuition on where to go to solve each problem. The ending was both positive and negative; it reminded me of the ending of Sister Location in the FNAF franchise, with its colorful and cheery tone but a 'not quite right' ending for our protagonists.
