At the beginning, young Edna wakes up in the padded cell of an insane asylum with no memory of her past. She doesn’t have the slightest idea how she wound up there, but one thing is for sure, she wants out! After all, she feels perfectly sane – and her talking stuffed bunny Harvey agrees completely. Together, they attempt an escape and, in doing so, meet their extremely bizarre fellow patients – from the man in the bee costume to the pseudo-Siamese twins Hoti and Moti. But Dr. Marcel, head of the asylum, will stop at nothing to keep Edna from escaping. What does he have planned for her? And why was her memory erased? Gradually, Edna regains her memory of the time before her detention in her cell…

What a Trip...

What a trip...as we used to say in the '60s. Anyway, this game is one of the very best iPad Point & Click game ports I've played and that's saying a lot. It's one of the finest in almost every way, with one caveat (mentioned at the end of this review), including its story, brilliantly funny dialogue, charming graphics, superb voice acting, and many creative, tough, and wacky problems to solve. This is one of just a few out of hundreds of games where I would award nine out of ten (not five) stars if I could. I won't lavish praise beyond this because, if you believe me, you will want to try it for yourself if you love Point & Click Adventures - You won't regret it! Okay, the caveat is that you will most likely need to use an online walkthrough at least several times during the game since excellent wackiness doesn't always invite intuitiveness into the picture ;-) The game's lack of a good hint system is why I did not fantasize about giving it ten (instead of nine) stars. Other reviewers have discussed this in detail, so, 'nuff said.
Only because we played it on pc

This game and Harvey new eyes are two endlessly replay games. If you like funny humor, dirty humor, and dark humor mix and than you will DEFINITELY like these two games!
My short review

Fun game. Took me a long time to beat it. Make sure to save after Edna escaped her bedroom near the ending when Edna is sending Harvey to check up on the father downstair. There are two endings to the game
This is more than worth the money.

If you like adventure games this is a game for you! With witty dialogue that reminds me of games such as Monkey Island or Hector this is a very entertaining game and I am not even finished playing it yet. The only downside is that there is no hint system so if you get stuck you have to look up the walkthrough online.
Humerous, heartwarming & suspenseful adventure

Just finished the game and I absolutely loved it. The slightly unhinged Edna & her subconsciously animated and talking stuffed rabbit make a great duo. Both are very well voiced and grow on you as you play. The story has just enough mystery and suspense to keep you hooked and eager to see edna escape and discover the true nature of her incarceration at the mental hospital. It takes a surprisingly dark turn at the end but it makes it all the more emotionally compelling and interesting. The game itself is classic point and click adventure. The UI has been updated from the pc version, making the transition to the iPad faithfully yet improved. All options (use, talk to, pick up, etc.) are now mapped directly around the object your tapping on, making a faster and more friendly control interface. My only complaint is that using items requires you to open your bag, select an item,close your bag, then drag the item to whatever you want to use it on or combine with. Too many needless steps, but I got used to it. A tutorial in the beginning would have helped greatly as you are left to simply tap on things and figure it out yourself. Took me awhile to figure out how to do something as simple as using an item. As for the puzzles, most of them are fairly logical and are great fun to figure out. A few puzzles are downright evil and will almost require a walk through to solve. One was because of a cultural identifier, a "WC" or "Water Closet". In America we call it the bathroom, in Germany (where the game was made) it's "water closet". Why is this important? One puzzle requires you to make a guard who is watching a series of monitors feel the urgent need to use the bathroom. You do this by closely observing the monitors and realizing you can spell out the letters "WC" by turning the lights on and off in certain rooms throughout the facility so the monitors light up and spell out "WC". I NEVER would have solved that on my own simply because "WC" doesn't mean "bathroom" to me. None of this dampens the fun or the story too much. You'll meet a great cast of eccentric characters, plenty of off the wall humor and fourth wall breaking gags, and a surprisingly touching and emotionally moving story in the midst of it all. This is well worth the price, pick up the game and surprise yourself.

I'm stuck! I was able to get out of the padded cell but now what?! Is there a guide I can buy? Hints are no help. It's a cool game but I can't get past the 2nd guard. ;(( Please help!
