Description
In a galaxy at the other end of the universe, on a planet called VERMIS, there are creatures so fearsome that it overwhelms all human imagination. Beings so wise and highly technologized that the very brightness of their aura would instantly shred our human eyes ... no, not really;)
The inhabitants of this planet are worms! But pretty clever ones. Among others, one of them is called 'Technologician'. And he discovered by means of a self-invented and self-built seismograph that the volcano 'Mount Spit' on the central island 'Residenco Volcano', that was believed to be dead for eons, may not be quite as dead as assumed. So the elders of the small island kingdom around Residenco Volcano decide to send out a brave hero to get an overview of the situation. As luck would have it (he, he) Looky gets the dangerous job. Why dangerous? Residenco Volcano is said to be inhabited by a folk of cannibals that is reason enough for all worms to not set a foot on this island (or more accurately: a tail, or tailtip, or … you know what I mean…).
You accompany Looky on his epic journey full of danger, screaming comedy and exquisite puzzles. Unravel the mysteries of a volcano that isn't one, a gone-nuts public enemy and the 'Barrier 51'!

Awards & Recognition
No award yet, but aiming at!
I made this game to secretly mine Bitcoins on the players computers, but I don't know a s**t about crypto currencies, mining and all those things, so it just became the best point&click adventure game available.
Selected Articles
Looky – Das Adventure Part 1 ist ein aufwendig und liebvoll produziertes Freeware Adventure, dass sich vor den "Großen" nicht zu verstecken braucht.
Looky - Das Adventure ist eigentlich mit keinem Spiel so wirklich zu vergleichen. Es hat seinen ganz eigenen Stil, überzeugt durch die detailreiche Grafik und einer interessanten Geschichte, in der es an Humor nicht hapert.
