Snodgits

Snodgits is wonderful. It's cheap, simple to pick up, hard to put down, and extremely pretty!

You take the role of Benton the Butler, servant to the Snodgers, a frightfully well-to-do couple. In the family household, some very peculiar happenings have been, um... happening. Objects have been going missing. This spate of "snodgering" has reached such an alarming rate, that a team of famous, though largely incompetent, detectives have been called in to try and solve the case.

Being a more than marginally smart butler and not wishing to believe the disturbing rumours of Snodgits stealing all the household objects, you decide to solve the case yourself.

Snodgits

Nothing particularly amazing as yet. But I haven't explained about the graphics. They are a little like Ultimate's 3D excursions, except they scroll, and are huge! Your character, as all the others, is very well animated, and decidedly "cute". You can walk around the mansion, going up and down stairs, in search of the object or person you are pursuing.

There are also various items of scenery dotted around, such as grandfather clocks, baths, bookcases, plants and desks.

Despite being a little jerky, the animation is good.

Snodgits is well worth the money. Extremely entertaining, and easy to get going with.
