Hilariously British point & click adventure Heir of the Dog gets a demo

British humour, there's nothing like it, no you won't change my mind on that. Go and play the demo of Heir of the Dog right now. An upcoming release from Tall Story Games who previously made Lucy Dreaming and Hair of the Dog.

Confused? Hold on. Hair of the Dog and Heir of the Dog? What's going on here then? Hair of the Dog is their older free game, made in under two weeks for a Game Jam but they're coming back to the world for a full proper game in Heir of the Dog.

Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Heir of the Dog invites you on a hilarious romp through the dark streets and back alleys of Victorian London, where you’ll discover talking lice, cannibalism, a secret society and rather a lot of dogs.
