Mechanics

In The Wardrobe the action is shown from the side. During the game, we traverse forty carefully designed locations, where more than seventy original NPCs are waiting for us, with whom we can a chat; many of them can help Skinny by giving him the information he needs, so during the conversations, it is worth experimenting and choosing a variety of dialogue options.

The pillar of the game is solving environmental puzzles consisting mainly of searching for items and using them in a specific way. With each object we can enter into one of four types of interaction - look, pick up, use or talk.

Technical aspects

Two-dimensional visuals of The Wardrobe's adopt a cartoonish style, making them quite pleasing to watch. Also noteworthy is the catchy, rock soundtrack that accompanies Skinny's adventures. It is worth noting that the PlayStation 4 version uses the DualShock 4 touchpad; the Nintendo Switch version uses the touchscreen.
