Overview

What ABG knows about this game

In The Crusoe Crew (a.k.a. Baiam or Kuala), you embody a character in an immersive story in which your choices guide your progress. You have a character sheet akin to those used in role-playing games that tracks your possessions, your special abilities, your coins, and your victory points. In general, gameplay consists in following the comic's panels — which contain clues, riddles and traps — and making choices about where to go and what to do, while using your visual perception to collect clues and be smart enough to resolve the riddles. As in any game, you can lose — sometimes really badly! What's different with this story compared to other Graphic Novel Adventure books is that The Crusoe Crew is for 1-4 players, and each player has their own book, embodying a particular character with special powers. Work together with others (albeit separately) to progress on islands full of adventures and brain twisters!
