About

Lucas is just about ready to embark on an epic adventure with his friends. Unfortunately fate has other plans. Trusty sidekick Cryo the Hamster is being attacked by a murderous cat. Due to a terrible mishap, Lucas is locked in the basement before he can react.

Help Lucas find a way to solve the many issues and finally exit the vault in Day of the Hamster.

Classic pixel art graphics and real Roland MT-32 music recordings are used to lend an authentic retro vibe to the game.

AGS Panel Rating

This is a puzzle-fest in Day of the Tentacle style. Well written and executed, and quite challenging, too.

What a delightful game. When I saw it classified as a short game and a side quest to Day of the Sandwich, I was very much expecting a quick game encounter with a hamster. But what I received was very charming and puzzle-ful. I think this game may even be longer than the original. For a short-medium game, top marks/

This was a real joy to play! Funny and challenging and good-looking. It's made in the style of DotT, and the puzzles are very well designed. Recommended!

I especially loved the hamster maze puzzle, that was really clever.

Thoroughly recommended - even more so if you liked Maniac Mansion / DotT.
