Somehow the pixelart/animation style reminds me very, very much of the old Gobliiins games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobliiins) - the artists seem to be different (Emannuele Spinasse and Pierre Gilhodes) but the detail and movements seem to be very close in feeling.

YES! First thing I thought of, especially after seeing the wizard dude in panel 12. I am very much reminded of the level in Golbins Quest 3 where Blount is eaten by the wolf and has to put the three lights into the bowl to escape death. That game is an underrated a classic, in my opinion.

I love how this comic conveys the old adventure game feel of discovery and exploration.

There's also Woodruff & the Schnibble of Azimuth, which was on CD-rom, in high-res 640 by 480 and fully voice-acted. It also had annoyingly slow loading times, but that didn't stop me from finishing the game.

Here's a longplay of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCjjCwhn8cs
