Day of the Tentacle
疯狂时代
Day of the Tentacle is a point-and-click adventure game developed by LucasArts and released in 1993. Players control three protagonists across different time periods to prevent an evil purple tentacle from taking over the world. The game uses the SCUMM engine, featuring inventory-based puzzle solving and character interaction. Players click to move, interact, and combine items to progress. Each character operates independently in their respective time periods, and their actions affect one another across time. The game consists of distinct areas to explore, with puzzles that often require trial and error. The interface allows easy access to inventory and dialogue options through the on-screen menu system.
