Spectacle

Spectacle is a fantasy story set in a magical desert kingdom. As a turn-of-the-century protagonist, you find a flier for the Spectacle circus in your mailbox. As you attempt to enter the circus, you are magically transported across time and space to an unfamiliar grove in the middle of a desert. With no obvious way back, your goals are to explore this mysterious kingdom in search of its greatest treasure, and to discover a route back to your own world.

Spectacle is the developer's second point-and-click adventure game inspired by the NES ports of the MacVenture games and its interface works the same way as the first game, Infested. The player has a list of verbs at the bottom of the screen and can examine, use, take, or open objects in the environment and their inventory, as well as talk to anyone you meet along the way. By combining information and items found throughout the kingdom to solve the game's puzzles, the player unlocks new areas and learns more about the situation that the protagonist is trapped in. Spectacle also features a day and night cycle that advances each time the player moves between locations, with several events based on the time of day,
