The Blubs, your average family of space aliens, are in a heap of trouble. They've crash-landed in a garbage dump and need you to help them put their ship back together so they can get back home to their less odorous planet. That is, before a gang of intergalactic bank robbers can get ahold of them. Find out why the critics are calling Down in the Dumps the funniest, best-looking and smelliest 3D graphic adventure game ever to (dis)grace a computer screen.

A CLASSIC, ADULT CARTOON ADVENTURE SET ON A STINKING RUBBISH DUMP.
Meet the Blubs. They're the wackiest family of eccentric, thumb-sized extraterrestrials you'll ever meet. And guess what - they need your help. Get your blubby brain in gear and help them get the hell off this crazy planet called Earth. Oh.....there's a catch - they're stuck in a stinking rubbish dump and are being relentlessly pursued by a loony gang of drunk and ugly thugs.* Beautiful, distinctive and award-winning cartoon animation using ground-breaking technology.
3 full CDs divided into 4 separate classic cartoons - 'The Blub - The Rat and the Bad Guy', 'The Hypnotic Machine', 'The Abominable Robin Blub' and 'The Bum'.
Surreal, off-the-wall progression of events, full of tension, gratuitous violence and great adult humour.
A real richness of detail with superb variety of characters to control, graphical styles and gameplay styles.
Universal acclaim from the computer game industry.
