The beanstalk growing out of the title-giving manhole. Will you climb up or down?
thumbnail
I chose to go up. A dragon is landing on the tower in the distance.
thumbnail
Inside the tower.
thumbnail
The game is full of Wonderland moments—suddenly, the tower was just part of a chess set.
thumbnail
A nice pond.
thumbnail
You meet fantastical, friendly creatures everywhere.
thumbnail
There is also a small channel labyrinth.
thumbnail
The elevator
thumbnail
Most screens contain some objects to play around with.
thumbnail
Who you gonna call?
thumbnail
Ancestor of an in-game character.
thumbnail
A very <em>Myst</em> moment.
thumbnail
Diving down to the ship.
thumbnail
You can even learn a little French.
thumbnail
Meeting the rabbit.
thumbnail
You can watch TV.
thumbnail
And what might you find going down the rabb... I mean, manhole?
thumbnail
Do you dare ring the bell?

Very short intro (Japanese version). Don't worry, you can switch the text to English in the game itself
thumbnail
The game begins with the titular manhole
thumbnail
A giant tree grows out of it
thumbnail
You end up in a surreal, strangely appealing world. Where does this door lead to?..
thumbnail
Mysterious tower
thumbnail
Can you read that?..
thumbnail
You travel into a book. Clear inspiration for <moby game="Myst"> Myst</moby>, by the same creators
thumbnail
Checking all those books...
thumbnail
The rabbit offers you tea...
thumbnail
...and you accept. This is tea, indeed. You click on it, you drink it
thumbnail
Outside of rabbit's house, you see another one of those giant trees...
thumbnail
...and a tiny fire hydrant. Some of the screens in this game are really minimalistic
thumbnail
You know what to do, right? Just like in <i>Alice in Wonderland</i> :)
thumbnail
Right. The hydrant turns into a giant house
thumbnail
Click on the picture of the hat, and it will turn into... a picture of another hat
thumbnail
You are curious to explore everything. Of course you'll touch it...
thumbnail
...and be taken to a rather friendly dragon
thumbnail
You can use the remote to flip channels. Very nice touch of interactivity
thumbnail
Now it's time to explore the mysterious tower...
thumbnail
Plenty of atmosphere here...
thumbnail
Chatting with a flamingo, admiring the surreal background of giant chess pieces
thumbnail
This must be Ganesha, the well-known Hindu deity
thumbnail
The gondola is so tiny, that the rabbit finds it in his tea cup!..
thumbnail
Another one of those surreal passages. The corridor ends in snowy mountains
thumbnail
Hmm, now this is a strange place
thumbnail
Wall Russ? What's next - "Lie On"? "Jag You Are"? "Al E. Gator"? I can make those up too, you know :)
