Dangeresque returns in a "some-new" point-and-click adventure!!

Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate is a point-and-click adventure collection, featuring an expanded remake of Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque alongside two brand-new roomisodes; a fourth bonus level was added after the game's release.

First teased in 2021, the Triungulate was officially announced on May 25, 2023 with a trailer. The game was released by Videlectrix on Steam and Itch.io for $7.99.

Gameplay

The three interaction options: "Look at", "Talk to", and "Get/Use"

Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate is a point-and-click adventure game. The title, a portmanteau of "room" and "episode", refers to how the games are structured to take place in a single location rather than an expansive world (compare Thy Dungeonman 3).

Dangeresque is the primary playable character, though on occasion Renaldo or Dangeresque Too can be controlled. Clicking on an interactive character or item reveals three options:

Look at (eyeball icon) — Dangeresque observes the item, commenting on its status (e.g. noting that a door is locked) as applicable.
Talk to (chattering teeth icon) — Dangeresque starts a conversation with a character, or offers a humorous one-liner to an inanimate object.
Get/Use (boxing glove icon) — Dangeresque will take an item (if possible) or will physically manipulate it.

Items that a player "gets" are added to their inventory, which can then be re-selected and used on other objects in the game. It is not necessary to combine multiple inventory items, though items may frequently change status (a cup being filled or emptied, for instance) as the game progresses. In addition to "talk to" actions, Dangeresque narrates the actions he takes for the benefit of the player.

Roomisodes typically begin by introducing several objectives the player must complete. Accomplishing these tasks usually takes the form of completing multi-step puzzles, taking several actions in a certain sequence or making use of multiple items to do so.

Although it is possible to fail the objectives, these "game over" states are brief. After playing a short video clip of the character's demise, the player is immediately returned to just before the losing action was taken. Some game overs imply that a stunt double took the fall for Dangeresque.

>ALERT (UPDATED 8/11 8:22pm) - If you purchased and downloaded the game before 8:22PM Eastern Time U.S. you should re-download before playing again.

Fun Facts

Explanations

Triungulate is a rarely-used scientific term used to describe animals with three toes.
- It could be considered a malapropism of "trilogy", as this release consists of three games.
- It could also be a play on triumvirate, a group of three people holding power, or triangulate, meaning to divide an area into triangles in order to measure or map it.
The index page announcement's page title, "Please Insert Disk Tri of Ungulate!", refers to the multiple, numbered floppy disks used for installation and gameplay of the sort of older PC adventure games that The Roomisode Triungulate is designed to resemble.

Trivia

The shortened itch.io description (seen on Videlectrix's page) reads "Join the world's best private eye/crooked cop as he puzzles his way through this short point n click adventure."
The shortened Steam description reads "Join Dangeresque, the world's greatest private eye/crooked cop, as he puzzles his way through 3 bite-sized roomisodes in this classic-style point n' click adventure."
The "More information" box on itch.io lists the status as "Released", the platforms as "Windows" and "macOS", the author as "Videlectrix", the genre as "Adventure", and the tags "Comedy", "dangeresque", "homestar-runner", "Mystery", "Noir", "Point & Click", "Retro", and "strong-bad".
Many of the people thanked — Tulley Rafferty, Emily Morganti, Erin Yvette, Jake Rodkin, Chuck Jordan, and Jonathan Sgro — formerly worked for Telltale Games.

Remarks

Dan Mackenzie is credited as a playtester. He may be the same Dan Mackenzie whose animations were featured on the Weekly Fanstuff in 2007 and 2009.
