They clearly couldn't get Jim Carrey for this game. Anyway, we find out that the plot of the game is a little different from that of the movie, and then we go through the tutorial.

If this looks familiar, it's because Napostriouf uploaded some footage of the PC version around Christmas back in 2023:

In this video, we play the first of four levels in the game. There's not much, but there's still plenty to do and plenty of backtracking between them, and we get two of the missions in the first level done and dusted.

Here's some difference between the PC (3DFX version) and PS1 version. Let's note that the PS1 version has more vibrant colors and the textures seem more complete, but on the other side, the 3DFX version focuses on deepness perspective and keeping a good ratio. Interesting!

In this video, we head to the post office and disorganize everything, accidentally cause the game to crash and get the rotten egg launcher to get some more gifts out of the people standing around.

In this video, we head to the second of four worlds in the game and throw beehives down chimneys and destroy trees with our bad breath before being at a loss as to what to do next.

In this video, we explore more of the Whoforest and get all the blueprints for the Rocket Spring, then head back to Downtown Whoville and take care of business that we couldn't before.

In this video, we vandalize the mayor's statue and mess with the countdown clock. For the former, we'll need to be able to sneak; for the latter, we'll have to solve some lever puzzles.

In this video, we head back to the Whoforest to mess up the glue cannon, then go down into people's homes to find presents and blueprint pieces. We also unlock the Whoville Dump, the third level in the game.

In this video, we head to the Whoville Dump and start exploring the place. We get some things done, but we also notice some things that seem like they do something. We'll have more stuff figured out in the next video.

In this video, we get even more stuff done in the Whoville Dump. This allows us to unlock Who Lake, the fourth and final level of the game.

In this video, we head to another part of the dump and shave the Dump Guardian clean so he has no beard. We also build the Octopus Climbing Device, which allows us to climb up certain walls.
