Snakes of Avalon is a dark, twisted comedy about alcoholism, family issues and insidious murder.
Mixes the style and plot twists of Hitchcock's suspense thrillers with surreal trips, bodily dysfunctions and Arthurian symbolism.

An interesting look at the life of a barfly, Snakes of Avalon presents the player with a series of real (or are they imagined?) puzzles and events and, for the most part, keeps the interest of the player. Some odd puzzle design choices and a deceptively non-comedic storyline notwithstanding, Snakes of Avalon is definitely worth a look.

the art is lazy, the puzzles are illogical, the writing is AWESOME.
A truly offbeat game, a little disturbing at times even, an engrossing experience.
The best AGS game I've played in years. Very carefully constructed.
Snakes of Avalon is another one of those "Looks like it's going to be comedy, but turns out to be much, much darker" games that, though often overlooked, are a real contribution to the adventure game scene.
Snakes in particular reminded me a bit of HillBilly's "Merry Christmas, Alfred Robbins" - which you should play as well, if this is your style of game. Overall very well done, and deserving of all of the accolades that it has received.
Also, I should mention that the soundtrack is awesome. If there's one thing that keeps me playing a game, even when stumped by a puzzle, it's good sound design, which this game has in spades.
Overall, it is a very good game which deserves a look if dark humor is your cup of tea - which mine certainly is.
A very involving and highly original adventure! I have to go now, my fishmoose is calling me...
