Help the magician turned thief turned werewolf Lucas MacGuffin sneak and smash his way through this fiendishly addictive comedy-puzzle-adventure!!

When fugitive magician Lucas MacGuffin bungles a museum robbery, he finds himself magically bound to an ancient amulet, up against a city in full high-tech security lockdown, and suddenly dealing with the worst body hair problems he’s ever had. Not exactly his best day.

As a human, Lucas is agile and cunning, but as a Wolf Lucas, he would rather smash anything in his way. Only by transforming between the two forms and cleverly utilizing both sets of skills will he stand any chance of lifting his curse, and with the city’s most powerful billionaire after his blood, a jaded Private Investigator on his (now-literal) tail and the rent long overdue, he’ll need every ounce of ingenuity he can manage.

Do you have what it takes to help Lucas in the quirky, point-and-click adventure? Find out when MacGuffin’s Curse smashes onto Nintendo Switch on March 15!
