Night of the Hermit (NOTH) is a video fangame based on the Monkey Island series, which was developed and released in free download format by the Israeli developer Roy Lazarovich for Microsoft Windows. It was created with Adventure Game Studio.
As of 2005, the game received more than 24000 downloads.[1]
Storyline
The story revolves around Herman Toothrot, an eccentric hermit who lives on Monkey Island, who is a side character in the original Monkey Island series.
The game begins with Herman receiving a message in a bottle that his grandfather died and left him a mansion on the Badger Island. However, upon arriving on the island, he finds out that the mansion has already been made into a motel called Crippled Badger Motel. Now it is up to Herman to reclaim what's rightfully his.
Lazarovich said:
Herman seemed like a very interesting character to me. I thought it would be fun to get into his shoes. I figured he was getting kind of lonely on the island and would probably appreciate a change of scenery. I do not think my game is anywhere near the original games, and I never tried to shoot for that. It is simply a game made by a fan for the fans.[1]
Reception
A review by Home of the Underdogs gave the game 7.64 out of 10, praising the game's storyline and music, but criticizing the graphics and overly complicated puzzles.[2]
