Think <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/10/cave-story-music-inspired-by-polka/"><em>Cave Story</em></a> meets Metroidvania with an Indiana Jones theme and the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/16/the-5-most-difficult-nes-games/">difficulty level ramped up three or four notches</a>. It's a long adventure filled with mysterious puzzles, dangerous temples, and tense exploration. It's frustrating at times, but boy is it fun.<br /><br />Until now, clueless adventurers have had only a <a href="http://files.myopera.com/White%20Knell/lamulana/index.html">translated item/location guide</a> to go by. Now, thanks to DeceasedCrab and a little YouTube magic, a complete video walkthrough of <em>La-Mulana</em> has been released. There are more than 50 videos containing over seven hours of hand-holding spoilers and cheesy narration. Each video walks you through a specific part of the game, so do yourself a favor and only start watching when you're stuck.<br /><br /><a href="http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=lamulana">Download the game</a> and English translation patch courtesy of Aeon Genesis.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://indygamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/la-mulana-video-walkthrough.html">Independent Gaming</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/03/la-mulana-video-walkthrough-released/">Video walkthrough released for freeware adventure La-Mulana</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 03 May 2007 16:45:00 EST.
