The Feeble Files

The Feeble Files is a 1997 adventure video game developed and published by Adventure Soft for Microsoft Windows, and republished by MacPlay for Macintosh in 2001 in Europe and 2002 in the United States. The game is a comedic science fiction title in which players assume the role of Feeble, an alien tasked with burning crop circles across the galaxy. Adventure Soft began development of the game after seeking different subject matter to their Simon the Sorcerer series of adventure games. The studio pivoted to 3D computer graphics, creating animations using Silicon Graphics hardware. Drawing from science fiction literature and television as inspiration, the studio hired Red Dwarf actor Robert Llewelyn to provide voice acting for the titular protagonist. Upon release, The Feeble Files received a generally positive reception, with reviewers praising the game's writing, sense of humor and performances, and criticism directed at its puzzle design, difficulty and interface. Some reviewers of the Mac version remarked that the game's visuals had dated poorly by the time of release. The game was republished for GOG.com in December 2008.
