Technical Information

Developer: CrazyBunch
Publisher: Assemble Entertainment
Release Date: October 23, 2020

The first thing you need to know about this game is that it’s a sequel to Wet Dreams Don’t Dry.
The second is that you don’t need to play the first game to understand this one (I didn’t play it, and it was smooth!). Right at the beginning, there’s a recap.

This game is a point-and-click adventure where Larry is looking for Faith, the love of his life.
And a series of wacky situations starts happening as he tries to figure out where she is.

Final Considerations – Analyzing the Work as a Whole

Graphics and UI

Despite the cut-out animation style (which I personally didn’t like), I found it very well done.
The illustrations are real showstoppers, and almost all the scenery has some kind of sexual reference, most of them in a really funny way. It’s impossible not to find humor here.

The UI is very functional and straightforward for anyone who’s already used to playing point-and-click games.
You have an inventory, you can combine items, and interact with characters and other objects.

One thing I didn’t like is that, in a certain part of the game, when you select an item, you need to click the inventory button again to be able to use it. I believe this is a bug, but I’m not entirely sure, because in that section the whole atmosphere of the game changes.

Soundtrack and Sound Effects

The music isn’t anything special. I didn’t find it memorable, but it does its job well in setting the mood.
On the other hand, I feel obliged to praise the voice acting! All dialogues are fully voiced, which makes the game feel much more immersive and charismatic.

Gameplay

Wet Dreams Dry Twice has a different vibe compared to the earlier Larry games.
I’d say the humor style was adapted for modern times, managing to make funny jokes (okay, some not so much) without putting women on a pedestal. In fact, I was really happy with how female sexuality was handled in such a natural way. Games usually target men, and thankfully this one manages to approach the theme in a more balanced way, making it enjoyable for a female audience as well (at least it was for me).

Despite the strong focus on sexual humor, Larry himself has a very innocent aura, which gives the story a softer tone. If you have a minimum level of perception, you’ll also notice subtle criticisms of certain social behaviors, delivered through intelligent humor.

I really enjoyed the references to the first Leisure Suit Larry game and Space Quest. There are also other pop culture references, and possibly references to other games that I didn’t notice! hahaha

The story is bursting with creativity! It took me about 25 hours to finish, but I spent a lot of time stuck in certain sections (and needed a guide to get out of them).
The beginning of the game is very easy and intuitive, but later on some puzzles become far less obvious. I got stuck at least four times. Some puzzles are very easy, while others are quite complex.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to control dialogues once they start, as they continue until the character finishes speaking. You’ll have many conversations that can only be seen once, which is a negative point, so play calmly!

Some bugs occurred, but nothing that compromised the game’s progression.
All the bugs I encountered were related to the UI, dialogues, or overlapping images.

Replayability and Game Retention

I really enjoyed the game and stayed hooked from start to finish, not so much because of curiosity about the ending, but because it’s genuinely fun to play.
That said, it’s the kind of game I’ll probably only play once, and then revisit after a long time.
There are achievements to unlock, but I’ll admit I didn’t have the patience to unlock them all (maybe on the next run… who knows?).
