About this game

Everyone's a Wally is an arcade adventure in which players complete a day's work for a group of characters, each with a task suited to their profession. Wally begins the game and can switch to Wilma, Tom, Dick, or Harry after locating them. Herbert, the family's baby son, appears as a mobile hazard.

Characters outside the player's control wander around the map using simple AI. Each character has separate lives and endurance, but the game ends if any character dies. Completing a character's job awards a letter; collecting the full set reveals the password needed to open a safe containing everyone's wages.

Key features

  • Multiple playable characters with character switching based on exploration.
  • Independent lives and endurance for each character.
  • AI-controlled characters that roam the game world.
  • Profession-based objectives, including building a wall and returning books to the library.
  • A letter-collecting puzzle leading to the safe's password.
