Jinxter

Jinxter is a graphical interactive-fiction adventure set in Aquatania, a land plagued by misfortune after a group of witches casts its influence over the region. Your goal is to find five charms and a magic bracelet to restore order.

The game combines a realistic world of people and situations with strange, comic twists. Characters pursue their own agendas, and winning their assistance often means finding something that benefits them. Puzzles may have multiple solutions, while the most obvious approach is not necessarily the right one.

Misfortune is a recurring theme, with hazards including being hit by a car, falling from a great height, and getting sprayed with cheese sandwich. However, a Guardian prevents you from actually dying.
