Foolish Mortals is the debut project of the indie Inklingwood Studios. The game is a two-dimensional point-and-click adventure game, telling the story of a search for lost treasure, which is teeming with ghosts and other supernatural phenomena.

Plot

The action is set in 1933. Its main character is Murphy McCallan, who has become obsessed with a treasure supposedly hidden in the Bellemore mansion, located on Devil's Rock - an island near the coast of Louisiana (USA). According to rumors, the house is haunted by the ghosts of wedding guests who disappeared many years ago under circumstances that are still unexplained.

Murphy McCallan sets out for Devil's Rock and becomes convinced that the rumors were true. Significantly, however, the apparitions do not seem to mind the fact that they have died. In addition, the hero notices that a certain sinister wraith has awakened along with them, and wants to get the treasure first at all costs. Everything indicates that finding it will require finding out what happened at the Bellemore mansion many years ago.
