Plot
Plot
• Illustration — Amiga version gameplay screenshot The game takes place on a fictional planet called Blot. This planet was previously an inhabitable place for a race of creatures called Blotians, but they were in great danger and had to build a spaceship and search for another suitable planet. The creatures were renamed the Fuzzy Wuzzies. The spaceship they built had to land due to a collision with an asteroid, and the only planet near them was Earth. Fuzzy Wuzzies landed in the Pacific Ocean near an unknown island where they built a city and named the island “The Happiest Place in The Known Universe”. Another type of creature that is found in the game are demons. They live on the other side of the island that Fuzzy Wuzzies are living on. The characteristics of these two in-game creatures made them natural enemies. Demons invited the Fuzzy Wuzzies to a big party, captured them and locked them all up in a torture chamber. The protagonist of the game is Clyde Radcliffe, a Fuzzy Wuzzy, who left the party before the demons' capture of Fuzzy Wuzzies. The game is about the journey of Clyde Radcliffe trying to save his species from the demons' torture chambers.
