Donald Dowell and the Ghost of Barker Manor is a freeware 2D point-and-click adventure game. It features an inventory. The game can be controlled via mouse. It is available in English, Italian and Bulgarian.
Donald Dowell is an Irish retired post office employee. He is now 80 years old, bored and nagged by his wife. Thus he decides to leave home and to get a job again. He finally is hired as an assistant by the secretary of the ghost buster Bob Delano. However Bob Delano is gone missing at Barker Manor where he is investigating a ghost case. Donald Dowell is sent to Barker Manor to investigate the whereabouts of Bob Delano. The game is quite humorous and has many references to video games as well as literature, art, history and other media.
Donald is leaving his home.
