The Henry Stickmin Collection

The Henry Stickmin Collection is a definitive compilation of six comedic, choice-driven adventure games created by Marcus Bromander (PuffballsUnited) and published by Innersloth. Originally popular Flash games, the collection features fully remastered versions of the first five titles and introduces a massive, brand-new final chapter, Completing the Mission, to conclude the series' epic narrative.

The Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Mechanics

The gameplay style is a unique twist on the point-and-click adventure genre, best described as a "choose-your-own-path" cinematic experience. At critical junctures in the animation, the player is presented with a set of outlandish options (e.g., Teleporter, Disguise, Wrecking Ball).

• Fails as Comedy: Choosing an option results in one of two outcomes. The majority of outcomes are immediate, hilarious fails—short, self-contained animated sequences featuring slapstick comedy, absurd physics, and numerous internet and pop culture references. The game not only encourages players to experience every failure but rewards them for doing so.

• Success and Branching Paths: The correct choice moves the story forward. A key feature is the non-linear, highly branching narrative. Unlike many similar games, successful choices often open up completely different plotlines within the same game, leading to multiple, distinct endings.

The Six-Part Epic

The collection chronicles the increasingly ridiculous life of the stick-figure protagonist, Henry Stickmin, as he evolves from a petty thief into a major player in global conflict:

1. Breaking the Bank (BtB): Henry's initial, ill-fated attempt at bank robbery.

2. Escaping the Prison (EtP): His subsequent, successful breakout from West Mesa Penitentiary.

3. Stealing the Diamond (StD): Henry's pursuit of the highly valuable Tunisian Diamond.

4. Infiltrating the Airship (ItA): The turning point where Henry can choose to align with the Government or the powerful criminal syndicate, the Toppat Clan.

5. Fleeing the Complex (FtC): Henry's escape from the highly secure Russian prison known as "The Wall," often alongside new ally Ellie Rose.

6. Completing the Mission (CtM): The grand finale, which takes every possible ending from Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex and combines them into over a dozen wildly different, canonical final routes. Depending on choices made across the previous games, Henry may end up as a government agent (working with the beloved helicopter pilot Charles Calvin), the powerful leader of the Toppat Clan, or an independent operative.

The Henry Stickmin Collection is celebrated for its incredible replay value, sharp, irreverent humor, and the sheer volume of meticulously animated choices, solidifying its status as a cult classic of interactive comedy.
