Heir of the Dog is a hilariously British point & click adventure. After drinking his uncle's secret formula, Cummerbund Bandersnatch undergoes a monsterous transformation.  Discover the darker side of Victorian London in this British point & click comedy adventure.

After a mysterious explosion over Victorian London, Cummerbund Bandersnatch (a likeable, if dim-witted twit) visits his uncle's laboratory and discovers an experimental new formula guaranteeing a "good time" for whoever drinks it.
