This action-adventure game with puzzles follows Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, whose parents die in a fire. The orphans are sent to live with their sinister uncle, Count Olaf, and must stop him and his henchmen from taking the family fortune. In Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, the player tackles 15 missions, ranging from catacombs beneath Olaf’s mansion to the gloomy shores of Lake Lachrymose.
The player can switch between the three siblings and use their individual abilities. Violet collects household items and assembles them into devices for solving puzzles and fighting, while Klaus uses found objects to battle Olaf’s minions. Sunny bites through obstacles with her sharp teeth.

Reviews and ratings
Despite the fact that the game was based on a film, it also turned out quite well. The plot copies the film with minor extensions, because the gameplay needs to be lengthened. We will play for all 3 children in turn, depending on the situations: Violet - invents all sorts of devices, Sunny - chews up everything in her path and, due to her size, can get through where her brother and sister cannot get through, Klaus - a well-read guy, who comes up with the very inventions that Violet makes. The gameplay is a series of levels where you need to find something, turn it, break it, fix it, etc. The process itself is very interesting, and the game is completed quickly, without having time to get bored.
Несмотря на то, что игра сделана по фильму, она вышла тоже неплохой. Сюжет копирует фильм с небольшими расширениями, ведь надо удлинить геймплей. Играть будем за всех 3-х детей по очереди, в зависимости от ситуаций: Вайолет — изобретает всякие приспособления, Солнышко — сгрызает все на своем пути и в силу размера может пролезть там, где не пролезут ее брат и сестра, Клаус — начитанный парень, который придумывает те самые изобретения, которые мастерит Вайолет. Геймплей представляет собой череду уровней, на которых надо что-то найти, повернуть, сломать, исправить и т.д. Сам процесс очень интересен, да и проходится игра быстро, не успев надоесть.
