Coraline is an action-adventure game meant to be easy to play for brave fans of nearly all ages, based on the spooky film by Henry Selick, adapted from the book by Neil Gaiman. From a third-person perspective, players guide the trouble-prone young Coraline as she broods her way through the boring old real world, and then through the warm, inviting, not-quite-right Other world as well. Button-eyed Other versions of her parents and neighbors have plenty of fantastical problems that need fixing, in the strange mirror reality she has found for herself. Players must interact with these characters, solve puzzles, and complete action challenges to help Coraline find her true home. The game's graphics are inspired by the stop-motion models used in the movie.
