Once upon a Möbius strip is a short point & click adventure in glorious 1-bit pixel art. It serves as a prequel to Uncle Lee strikes again, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone game as well.

You play as Ines, a 10-year-old girl who would really, REALLY, like to go the bathroom this morning—the universe, however, has other plans.

  • Right-click to look at an object.
  • The inventory can be accessed by clicking on the icon on the top right of the screen.
  • Dialogue lines can be skipped by pressing the "." (period) key.
  • Press F11 to toggle fullscreen mode.
  • The window is resizable.
