Gameplay involves navigating the game world, conversing with non-player characters, solving puzzles and gathering and using items.
Igor: Objective Uikokahonia is a graphic adventure game controlled with a point-and-click interface, in a style that has been compared to LucasArts adventure games. The player has highlighted the "Use" icon on the action list the inventory takes up the bottom of the screen. By 2019, it was Spain's longest-running game development studio. With Igor behind it, Pendulo proceeded to become a highly regarded developer in Spain via titles such as Hollywood Monsters and Runaway: A Road Adventure. It was officially released as freeware in 2007. Since its release, Igor has been cited as a landmark Spanish game, as an important stepping stone for Spanish game development and as an inspiration for other Spanish companies to create graphic adventures.
It sold well enough to encourage Pendulo to pursue game development as a profession, although the company was disappointed by the sales of the English localization. In Spain, Igor received positive reviews from magazines such as Super PC and Micromanía. The game was completed after roughly nine months. Spain's weak game industry hampered production: Pendulo's working conditions were poor, and Igor was made on a low budget below 400,000 pesetas. After securing a publishing deal, the team incorporated as Pendulo Studios and hired freelancers for the game's music and backgrounds. Part of their motivation derived from the historic nature of Igor, since a graphic adventure game of its type had never been developed in Spain. All four were fans of adventure games, and they hoped to emulate existing titles in the genre.
Igor entered development in 1993, as a part-time project between friends Ramón Hernáez, Rafael Latiegui, Felipe Gómez Pinilla and Miguel Angel Ramos. The player assumes the role of Igor and navigates the campus while collecting items, solving puzzles and conversing with non-player characters. Hoping to win her affection, Igor surmounts a series of obstacles in an effort to join her on a field trip to the island paradise of Uikokahonia. The game tells the story of Igor Parker, a university student in love with a classmate named Laura Wright. Igor: Objective Uikokahonia is a 1994 graphic adventure game developed by the Spanish company Pendulo Studios and published by DROsoft.
