There is also a separate Writer's Cut option with more text and dialogue, available for both modes.

The game can be played in an easy Casual mode or the Hard more with more puzzles. A separate action is available to highlight all hotspots in the environment. There is also a todo list as an inventory item where quests are tracked. Items can be picked up and are stored in an inventory where they can be combined or used in the environment. When hovering over a character or object, usually one or two options are provided: to examine and to interact. Next to the familiar Monkey Island and Mêlée Island there are entirely new locations such as Brr Muda and Terror Island.Ī classic point-and-click interface is used to experience the story, talk to characters and solve puzzles. Many characters from all titles return in this game, such as Stan the salesman, Otis, Wally the map maker, the Voodoo Lady and Murray the talking skull, but also many new characters. Mêlée island has also changed, with Carla the swordmaster as the new governor, Elaine advocating social and health issues, and a new pirate leadership refusing to fund Guybrush's venture. The adventure is divided in several parts and starts on Mêlée Island where Guybrush, reprised by Dominic Amato, once again finds himself without a ship and crew to travel to Monkey Island. A short prelude explains the ending of the previous game, why this title is told as a flashback and an optional scrapbook available in the main menu is provided with a brief history of the events of all games. This game focuses on the series' protagonist Guybrush Threepwood as he sets out to finally reveal the secret of the Monkey Island. However, it also incorporates and acknowledges the characters and events from later titles such as The Curse of Monkey Island (1997), Escape from Monkey Island (2000) and Tales of Monkey Island (2009). It has the original creator Ron Gilbert back at the helm and picks up directly after the events of that game. Return to Monkey Island is a point-and-click adventure and a direct sequel to Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991).
