This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of a Russian stacking doll on a quest to save its family. As players explore each turn-of-the-20th-Century–themed environment, they solve puzzles by stacking dolls of various sizes to enhance abilities (i.e., Hi-Jinks). Players can use Hi-Jinks abilities (e.g., Boxing Glove, Cork Gun, Glove Slap) to hit other doll characters; attacks are accompanied by whacking/thudding sound effects. Some Hi-Jinks include bathroom humor: emitting green clouds of flatulence; sneezing to cover characters in green mucous; vomiting cookies to stain nearby walls. The dialogue sometimes references suggestive material (e.g., "A voyeur at heart, Joe has found that possessing a camera legitimizes his unsavory gawking and penchant for stalking fair ladies."); a female character's Seduce ability makes male dolls follow her around. The game also includes a depiction of a doll character smoking a pipe.
