Thunder Clappers: The Laxative Adventure

Not all treasure trails lead to gold—sometimes they just lead to a field and a whole lot of thunder!

Step into the boots of a rugged, yet hilariously naive member of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery in the 1800s. As your journey unfolds across the untamed wilderness, you and your fellow explorers grapple with not just the challenges of uncharted territory, but also the continual threat of being completely 'bound up' due to a diet that could make a stomach rebel. Your primary mission: to find more of Dr. Rush's infamous 'bilious pills'—a.k.a. 'thunder clappers'—to ensure that the expedition endures the discomforts of a low-fiber life while documenting your possible encounters with Native Americans, wildlife, and the occasional renegade scientific discovery. Side quests abound as you collect bizarre remedies, engage with strange characters, and navigate through the comedic chaos of early American medicine.
