RemarksChris Smith started to work in the next Wally Week game in the series, but the project was abandoned. He recalls: "Some of the graphics were done (Wally asleep in the chair, the 'devil' Wally and the 'angel' Wally) - plus there were lots of graphics we could re-use. We wanted to remove as much attribute clash as possible, though, so a lot of the graphics would need to be changed to fit the attribute squares almost exactly. It had all the makings of a really, really good Wally game, bringing in something new (ok, a little like Everyones A Wally, but the gameplay was based on a different strategy). As for the name, 'Between the devil and the deep blue sea' was played with for a bit, but was a bit long. I did often just refer to it as 'The Wally Game' with people who needed to know what I was talking about. I've also got 'Hyde and Seek' scribbled on a piece of paper from around that time, I vaguely remember coming up with it, but I don't recall whether it was thought of as a good name at the time."
SummaryWally is asleep, and his conscience is out and about around the house. You can control either the 'bad Wally' or 'good Wally'. The good Wally goes around fixing things/cleaning up after the bad Wally, or the bad Wally goes around breaking/messing things up for the good Wally.
