From a glance, the main character reminds me of Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island II, but that could just be me.

Having actually played the game, if anything it vaguely reminded me of the Lucas Arts Indiana jones series. Operative word here is "vaguely."

It's a stand alone game, just not an amazingly good one. But seeing as it's being compared to some of the greats it had a hell of a lot to live up to. I liked it well enough

What I meant was the sprites for the character, not the personality.

I can see what you mean Oak, the standing face on pose looks very similar.

Remember in MI2 you have to gather the remains of LC's bodyparts? Also remember the ending and the beggining of the game? They are exactly the same. Also not forget, that the VoodooLady leads you through the game here too.
This game is Monkey Island 2 in an investigator-costume, with nonsensical puzzles and some crazy gore.

The only moment I liked was the Maniac Mansion reference (the nuclear swimmingpool).

I'd finally got off my duff to play this game. I found a walkthrough on the internet and started playing. I had to have my dosbox cycles to 10000 in order for the game not to crash. I finished it and it wasn't bad. I wonder since it was a shareware game how much was the price for the full game?
