That's my second 5 stars!

It's an awesome work, really beuatiful, music and sound effects awesome.

Developer

Thank you for playing

Really cool! I'm a fan of both genres (noir + point and click adventure games) and you did a great job with the atmosphere and design. No Sierra online type unfair fail-states, just a nice, chilled treasure hunt. Loved it all the way to the end.

Can't think of much to improve upon, it was all very polished. The sudden cut-scene was slightly jarring, thought I'd been discovered!

Loved the dials for the audio settings. Great work. One other thing (as Columbo might say) - I actually loved the fact there was no HUD. Was very immersive. Maybe just an auto-hiding button or something in a discreet location on screen to bring up the Inventory.

Developer

Thank you for playing! And thanks for your feedback. We have tweaked that cutscene a bit to be less confusing.

One of my favorites in the gameJam ! I loved the aesthetic, I think you should continue with this idea, I would love to hear more :)

Nice gameplay, beautiful visuals, beautiful sound. Just a very beautiful game overall.

Developer

Wow, thank you very much..

Wow! I completed this quite quickly and wanted more!

Loved the styling, loved the little nods to the theme when exploring. Once I bothered to read the games page and saw you use tab for inventory I would have to say everything worked flawlessly.

Great project, this really should be made into a full game!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, also glad you found the easter eggs.. Bucky will definitely return in future adventures..

Developer

Thank you! We are currently working on getting a HUD up

Very nice style of game. And a great idea adding the ability to alter lighting levels :).
I can see this expanding into a much fuller game with more time. 
Well done!

Developer

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it.. Bucky will definitely be back in future adventures..

Developer

Thank you! The brightness adjustment was really a side-effect of me having two screens and the game was virtually unplayable on the one because it was too dark.

Amazing project! Would love to see more of it in the future. The aesthetics are just eye catching. Sad that you ran out of time but the game looks promising. Nice job!!!

Developer

Thank you so much

Developer

Thank you!

Wonderful game!!  You are saying some cut scenes are missing because you didn't have enough time.  Please, make them!  Expand your game when the jam ends and publish it!!

Thank you! I’ve had the idea of making this style of game for the last year or so. When we were deciding what to do for the jam, ANRQAngel said we should do something like that. So, technically this was a little ‘proof of concept’ of what I had in mind for the future. We’ve already started finishing the cutscenes (they take so much time) and Bucky Jones will certainly be back with more adventures!

I have not finished this game yet.  (I did get killed!)  I will play again tomorrow!

So cool! I like the theme and the design is very ambitious for a game jam. You got a lot done in 2 weeks, well done.

Developer

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, we were a little ambitious. Once things started to fall into place, we had to make it work. I can’t tell you how many times I just played the intro and looked at it…

Edit Talking about ambitious, We planned voice-over for all the narrative, which we also didn’t have time for. Most of the narrative in the game includes code to play an audio clip if one is available.

Graphics unlikely high. Music fits the time and place. The mood is awesome. Only thing is, that I found the order of things to be sometimes illogical...also the timer didn't really tell me what to do, get out or walk on..etc. But that doesn't change that this is a crafted masterpiece. Found no gold though.

Developer

Thanks for your comment, figuring out what to do next is part of the fun.. also, have you found any of the easter eggs?

Developer

Thank you! Sadly, we ran out of time and some cutscenes are missing. It will all wrap up nicely (I hope) when all the cutscenes are in.

Thanks for your comment regarding the timer. The ‘developer knowledge’ blinded us to the lack of information there. I though Bucky’s narrative about waking the neighbors may be enough.

I really enjoyed the music in this game
