Oh. It was supposed to be a sparkling sound effect, but something must be wrong…. I’m sorry.
Thank you a lot for playing and for the feedback!
Haha this is delightful. Jokes hit the spot and it's just playful enough to not be offensive. Reminds me of 90s style stuff, I was specifically thinking of the old gobliiins games from the art and animations. The metal gear style cutscene at the end is also a nice touch. I bet Kitty was in on it, for a human, she's pretty suspicious.
Yes, i do not know what it is, but something does not add up with her….
Thank you a lot for playing, and for your comment!
I had a wonderful time playing it! This game is awesome!
Thank you very much!
I liked the investigation in this game, the animation was smooth like a bald mans head!
Thanks a lot!
I really dig the art stye and the absurd setting and humour! It was an enjoyable time!
Great job!
Thank you for playing, and for your comment! Glad you enjoyed it!
I really love the humour in this game and how in just a few lines of dialogue you managed to establish the characters.
The art really works well for this game and I am really impressed that this was a single person project!
As a French person though... 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠 /j :P
Thank you a lot for playing!
I did not make the music and sound effects, just some mix and cuts, but nevertheless was a fair amount of work, yes.
As for the French thing, i went for the most overused clichés so that it would get an eye roll instead of being offensive, like a type of banter. I hope i succeeded ^_^
LOVE the quirky humour, art style, and absurd angle of your game! Katherine/Kitty was my fave character, haha. The execution of the story was simple but effective, and I very much enjoyed it!
Thank you a lot for playing! I am glad you enjoyed it!
I had a lot of fun with this absurd story, the dialogues are awesome!! The art is also impressive, I love how crispy clean everything is.
I'm just not sure I reached the end of the game because of the "?" after "The end" and the fact that the cursor indicates something is clickable. And I'm also not sure if there's only one end or if I could have gotten a better end by playing differently.
Thanks for yet another tasty game :)
Thanks a lot for playing!
Yes, you have reached the one and only end there is. The "?" at the end is because the “cut scene” implies there might be something else after, with the “mysterious agency” behind the incident and whatnot—like a second part or something in a next game. The cursor thing is a bug that when i woke up this morning realized was very easy to fix, but yesterday could not get rid of….
Style reminds me of older web comics/comic strip style comedy and I think that really works here! I think most of the jokes land, and I was surprised to see how much dialogue was there when you poked at it. I wish the 'puzzles' were a bit better telegraphed but it didnt take me long enough that it was an actual issue. Also wish the audio was a bit better but all in all a very solid project!
Thank you a lot for playing the game, and for you comment!
Not only the audio—i wish everything was a bit better. ^_^
