Thanks for playing the game! Really appreciate the feedback. I did not have much time at the end of the jam to do playtesting that is why this puzzle turned out to be a bit rough on the edges.
I think these kind of games need a lot of playtesting to be fun and balanced. If I will continue working on this game I will definitely do that more, I can see that it is very easy to not remember or find certain clues for players.
The clues that need to be connected to deduce the identity of the skull:
- The fox in the first painting said he is always reading books about magical artifacts
- The fox in the first painting has a crown
- The skull in the second painting has a crown
- The painting of the chicken says that "the skull" was looking for some magical artifact and that he learned the location from his father
- One thing that might not be completely clear is that the skull was a king (not a prince), I should have made that clear
- This one is more of an assumption: If a father is a certain animal his children also are the same animal
The above clues should make it possible to answer the identity of the skull. I agree that this is the most difficult and most unclear puzzle of the game, sorry for that. Let me know if you want more information to find the answer.
