This is absolutely hilarious! Great pixel graphics, excellent puzzles and a brilliant voice-over to boot. I love the humor, too. Only got stuck once at the beginning of the Otto puzzle. It was clear what this was about, but it took me a moment to understand how to do it. Definitely my favourite puzzle from the game.
I had a lot of fun with it. The fact that this very polished game was developed in just two weeks for a jam makes it even more impressive.
Thanks :) I could have implemented that puzzle a bit better but of all the puzzles I've ever designed, it's definitely my favorite.
And to think that I added it at the last minute. Otto was just going to be a decoration, until I posted a screenshot and someone on discord said "is the skull going to talk?" and that's how he was born :D
Whoever suggested that deserves a medal. Or even better, a badge that says:
ASK ME ABOUT OTTO
The visuals and presentation of this is excellent, bringing back that nostalgic P&C vibes. Very fun to play, I love it! 5 stars from me!
Being complimented on visuals by you, given how great your game looks, is definitely an honor. Thanks a lot!
As was to be expected this was an immensely enjoyable entry! The lovely handcrafted animations, the stellar voice acting and the great writing make this three-parter of an substitution puzzle an absolute blast. Just the right amount of signposting led me to be only stuck once with the bookcase but after I figured it out, this puzzle was enjoyable and very funny as well. Some things were a bit obvious (like the stones) but this is half an hour of very funny entertainment! Bonus points for a talking skull! Hope we will one day solve the mystery of the servants name!
Thanks for your comment! I could have made the bookcase puzzle a bit less obscure but I would have needed more time to implement it the way I originally envisioned, and I had to choose between improving a single puzzle or having voice acting. I feel I made the right choice :D voices were really great
absolutely the right choice, the VA really brings the game to another level completely!
Got a very loved old point'n'click vibe here. Cool art, good humor, fun writing and voice acting. Remembered the days when played lots of games like this for hours, grown on them! Maybe, shall do one some day (when tired of experiments)... Thanks for this, polished enough and is highly enjoyable!
Thanks :) I'm a big old school p&c game fan, so I'm glad you got those vibes!
Excellent game, as usual. Love how your puzzles are original (even if I spent way too much time on the dungeon door one :D).
Great humor and excellent characterization. Overall, one of my favorite games so far!
Thanks! The dungeon puzzle is probably the best puzzle I've ever designed :D with a bit more time I would have implemented it a bit differently (a bit more fair maybe) but I loved the idea in itself
A wonderful game! Funny writing, some clever puzzles and great voice acting. Excellent job!
Thanks a lot :) I'll always be thankful to the actors, they really elevated the whole project
The riddle with the books enraged me. But I still managed to pass. This game is great. A huge job of developers and voice actors. It sounded like they were professional announcers. It's my favorite right now.
Enraged is a worrying word :P I hope it was that kind of "fun" frustration all adventure games give. Most of the actors are professionals indeed, and those who aren't - well, they aren't yet. They sure have the talent and capabilities to :)
That was awesome! You got a lot of content in there. Very funny stuff, and the voice acting was great!
Thanks :) I couldn't be happier with the voice acting, I'm always worried that my writing is more appropriate for reading but it turned out that the comedic timing was perfect, the actors made a very very good job
I get excited when I see the GuGames screen before a game because I know I'm about to have a great time. This was no exception. The puzzles were so much fun and the characters were hilarious. A very well made game with great animations and voice acting. Like always, fantastic job!
It's flattering that you associate my name with a good time. The reason I make games is that I love to make people have fun, and your comment makes me very happy, thanks
Well done as usual. Really good job making puzzles that are actually reasonably challenging with so few rooms.
Thanks :) I actually find it easier to give more purpose to each room, for my full game I often feel that the rooms are "empty", as if I'm not justifying their existence and I could merge the tasks / hotspots of more rooms into one. The 14-day format forces me instead to make less rooms and I'm happy to cram as much content as I can in them :P
This was an absolute pleasure to play. Very impressive scope for 2 weeks. Art and animation is great, puzzles are unique and just challenging enough to keep you hooked. The book puzzle had me stumped for a little while. Characters are well-written with funny jokes, and the voice acting really takes it to the next level, I’m glad you got those in. Really great job, Guga!
Oh and the horse’s name is a nice touch! ;)
Thanks Dan :) my experience with PowerQuest allows me to be very quick in implementing.
And the horse name, I just had to do it :P too bad the horse isn't in great shape...
A great, well-designed, fun game - with vampires!
As usual I loved the graphic style and the humor - and the voice-acting adds a lot to an already nice game - congratulations :-)
Thanks Marco :) I'm amazed by what the voice actors did, they really brought the characters to life. Now I feel compelled to go for voice acting in the next jam too!
5/5 across the board. Loved the characters, the puzzles and the art. Great work!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it :)
Great work. It's a 5 stars game for me. Funny, clever and atmospheric. Bellissimo.
Thanks a lot! And I know that with "bellissimo" you're not referring to me but I'll pretend you are :P
One of the best games I've played so far during the Jam; great work on the characters and humour within the game I loved the first puzzle with the clock too.
Thanks! I always try to add something new in every jam game, and the clock puzzle helped me play around with a few Unity components :) glad you liked it
