Fabulous fun! The dialogue is super sharp and funny (I laughed a ton at "tongs"), and it's a great story. I'm also impressed with how many sets you built in just a week. The car's controls being reversed when you back up threw me for a loop, though. But I would absolutely play the next part to see how it turns out!

Cursed RuinsThanks for the review! We are not tired of positive reviews yet :D.
We appreciate everyone taking the time to play, rate and comment on the game! We used Ink to write the story, great tool. Someone on the team was dedicated to writing the whole story in the first few days. After that, it's just a lot of hours of work to test how the story unfolds. The story is split in multiple little parts that we could act on to add some camera work and such.
Cheers!
Dude that is a lot of text. You really put a lot of work into the story and cutscenes. With more time and a budget I think this could become a real good game with maybe decision trees and different endings. Keep up the good work!

John Lemon can't hurt youThanks for the review! We had a team member dedicated to writing this pretty extensive story with branches. Lots of work from the whole team to keep the story coherent and add animations throughout. Tons of room to grow and, yes different endings is definitely considered for the sequel! (or an enhanced Definitive edition - Seems that's where the industry is heading these days :D )
Fun game! like the music, and definitely have to give some extra points for having a sweet muscle car in the game

Spy ConventionThank you for the feedback! We definitely had more gameplay planned for the driving sandboxes with different environments but we had to reduce scope a lot which left the driving part to only be a transition/change of pace from the dialogs. Some people do seem to enjoy it and we will definitely enhance that part if there's a sequel. We are totally thinking of at least one car chase ;)
Fun little detective game, i enjoyed it. Music gave it a film noir vibe, imo, which was neat. You guys really managed to pack a lot in here!

Real or No Real?The driving is very good. I wouldn't mind if it gets more focus on future updates. The music is great too, but the is lacking some sound effects. Even simple humming from the characters can do wonders.
Overall, great work!

Rise and gothe car driving was so much fun!!!!! The dialog and animation was created SOOO well and looked so good!!! 10/10 It just took up a lot of time compared to the game play would be the only small critique

colour jumpsActual dialogue simulator. I can see past the ocean--I knew the Earth was flat! Oh my goodness, the car is so fun and such a pain to drive at the same time. The ending-- oh, the ending...!
But oh boy... the moment I saw that you could run over traffic cones and trash cans. That moment... that was when I fell in love with this game. 11/10 will play the sequel
So I have to say this is INSANE! The dialogue system and the vehicle controller was butterly smooth! Excellent work!
