  • Incredible presentation and writing that did make me chuckle a few times. The theme doesn't really shine through this submission, but the game itself is more than promising!

Yep

Short puzzle-adventure game about a spreading evil that must be stopped. Not necessarily by you

Absolutely hilarious. Not much to say other than the writing was flawless. Took me a while to get the 'fridge' part of the puzzle design, but the writing was just so good it carries it anyways. Good luck!!!

Very nice game! The artstyle is charming and the intro music is very fitting, setting the detective-game mood very well. Control is simple enough and it's seem bug-freed, as I played through the entire without much trouble. I think the theme "It's spreading" is a bit stretching for the game though (not that it matter after the jam anyway). Also, the dog detective dialogue is really insufferable so if it the intended design you probably got it.

thank you! we could've gone a little harder on the themeing but i feel confident it's still well-represented.

and haha, yeah, Fang is supposed to be horrible, which makes it all the more satisfying when he receives comeuppance from the other characters.
