I really loved this game, the graphics staight away made me think of DOTT, the characters remind me of the wii's mii people. I got stuck trying to heat the coffee, but it was my own fault for not exploring everything. Very polished and a wonderfully forfilling ending. Well done for getting it done in 2 weeks.
Cool looking game! I got all three fish. By the time I caught the third one, it was very dark, and I could hardly see a thing, which added great realism! I had to search for a light source to replenish my health on the way back to camp, which created a fantastic atmosphere. In the end, I had all three fish but didn’t seem to be able to do anything else. Was there something else I was supposed to do?
Thank you for playing Anna, It was meant to be a running joke that the two journalists where never doing any work, always drinking and smoking, but due to time restraints it didn't get written that way. If you ask about the id in the newsroom, he does tell you that he left it in the bar and in the bar he tells you it's on the table so they were set up slightly different. There are a few bugs, here and there, when collecting the id, but it is playable to the end.
Well done on making such a polished game, but looking at your other games that you have made, It seems to be something that you are very good at. When I first started, I had a flash back to the game North vs South, charging around guns a blazing, unfortunately I was very good at it.

I went back and played again, I found my approach had been all wrong, I went into trying to kill all the armies, In fact you just need to discover them, A true spying game! I love it. I would like controller support in an update.
Thank you for playing and the feedback. In the end I was rushing, so I had to decide between only full screen or 2 different resolutions, I went with the later, due to streamers preferring windowed games in my experience. Again due to time limits not as much to click on as I would have hoped, I wanted an inventory system and lots of items as well as lots of things to look at and interactive with. In the meeting in the office, you are completely free to choose any response you feel like, you will still get the information you need and advance to the next scene, it's just a play-through style choice. I totally agree pixel art fonts are not easy reading and I will definitely look to address this.
Thank you for playing, the semaphore puzzle is solved by manually directing the light in the direction you hear the bell ringing out of the window, thus illuminating the boat and a semaphore signal, collect all 4 noting the symbol on the window of each and use the chart on the wall to gain the code to unlock the box on the lower floor. I hope that helps.
This is an amazing game, the story telling is deep and captivating from the get go. The sounds, music and art all combine well to delivery a perfect atmosphere for the world. Nice touches with the references to PCD and the time constraints of the AdvJam. Voice acting was on point. Well done on making this in only two weeks.
I was planning on watching The Thing again soon, this game has made me push it to the top of my list. I love the suspense you create. The music was fantastic, it felt like it was building the tension, but it stopped after the introduction and I could start to explore, so with just a few sound effects it lost something that had really hooked me. The map was a bit of a learning curve and could have been made to function in a simpler way. But those points aside it's a great story and delivery, well done.
Another amazing game by The Argonauts, you guys really come up with the most wonderful ideas every time. For this reason I wanted to do something different myself, but maybe strayed a little to far. Your sound design and art are as always great, I just wish you used some of the fantastic voice talent available because it would add another layer to your games. The flashlight was of particular interest as I saw you had shared it on the discord. I'm thinking of how i can incorporate it in my next game as I liked it so much. For me this is a true point and click adventure game, and it's the gold standard that we should all be aiming to. Well done to you all.
