Dec. 2024

This game is full of surprises! It had so many small twists in the story and aesthetics that I truly was not expecting. Its a great length for this style game and puzzles were just the right amount of challenging. The story is much different to what I expected. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would! I would die for Paul...he is so cute Highly recommended!!

Placeholder review for the Autumn Sale, but will update when I've finished the game. Surprising mix of Rusty Lake weirdness with Milo & The Magpies relaxed atmosphere (and cats).

Nov. 2024

The game Follow the meaning immediately reminded me of games by Rusty Lake (The White Door, Underground Blossom, ...). Not only with its cartoonish graphics, but also with the suspenseful music that changes according to your progress in the game. Although the game is relatively short, it offers a variety of point-and-click puzzles that will undoubtedly warm up your brain. These are not only logic puzzles, but also imaginative mini-games (picture folding or finding cats across the game world... meow!). The game's story makes one think and the monologues of the characters present do the same. Although the game is sure to captivate children with its graphics, adults may find a much deeper meaning in it. The price for the game is more than friendly and personally I can only recommend it.

Pleasant point-and-click puzzle game. Well done, just a little too short, I would have liked to stay a little longer in this strange Universe with Detective Trilby.

Nov. 2024

I played this in an evening, it's short but full of weird little puzzles I totally enjoyed. Finding all the cats is challenging, I'm still missing one. The story is brilliant and the interactions with the villagers are both confusing and enlightening. Love the graphics and the sound effects.
