I always wanted to do a self-drawn game, as well as an adventure point-and-click. Hand drawn as quick sketches, then scanned into the computer, and then re-done in the computer paint programs, this one was an experience. Not sure it's an experience I'd do again, but I'm glad that it finished.
It also was the first try at a real puzzle game, and as such, I am super interested in hearing what works and what doesn't.
The Shakespeare play that it is very thinly based on is actually five: the five "Problem Plays" of the Bard's portfolio, and it also kind of ties all of the past Stick Figure Paper Shakespeare games together.
The game uses a new, more simplistic version of Army of Tentacles' Argument System, for a combo of puzzles and word battles. We might be using this in the future, but with a version that is a bit more buffed up.
So, enjoy.
A 100% free adventure set in the North Pole, a few months before the holiday of Saturnalia. It is a time when all the hidden and magical creatures of world spread joy to humankind in the form of gifts and toys that seemingly randomly appear. Led by the High Fae, Klaus, this has been tradition for generations.
Until now.
With one week to go, Klaus has just up and left.... leaving the creatures of the North Pole in charge of getting everything ready. Where did they go? Why now? But most importantly: who will win the annual Best Hot Chocolate award? That's actually the least important question, we just wanted to put that in there.
Also: dating sim aspects. If that's important to you. There's only an international crisis going on. You've got time.
