Hi students, As you might have seen in the Wholesome Games showcase today, we have just announced our next game: Duck Detective!! Suspects, set-ups and sausages - Duck Detective is a charming short-form mystery that allows you to investigate freely and is inspired by The Case of the Golden Idol, Return to the Obra Dinn and ducks in general.
This is a shorter form game coming out next year, while we continue to work on our bigger projects! You play as Eugene McQuacklin, the Duck Detective himself, as he works to crack the case with the help of your supreme powers of deduc(k)tion. Inspect and interview suspects to learn their hidden secrets, then use the information youve gathered (plus your own de-duck-tive reasoning) to locate the suspect and bust the case wide open!
Coming to Steam in 2024, please give it a wishlist if you like what you see! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2637990/ Can't wait to show you more soon! ~the Happy Broccoli team

Broccoli Girl is one of the most popular students at Kraken Academy, probably because she is the drummer in the school band. She is very sweet and caring, but can sometimes be a bit too intense when she won't stop talking about her ex. Now she can be your friend too with this limited edition plush!

Our publisher, Fellow Traveller is an indie games label publishing innovative story-driven games. Their newest game, The Invisible Hand is out today! The Invisible Hand is a satirical take on stock market trading, where youll be empowered to pursue wealth and success at the cost of everything else, in a story of finance and personal responsibility. You begin the game on your very first day at the trading firm FERIOS, a brokerage where they turn a blind eye to breaking the rules as long as you deliver results. Profit is what matters and the rules dont apply to winners. Plenty of others want your position, so its up to you to make money, at any cost. [previewyoutube=OEExFFgiaFM;full][/previewyoutube] Congrats on your new job, and welcome to FERIOS. It's time to make some money. Buy the stocks going up, sell before they go down. Short the ones that are going to fall (or the ones youre going to make fall). The more money you make, the bigger your commission. And you want that commission, don't you? Well dont worry, the rewards are limitless, if youre hungry enough.
Were one big happy team here at Ferios and nothing brings the team together like competition. So in the spirit of togetherness you better meet your daily profit targets and beat your coworkers results if you want to keep your job. We wont hesitate to fire anyone who cant or wont do what it takes to succeed... Purchase The Invisible Hand on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/628200/The_Invisible_Hand/

Hello and welcome to the March edition of the Academy Newsletter! This is what weve been working on this month! Development Annika has been writing the dates! This means you will be able to take Broccoli Girl to the newly opened water park, go with Simona to the movies and take Vladimir out to a market fair. (This is how Broccoli Girl looks like in a swimsuit :D)
We also finished writing the side quests and we really love how theyve come together, cant wait to show them to the world!! There will be an unusual family reunion, an uprising of the machines and youll have to help write a love letter, just to name a few.
Joni has implemented the final scenes of the game, including the final boss battles and has been pottering about the Drama club, fixing up things here and there. Sneak peek of the Drama Club area:
Character Intros This month weve introduced Ana and the Players Mom! Ana is a clumsy art student who makes sculptures. She loves her grandma very much and writes her letters every week. Shes voiced by Lizzie Freeman!
The players mom is a single mother. Although she does her best, you can tell that your sister is the favourite child. She takes care of your belongings while you're away in boarding school, which results in her selling half of your N69 games and comics. Voiced by Nola Klop!
Merch After being stuck in customs for over 3 weeks, the Broccoli Girl pins have finally arrived!!! There will be a chance to win one closer to release, join our Discord if you want to know more :D
We started sending merch to all collaborators in the game: voice over actors, artists, etc. Our printer stopped working so we had to label every envelope by hand D: was a lot of fun though!
Casting call We just announced our latest casting call!! This time our open roles range from lovely grandma to vampire drama teacher :D You can apply here until the 7th of April.
Events Were part of IWOCon which is now live until the 2nd of April, and its been so much fun so far!! Oh and we were also nominated for the Valencia Indie Awards :) So much going on at the moment!! Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Discord for the latest news! :D

We've made some neat updates to our game over Autumn. We just couldn't wait to release them so we've transferred over some of the awesomeness to the steam demo! Our fantastic sound designer, Damion, began work so some of his amazing sound effects are now in -Hinges on doors have been oiled and now sound extra smooth, along with a bunch of new, crunchy sfx! We're slowly overhauling the user interface for the game from it's current dark theme, to a much more colourful and stripped down look - it's only in progress, but it brings a lot of life to the game already. We'd love to know what you think! We're participating in IndieX, Portugal's biggest indie game showcase and we'll be streaming the game at midday CEST on Friday 13th as part of the event. Come say hi here: http://ow.ly/s0Mc50CiAni Have a great weekend Annika & Joni
