About the Story

You're not in any sort of holiday mood, so you decide to walk across the street and through the park instead of bugging kids who're enjoying themselves. Or being bugged by how cheerful they are. You trespass through a park ... but it's not the park you think you're trespassing through. You're captured and sent to a cell. And not just any cell: a wee clink!

Escape the cell, get around weapons of war, undead creatures, and a thief who talks about themselves in the third person, and come face-to-face with your captor.

Short illustrated wordplay Adventuron game written in 4 hours, December 1, 2025
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

I said in my review of Dusk, Airy, Does Carry, I said that I would welcome more games in the same vein. Glad I asked! This game has similar puzzles and structure, and similar pixel art, including animals.

It's an Adventuron game with a central hub from which several other rooms branch, each room with 1-2 puzzles involving pairs word pairs that sound similar when spoken aloud.

This one shook things up a bit by focusing more on room connections that don't appear until later. But like I said with Chez Dark, I just like the fundamental design so was glad to play more.
