Man Tries to Sell Insurance to Baroness, You Won't Believe What Happens Next!, December 18, 2023I admit to being a bit turned away by the word "erotic" in this game's summary. Thankfully, the other reviews convinced me to give it a try. The most suggestive parts of the game just come from the character's imagination and the blurry, out-of-focus images of the Baroness in the magazine -- nothing outright graphic or sexual is shown or described.
You're in the waiting room of Baroness Valerie and preparing to sell her insurance. But your eye is drawn to a crooked painting hanging on the wall above the couch, and that bothers you. Fixing this will launch you into a chain reaction of other things going wrong around the house. It's easy to follow and the parser is responsive.
One detail I really liked is that you can get the best ending without needing to earn every point available. I finished with around 47 and still got it. Replaying the game to look for things you've missed is fun, and there are a few obscure ones I stumbled into (such as (Spoiler - click to show)kissing the magazine or (Spoiler - click to show)feeding the fish twice). I do wonder if there's a 100% guide for this game anywhere, though.
Like a few others, I was confused by the lead-in to the ending. I thought it would be a separate puzzle, and there's an aquarium full of water, so I was trying to use that to extinguish the fire. But the best ending is a nice note to go off on.
This is a short puzzler that isn't hard and I definitely enjoyed playing.
