Mmmhhhm... Chicken, April 11, 2021A short and breezy peek at what should be a really fun game once it's gotten a bit more substance. The author submitted it to the Back Garden of the Spring Thing to gather feedback. It's acknowledged in the ABOUT-text that it is now too short and not fleshed out enough.
However, what's there is certainly enough for a light-hearted and funny diversion. This little gamelet is playable all the way through. It has an intro, a midgame and a conclusion of sorts.
A total of four puzzles are there to challenge you. Of these, the first is a great pointer to what SIWSOCATOAQ or its sequel could become: a fun and slightly off-kilter challenge that does not take itself too seriously.
Good for half an hour of fun.
(I'm particularly interested in the north room on the second floor...)
A short spy game with fun puzzles but a bit undercooked, April 6, 2021This game describes itself well on the Spring Thing page, where it says:
"I’ve entered it in the Back Garden section because it is
not very large, it has had insufficient testing and consequently has some rough spots. It should anyway be playable through and hopefully provides some enjoyment along the way. A walkthrough is available in a separate file. Have fun!"
I found the puzzles pleasant and the overall atmosphere light and breezy, but there were several typos or bugs.
Overall, you're trying out for a spy type job and have to infiltrate a house. Puzzles are presented one at a time, generally, with each solved puzzle giving a clue to the next one.
The hints could definitely have used some fine-tuning, but the author seems well aware of that. I had fun, but could have had more.
