You've probably already heard or thought of this but this duo looks so much like Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens! That along with the "crime-solving" aspect of this pulled me in, and I'm so glad I checked it out! Such a cleverly written story with such intriguing character designs and pretty art kept me hooked during every second of it, and it was a blast to play! Just like Is Lupin Still Flirting? this is exemplary! (maybe it's on purpose but Lupine flowers reminds me sm of Lupin III I loved him.) It will be one to beat for the Spooktober VN jam for sure.
Thank you so much for such high praise. And yes Lupine was very heavily inspired hehe he and Goose steal imps, which is a bit different than stealing for glory or fun, but they share a similar joy about what they do :)
Thank you very much for checking it out! I wanted to let you know there seems to be a bit of visual capture glitch towards the end quarter of the video.
This is a great game but my only complaint is that there are many times where the character Goose gets misgendered. The pronouns he/him are used instead of they/them. Please fix this in future updates.
Uh no I dont remember exactly but there were a few times around when the seance happened? I cant exactly remember. I think it'd be a good idea to look over the script if you still have it?
Thanks so much for helping us spot those, I found 3 in the seance scene, and hopefully we got them all. We've uploaded a new build, we appreciate your help catching those mistakes!
Made an account just to give this game a 5/5 rating cause holy shit it was good. (been usin Itch for years, funny how this, a visual novel (which I normally don't care for) made me get off my ass and get an account to rate it CX
Whoa, thank you very much! We’ve made a few other VNs, but this was our first mystery, so we weren’t sure if people would like it! Comments like this can really encourage creators to keep going, so I’m grateful that you took the time out to let us know. If people end up really liking this one, there’s a chance we might do more. Harold and Hawley have been on my back burner for a looooong time. :3
Ngl, I love Harold and Howley a lot from this game! I've also gone on to download all the games you've made to try them all out :3 (oh, and a friend of mine watched me stream this to them and they also made an account just to give u 5/5, They said they loved all of the characters, but mostly DeLus, Goose, and a character they keep referring to as "Gay Mettaton Man" (guessing they are referring to Lupin cx). Also, this shall be one of the few games that stays on my pc forever :3 (only 3-4 others hold that spot xD)
Well thanks, and I hope you like them! Never feel bad about deleting our games if you need to free up disc space, though. XD There should always be new games to enjoy in your future!
Usually, I stay away from mystery games, unless they're heavily scripted like DanganRonpa because I suck at finding the culprit all by myself, but this one caught my attention because for some reason, it contains everything that I love (Queerness? Edwardian fashion? Witchcraft? Demons? A fae? Funny jokes? SIGN ME IN!) and let me tell you, I didnt regret my decision at all.
The story is so wholesome and yet, so disturbing sometimes: The (b)romance between Harry and Faraday is so sweet. The potentially triggering parts were written in a way that made me feel uneasy. I really felt like I was within the game with these people.
Thank you for releasing this gem and good luck for the contest! 🤗
Thanks so much for checking it out and enjoying the game! We didn't want the mystery to be TOO challenging, so I'm glad to hear you didn't have too much trouble :) And as for Harry and Faraday, it's definitely a dysfunctional but romantic relationship lol
"I EARNED THIS DAMN DATE!" Has easily become my favourite quote from a damn visual novel EVER- and as strange as it is to say, this story was deeply touching at moments.
Maybe it's the relatable readiness to give up on everything from the main characters, or Maggie completely winning me over and making me fall in love... But it was something I appreciated beyond "haha, funny depressed gays struggling and NB rep."
So thank you.
All the characters were genuinely memorable for me and that almost NEVER happens- least of all in murder mysteries, because authors just cram in as many red-herrings as possible!
Also, the art was heart-warming to look at because of the colours and (sorry, hope this doesn't seem rude, honestly saying it will all the endearment I have in my heart) rustic feel.
So once again, thank you. Hope you have a lovely week, month, year- whatever XD
edit: OMG, LESBIAN PIRATES AND LUPIN?!?!?! DOES THAT MEAN WE GET MORE GOOSE? OMG, IF THAT HAPPENS, JUST KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PERSON IS SO DOWN!!
Ahhh this is such a kind comment to receive! I'm so happy to hear our characters stood out, that was one of our goals, and it feels great to hear we did it! Thank you so much and I'm super glad to hear that you're interested in seeing more, too. This is a world that has a lot more potential stories in it! Knowing people might want more is great news hehe Thank you again for playing!
Just downloaded the game to my PC! But can you add 'Genre: Visual novel' to the drop down 'More information' menu? This'll help get the game out to a wider audience!

This was a very well written game. I loved the watercolor art used throughout it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for letting us know! Do you remember where any of those typos were? I’d like to get those fixed right away.

Thank you, having a specific area to look in is very helpful. We’ll check the script and do an update in the next day!
Alright thank you!
