10/10 the best p&c adventure I played this year! Cute graphics (especially when you don’t zoom in), music and coherent, nicely done plot. I think the credit card should be removed from the inventory when it has been used. But this is the only flaw I could call a flaw. Good job!

Happy to be "First" on this one πŸ˜‰
Firstly, wow again - seeing another game made with SCUMM-8 was an unexpected + very pleasant surprise! 😊
Secondly, was that genuinely a really awesome little adventure. It's gorgeous, sounds wonderful (even sounded Monkey Islandish at one point), has some really nice puzzles that are totally on point.
A perfect mini adventure, congrats! πŸ€“πŸ‘Œ

(+reminded me that I really gotta get back on that Picotron SCUMM-8 successor! πŸ˜…)

SCUMM-8 was so increadibly easy to use. I would be so into the Picotron successor. I'd be able to cram in a whole lot more backgrounds and sprites!
