So I am really enjoying this simple detective game, the humor, art, and music are just great. I mentioned playing the demo a few months back in the indie catch all thread. The game consists of 9 cases.
And as of today the developers started a kickstarter for the 2nd season. This forum needs an official thread!

Demo of the first 2 cases here :
40% or more off for a few more hours @ Humble Store.
Kickstarter pitch @ the middle of the other video:
Man, I keep looking at it in the Humble sale and almost getting it. I’ve had it in my cart twice until I remember all the other games i have. Glad to hear it’s good. Maybe I’ll go stare at it in my cart some more…
I did!
Huh, I’ve never heard of this, but I do love a good adventure game and I do love a detective story. If it’s half as good as the Blackwell games, I’ll be happy.
Case 2 at the library was really good, I’d suggest playing them in order as they are shown on the case file screen, at least the original 6 episodes. As there were references to things mentioned in case 1 during the events of case 2. Make sure to read all the book titles! :D
Interesting, and they’re releasing on the Switch as well!
This is on my must play list this evening.
Ever get around to playing?
Case 3 was pretty good, Dooley is a great character and him and McQueen are well written.
Just started playing. The game had me at “Dooley”.
I will start this game Tueday and play at least a chapter. I actually do love pixel. Plus mystery. Plus humor.
Plus cops. I see enough of them to actually like some.
Looks like the kickstarter for Season 2 is barely over the goal, with 48 hours to go.
Looks interesting, so I will back it for Season 1+2 on the Switch.
If you haven’t make sure to pick up the first season during the winter sale!
I backed the KS, and got the season 1 code for the Switch a while back. The art, music and humor is good - especially the references to various other classic adventure games. The puzzles are so-so, mediocre at best. Makes me want to replay Puzzle Agent.
That said, really looking forward to Season 2.
2nd game now has a Steam Page! Wishlist it!
