Dead Service

This is a small adventure game i've made for the Stop Killing Games community jam.
It's a point'n'click adventure game about a person striving to change the world for the better by paying local programmer pigeons to program a server for a closing down MMO. Very deep stuff.
Hope you have a kick out of it!

The game is made using a SCUMM-8 framework by Liquidream.

It's always nice to see new ppl use your engine for their creations, and this one is no exception.
I've just played and completed this. I left a full review on game page, but in short:
It's... WONDERFUL 🥹 (gfx, music, puzzles, story, the lot!)
All the best with the jam 👍

It would be nice if it could save 💾

Just stuck at second room (outside apartment). I guess I need to make the squirrel run in the wheel to generate power, but how?


Truncana, if you don't mind reading a straight up solution, then read on:

You need to place the wheel near your PC desk (look for "empty spot"). Then USE squirrel on the wheel.
After that, you would need to snatch a piece of wire from the billboard outside.


@redplanetcat thank you!!!


@redplanetcat how do I bring the nervous squirrel in my apartment???

@Truncana hi! You have to first give squirrel a hazelnut (GIVE command), then pickup the squirrel (PICK-UP COMMAND)

I wish it had at least one more location, it's definitely a nice little adventure with very nice graphics.

Is it normal for this game to end with the black screen after the "Congrats" message?


1

@lastofavari yeah, the game ends on a black screen after the "congrats" message.
I totally agree that it's on the short side. If I had more time, I would've been glad to make one more room to explore and maybe some ending slides. If I used PX9 compression I could definitely fit some on a cart.
