Good ones.

I think your “first look” was quite enough for me with regards to this game, thank you flotsam
(Thanks Draclvr.)

Grrr! Evidently, I have to touch the correct stripes in the correct order to get past the Zebra Gate. Unfortunately, the clues for the gate are those scratches the lions made on the tent back at base camp, which means I have to reload, avoid getting eaten by the lions, and then run through that crazy Meercat Maze again.

Ana.

The trailer looks pretty spooky.

Thanks Marian!

I knew going in that this game featured countless minigames (it says so on the Steam page), and I wasn't sure that it would be for me. I was right, but if minigames are your thing you may well feel differently.

I am just under an hour of play time in and have played seven minigames thus far. I reckon 15 of those minutes at least have been taken up with playing said games, which further accentuates their prevalence. To date, I have had to keep playing until I win, so be prepared.

A chicken is dead and Detective Cox, an amnesiac squirrel, is on the case. Fowl play is definitely afoot.

The game plays with the keyboard, and there are no manual saves. It uses a top-down perspective when moving about, but then a front-on perspective for the games and the cutscenes and when characters are conversing. The animation style is quirky and is at its best in the cutscenes. The top-down look is a little rudimentary. Voices are a mixed bag, as is the humour, but that is always a personal thing. Little icons will pop up when you can do something and if an inventory item is needed, clicking will open the inventory from where you can drag items to see what might work.

I recently acquired a map, which is a visual aid to the layout of things but won't help you get around faster. For that Detective Cox needs to sprint. I also got a stone box and suspect there are more stones to be found.

I have just entered a bar (there is a joke there somewhere), and a second case is about to get underway.

Oldbroad -- NO manual saves - just like Uncle Reg said; otherwise the game looked very good.. the graphics, sound, story, and movement all good ( you should be OK with movement !! )

I played for a while and took a break thinking that when I returned, the "Continue" option would take me to where I left off ... no such luck !! It continued where I had to replay a lot of clicks to catch up ! Worse is - I never got to see where it auto-saved !! Bummer !!!

That was the Not Fun part .

It uses the Unreal engine which should allow for manual saves which would not be difficult to program in !!

Now I am not getting a "warm fuzzie" about it but I will give it one more shot !
