If elaborate, zany, animated 2D adventures in the vein of things Lucasarts are your fancy,
you will likely find a lot to like about this.

It’s the late 1940s, in a desert town somewhere, and Betty wakes as a result of a large
explosion to find that she and everyone else in town have amnesia. Something is clearly
going on, and Betty sets off to find out what. She could not have imagined what awaits her.

Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Thanks, flotsam (and Draclvr) for another informative review - and an extra thanks for the “saving” advice 😑

Save wise, I just tried starting a new game and it didn't delete my old saves. I assume though that new autosaves will continue to push out older ones if I don't prune my 'list'.
What I don't know is whether I have the same total capacity regardless of whether or not they are manual or auto saves, or whether I can add more manual saves on top of the autosaves. I expect not, but will try and sort that out next yes


Quantity has a quality all of its own

Flotsam, this should answer the save question:

Frequently Asked Questions
How does saving work in the game?

There are three types of save options:

Auto-save: Occurs approximately every 5 minutes or after significant achievements.

Quick Save: Accessible via a keyboard shortcut or controller D-pad.

Manual Save: Available through the in-game menu.

You have 20 slots for manual saves and 20 slots for auto-saves. Auto-saves will never overwrite your manual saves. You can delete or overwrite any save at any time.

What is the Hotspot Highlight feature?

You can highlight interactive hotspots in a scene by pressing a specific key on the keyboard or both mouse buttons simultaneously. This feature helps you easily identify all objects or areas you can interact with.

Can I skip dialogues and cutscenes?

You can skip all cinematics, and most dialogues and cutscenes can also be skipped.

Can I revisit past conversations?

Yes, if you need to revisit any conversation, the dialogue log is available for review.

Is there a fast movement and teleport feature?

You can instantly teleport to the next scene by double-clicking on the scene's exit. In addition, when the main character is outdoors, she can run.

Is the game optimized for both keyboard/mouse and controller?

Whether you prefer keyboard/mouse or a controller, the game’s point-and-click mechanics are optimized to work wonderfully with both.


Also a demo is now available Here.
