fun game. i did not realize barking would force me to solve the puzzle. i was not prepared.
also the evidence is torn. bill fetch is definetly innocent and there isnt much evidence against amelia flouf. its really between holly and scraggy. both have the means to steal the bones. tracks of both were found at the crime scene. there is a connection between them so im starting to suspect it was both. the one with connections to them all however is...US. before i answer this i put out the theory that it was us. we are connected to them all, yet our character handwaves that away every time it comes up. we have the connections to be able to know about the stash.
ok so answering gives you more answers. like how was i supposed to know the scarf wasnt evidence. you need to give me that beforehand. also only some evidence isnt able to be presented. like hollys connection to scraggy and as such her access to the map wasnt an option. also the bone having a hole in it from something that didnt look like a bite mark i saw as evidence of research done on the bone. and so my nr.1 suspect went up in flames.
and then the game kinda ended. like im still not sure if scraggy did it. all that was revealed was that maybe he buried the stash. like what? the ending legit left me with more questions than answers.
what i think happened: fluffys grandpa made a mistake and thought scraggys stash was his. scraggy took the stash on his walk. fluffy, who thought from his grandpa that it was his stash thought someone had stolen from his stash, when it had never belonged to him in the first place.
all in all the game was fun. the ending kinda ruined it for me though. the evidence fuffy gives to discount evidence should have been available through other means. you literally have to guess the thief, as you are missing crucial information in the case. fluffy gives more evidence, than anything in the room. also the ending was so confusing i wasnt sure what had happened to the stash.
For context: this is one of my earliest games ever. I made it in 2016 (10 years ago!). Puppertrator, Krill or Be Krilled, and Speed Date Shuffle were made by me (Wyatt) made with my friend Kris. We decided to call our team “THE WYATTO AND KRISPIN SHOW”, so to keep with the bit we were individually WYATTO and KRISPIN. I don’t really remember why we did that, it was just a silly idea we had in the moment. Most of my games are from game jams so there are a lot of spur-of-the-moment decisions that make it into the final product.
Also as an aside: thanks for playing so many of my games, and apparently lots of my friends’ games too! In case they’re not already on your list: andrfw, lectvs, xythas (aka: sam-long), diency, ursagames, joespacio (add .itch.io to the end of any of those to find their pages).
It’s a little surreal to get harsh (but fair!) feedback on a game I made 10 years ago but it’s been a nice walk down memory lane.
I don’t know if you intend to play all of my games (it certainly seems like you’re trying to!) but some of my personal favorites are: Explorem Ipsum, #hellsite, and Architower. I look forward to reading your thoughts on them.
I likely won’t reply to your other posts but just know I am reading all of them!
If you’re curious about more information on each game, I do have remarks on each game on my website: https://www.notfruit.net/games
ah ok ty. that clears things up. and most of your friends have already been on my list to check out. andrfw was the one that sent me down this rabbit hole and now i have 20+ tabs of game devs to check out. but ill gladly add joespacio to my collection. and yeah i do plan on playing all your and your friends games. a combination of ocd and love of these types of games have compelled me to do so. i am very excited for your best works, though your other games certainly werent bad. seeing the videos turn from 2-5 minute videos to a 1 hour dev commentary for explorem ipsum has got me very excited at what awaits me there. wasnt really expecting a reply, as some of these games are pretty old, i just like to write down my experiences and share them.
I'm considering making a more fleshed out version of this game with elements of Speed Date Shuffle (another game I made) mixed in. Might contain the prequel scene, who knows! ;)

also the link for WYATTOs games is your website? am i missing something?
You are correct: WYATTO was me all along!

This game was super fun! Thank you for making it :)
Here's my playthrough!
Hold on... "tying people up down here again" WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN?!! PREQUEL!!!
I'm considering making a more fleshed out version of this game with elements of Speed Date Shuffle (another game I made) mixed in. Might contain the prequel scene, who knows! ;)
AWESOMMME!!! You really should do that. Also, I am thinking of recording games that you have made on YouTube, if you would allow me.
I am two years late on this reply. I'm so sorry!
Yes, recording my games is absolutely okay and encouraged!
I haven't been keeping up with itch.io for two years so late replies are fine
I really liked it, the idea it's pretty interesting and the art style it's awesome! I enojyed it a lot.
Hey thanks! I'm so glad you liked it!
If you liked this I highly recommend you check out my new game, Speed Date Shuffle!
I have actually! After I played Turnip the Beet you grabbed my attention!
That was a pretty fun little game! I love the jazz. Sequel?
I really enjoyed this short little game! It's cute and well done.
I talk in more detail about it in my blog entry here: http://pajamagaming.blogspot.com/2017/02/browser-games-2.html
