Great game! The day/night mechanic is a nice unique feature. I somehow missed it at first because I only saw the first page of the guide for some reason, so I was a bit stuck until I randomly loaded the game in the daytime and then figured it out. After that it was all plain sailing. Nice unique puzzles, funny dialogue, and great voice acting. I liked the Blur Parklife reference!
Very strange! Yeah, go on then, it would be really handy to see what's gone on there. Please could you email the .dat file to tom@tallstorygames.com :)
I've investigated the issue and it looks like somehow the game thought you'd already picked up the lice. It's on a timer, so I wonder if something interrupted it when you played it through, so that it got as far as recording the lice, but not to the point where it actually put them in your inventory.
Glad you managed to get infested though (never thought I'd have to say that... again).
Ace little game. Great humour and story, the puzzles are a good difficulty level too. Definitely going to keep an eye out for more titles from this developer.
It's a fun little game. I only got really stuck once, because I didn't realize an object existed, but other than that, it was just the right level of challenge.

Would love to know more about the development of this game (and Lucy Dreaming). Do you have a dev [b|v]log?
Sure, there’s a bit of an archive available here: https://lucy-dreaming.com/blog/ 😊
Thanks so much, these were great to read. Congrats on your success!
Thank you!!! :

Great game!
But it seems I'm stuck as I can't get infested. I'm standing close, but nothing triggers. :(
You may have to walk a little bit closer by clicking on the ground right next to it… and be hairy. 😊
Thanks, but I really think my game/save was corrupted.
I tried everything for minutes (+ I watched a video to see, where I had to stand).
Then I loaded a save from another session and it immediately worked.
Hmm, no idea. It’s not something I’ve heard of before. 😅
All I can say is, the game was made from scratch in 12 days, so I’m not entirely surprised if there’s an occasional glitch.
It's no big deal. It just felt really strange that I couldn't trigger it, and I thought I wouldn't be able to complete the nice little game.
If you are interested, I can send you the savegame. But it's completely understandable, if you're not interested. ;)

Thank you so much for letting me know about this, I loved every second of it! You've nailed the ridiculous humor perfectly!!
Awesome, glad you enjoyed playing it! Your commentary is a joy as always 😁
Hmm. Sound disappears as soon as I mouse over any of the buttons in the start menu.
Ooh, that's a new one, I'm not even sure how it would do that. :)
Which OS are you using?
Win10.
Thanks! I’ll look into it. 👍🏻
Just to confirm, you mean the main menu in the game right, not the Windows Start menu?
Yes, it was. But I just tried the new version and it's working fine now.
Hooray!! 😁

Thank you! I have just launched a demo for my latest game "Lucy Dreaming" which is another pixel-art point and click game. :)

Amazing job!! And I love the old school game mechanics. <3 <3
Thank you! I love old 90s point and click adventures! 😁
Amazing! You're the biggest fan!
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
The game is just absolute dandy. Loved the art style and the story.
Yay, that's great to hear! My new game demo will be launching shortly too. ;)

Wonderful game. Funny story, great looking and challenging enough to be engaging. And good voiceacting, too. One of my favorites of the jam so far!
This is a fun play on Jekyll/Hyde. Sweet visuals & VO. I don't think the pies are for me though... #noCannibalism
