It's #PointNClickFriday AND #Halloween, the perfect day to try the demo of Uncle Lee's Cookbook. It includes (part of) one of the episodes from the full game, the spooky comedy "The founders of [redacted]". Ghosts and city councils—can't get spookier that that.

For reference, this is what Sally's "THE BAND!!!!" sounds like in our heads (and now hopefully yours). One of the many characters she plays in the game is the biggest fan of the band, and Sally did an amazing job at portraying just HOW MUCH of a fan she is.

All the "Uncle Lee's Cookbook" scripts have been sent to the voice actors! 🎉🎙️
Excerpt from one of the scripts sent to the actors. It reads: Ines and uncle Lee are in a van, on the road. Lee is driving but he’s looking back towards Ines instead of looking at the road. Ines: Uncle Lee, are you sure you don’t want me to drive? Lee: It’s ok, Ines dear! Just enjoy the view. Ines: I would enjoy it more if you kept your eyes on the road.

Happy #PointNClickFriday, and congratulations on getting the kickstarter funded!

We woke up this morning to a big spike on @itch.io for our game "The founders of [redacted]".

Find out for yourself if this game is indeed as "fresh" as claimed!

She is saying "I want my money back."

Thanks for hosting this #PointNClickFriday!

Our team has a few different projects in the early stages. Until we have some concrete details to share, why not (re)visit our series of adventure games starring Ines and uncle Lee? There's a whole 6 of them and they're free!

Screenshot from "Not enough time". Ines, a 15-year-old girl with green hair, is standing in a van from the sixties where three rock musicians are sitting. The van is travelling in a strange void rather than the road, as it is stuck in a temporal tunnel. One of the musicians is saying to the others "It's this grumpy girl with GREEN hair!".

Our first #PointNClickFriday!

We just recently released "Triple Trouble" as our #AdvXJam2024 entry. We're still doing some work on it, adding sound effects and prepping it for translation(s?).

#AdvXJam2024 update: our composer @shamisenorchestra.com is finalising the #soundtrack for the game.

Here's one of the many versions of the game's main theme (it will change dynamically through the game)!

#AdvXJam2024 update: started working on the user interface for a key mechanic in the game which involves a book. Here's a mock-up of the interface. Inventory objects are placeholders, and the author picture is (probably) temporary.
