I love the twist at the end did not see it coming though I did think that Fay's detective agency was not a normal agency.
i didnt knew who was, after i saw the character i thought "isnt that boy form killer trait" LOL HAHAH
Indeed, he's the same Carl from Killer Trait! Hehehe <3
Dang I knew you were cooking for the Carl game but this entry's twists took me ENTIRELY by surprise. I suppose I should have guessed based on other games in the universe, but without spoiling much I'll say I'm very intrigued...
I really loved the entire atmosphere, somehow it felt very consistent with Killer Trait but with a stronger "detective" vibe to it. Carl's design is very cute (I love his colors and his eyes in particular), and the art is lovely - the expressions in particular are so dynamic! And his VA did an absolutely fantastic job with making him sound as playfully mischievous as possible. I also really liked the choice to use colored dialogue for the different characters - it matched really well aesthetically with Carl's design scheme!
The dynamic between Fay and Carl was really fun to read (the dev's dialogue/banter is always top tier), and it did a good job of establishing the relationship between the characters while hinting at the surrounding universe and its mysteries. Also curious to see what happens to Carl in Killer Trait, considering he is very obviously unemployed by the time this game occurs...
Very interested in seeing how Fay handles her new assistant in the main game! Fantastic work!!
Hohoho, I'm glad the twist took you by surprise! 🤭
Thank you so much, Chatt, it means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the game and Fay's and Carl's dynamic! 🥰❤️
Oh Pri, I didn't know you were preparing something for O2A2, perhaps I missed it! But the moment I saw it on my itch feed, I almost screamed "OH CARL" out loud looool
Now, the game was very cool, funny and intriguing! First of all, I won't spoil the reveal, but DANG, was it both unexpected and yet surprisingly wholesome! It does raise interesting questions regarding the lore of Cedaria! I loved the dynamic between Fay and Carl, and I can tell how it will grow into banter in the future haha.
The voice acting was also very good, and the VA managed to make Carl sound very charming, props to them! The art was also absolutely gorgeous; for some reason, I would regularly press my "H" key to look at it, I really love the shapes used for Carl! The GUI, logo included, was great too and very fitting, without being intrusive! And the music track definitely set the mood!
Congrats on releasing this!!
Aww thank you so much, Chim!!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!! 🥹💖
LOL, I almost didn't make it in time for the deadline of 02A2 but I'm glad I did 'cause I really really REALLY wanted to make this game!! 💪
