I finished the game last night... great job!  I really liked it.  It was one of the best I've played.  

I don't know how valued my opinion will be, being as I'm not a game creator... I just play 'em, but I thought I'd put my two-cents in...

What I liked:  I love the graphics.  Some of the best I've seen with AGS.  The dialgue was hillairious! And it had a fun plot.

What I didn't like: Like somebody else said, it was kind of annoying to have to move the character out of the way to click on stuff.   And a personal preference

I don't really like puzzles where you have to click on something more than once... like with going under the house and picking up the bone.  I tend to click on something once, and if it doesn't work, I move on... but that's just me.  Other people probably like that!

Anyway, overall I really enjoyed your game, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

I know, making the main character clickable was probably a bad idea. It's just that when i was first creating the game i thought it would be cool if the character was able to talk to themselves. I'll probably take it out in the next games.

I thought about making my interface like that Neole, kind of like "Simon the Sourcer". But I think you lose a little of the fun of the game if you just get right down to business. I know it's more work, but i like having a lot of options. Also there is the case where you want to have more than one interaction with an object, hotspot or character. If there was a situation where you could either talk to a character or push them out a window it wouldn't be possible. Having more options gives more freedom. I'm not saying any one way is right though. I look forward to playing your game and see how your interface feels.

I haven't won it yet, but I'd like to point out a bug for ya.

Spoiler
When you talk to the picture and you get the right answer, there's a fatal exception that boots you outta the game. I can pm you all of the details it said when it had the error if you wish, but it takes place in "room 6, script line 506" if that helps you any.

Great game so far. Very fun and clever.

Great game!  I'm really enjoying playing it, but I'm stuck:

Spoiler
I absolutely CANNOT get the sister out of the shower.  I've been to the attic and see the steam rising out of the vent and think I'm supposed to throw something down there, but don't know what.

Thanks!

Great game.  I loved the car stalling and sputtering.  Thanks for the hints.  When Barcik asked what do girls fear, I was looking for a man who wouldn't commit to throw down there.

Wow Pestilence, i didn't think anyone would find that. I've found, that that bug doesn't happen all the time, i was trying to track down the source of it. I can't get it to happen consistently, and because you don't need it to complete the game, i left it in. I may go back and look at it, but if it causes trouble, just leave it.

Again i must say, i really appreciate all the feedback, and all the people enjoying the game. I've really gotta start the second part.

Just having a break at the moment, playing some AGS games. Finishing Unreal 2, and Quest for Glory V (i've never played it until now!)

I have a habit of talking to inanimate objects and I liked getting a result other than "I don't think it will respond". I wanted to know what happened when I got the answer right, but then it yelled at me and threw me out, as if I were it's spouse and I had cheated on it.

Just finished your game, mate. Two thumbs up.

I especially like your puzzles. They're harder than average, I think, but that makes the game more fun.

The art also has quite a unique sort of style.

Looking forward to the sequel.

I didn't sleep from your game :). I really really like it.. only my PC is on my bedroom, and i have the nasty habit to "just solve one puzzle" before i go to sleep. and 3 AM is a nasty time for a student :P

This looks like a great game but I think I exploited a bug without realising...

Spoiler
I tried to open the front door while the floor was still wet, went outside and came in, and it seems like the game thinks I fixed the wet floor when I didn't do anything...

I figured out how I'll get the sister out of the shower, but I can't get up into the attic. I don't have the hook on a stick tool that Alistair has. How am I supposed to get up there?

Hi, I love your game and am playing it right now but I can't find those darn batteriles for the torch. Can you give me a clue. I give the bone to Max already and am looking at the opening under the house but I need light... ???

Instead of digging up old game announcements, and letting me believe that there is an update or sequal released, search/post on the HINT forum.
