Tim & Patrick decided to explore the abandoned house down the street. Per usual Tim is making things difficult.

Sorry only a windows build.

Note:

* When downloading with Chrome, Chrome may get angry and claim the zip is a virus. Unless Adventure Game Studio is hiding something from me, to the best of my knowledge I haven't spent the past 2 days creating a virus. So try Firefox if you have problems.

* After you click the "Inspect" button the next mouse click will perform an inspection of your target. After that it goes back to moving you around. I know, I know, sometimes it is annoying.

Tim is the worst friend ever. He can't even juggle.

Very nice! Impressive that you managed to pull this off in 48 hours.
Not sure about what the difference between "interacting" and "using" is though.

The gameplay was easy, and the difference between 'interact' and 'use' wasn't clear, but the story and humor more than made up for that. The graphics and music weren't bad either.

Great presentation! Also Tim is a very silly man.

Amazing art and music!

Cool an AGS game. Short but fairly humorous. Incidentally, this game would be perfect for the common "two button interface" used in the Blackwell series (among others). With left click being "use" and right click being "inspect".

Tim is a silly billy. Cool graphics.

This worked on so many levels for me. Everything seemed to fit together nicely, the sound, the pixel art, the color palette and the dialogue. A+

cool graphics but little static animations...
not really difficult but pleasant...
Nice credits and the end remind me the very end of Monkey Island 2...

Being pretty familiar with AGS (and being an adventure games aficionado) I enjoyed the experience but I think that some sort of visual feedback for the hotspot would be extremely useful to players among with a different choice of words for Interact and Use.

It's really well done and interesting, anyway and I love the use you made of sound and music (what software did you use?)

Great to see an AGS game here, anyway!

Theres only two buttons in my version, not sure if thats intentional. Would have liked moving to have been WASD based, but the game is really impressive considering the time it took to make. I got stuck pretty early on, I'm sure it extends further and I might give it another crack when I'm more awake. Love the art, music is pretty good too.

Really nice, I like the style of old point and click adventure games. Good job on this!

I loved it! The puzzles weren't frustrating or tedious. The aesthetic was great. That was a very clever way to do the credits at the end. And I love the 4th wall breaking conversation that you leave it with. This is one of my favorites :D

The graphics are super nice, cool entry.

Short, but sweet. I like the art, although the animations were very stiff. Great to see some functional point and click games on here. Great work with everything, man. Oh, and the ending made me smile. Thanks for sharing your work ;)

That's the most stylish entry I played so far. Well, animations are... um, they are animations and that's the only good thing I could say. But other than that graphics are sweet, music is nice and it was pretty amusing to play.

Oh, and really, what's the difference between "use" and "interact"?
