Mr. Chekhov’s post-mortem

Chekhov couldn’t predict that he’d be stabbed with a vase

OK, I guess I have to write a post-mortem for “Where Is Your Gun Now, Mr. Chekhov?”, since the guy certainly died (too many times already).

This LD, I was planning to participate solo as usual, but the theme caught me unprepared. Unconventional weapon? I haven’t done a game with guns or stabbing since 2013, so making an action game was quite a challenge for me – and I gloriously failed it. Another challenge was to make a ridiculously silly game, and that kinda worked out.

Anyway, after the theme was announced, I brainstormed for some time, coming up with several ideas, at some time seriously considering making a parody of 50 Shades of Grey. But neither me nor my wife had seen the movie or had the experience with, erhm, the unconventional stuff, so that idea was put on the shelf.
