Magret & FaceDebouc

[adipson]

This is my 3rd point and click game that I'm currently developing with AGS 3.6 for Windows PC.


I'm still working as an independent solo developer on a crazy point-and-click game.
This time you control two characters who often come into conflict with each other because of their opposing characters, which doesn't make the police investigation into which these two detectives are plunged any easier.

The Police Captain has entrusted this duo of detectives, Magret the refined duck and FaceDebouc the boorish goat, with the investigation into the crime of Mr Couane, a pig trader cut up into pieces and turned into sausage...


It's a police investigation where you have to find clues, question witnesses, interrogate suspects and solve puzzles...
The game is expected to last between 4 and 6 hours.


The game, native in French, should have a minimal translation into English and German by AI (Googletranslate/chatGPT) (because the game's kickstarter page is not turning over enough funds to hire English/German voice actors and English/German translators for this game made in French with French voices).

because there is strong and crude language from the goat character and references to alcohol and drugs. And depending on the country, it must be classified like this...

It's nice to finally have a comment or an opinion

I played the demo with French speech and English subtitles. The game is probably not for everyone, because the humour is indeed of the crude variety. The goat ends up with a couple of his own arse hairs in his inventory early on, so the tone is set right away. 

The characters are drawn big and lovely, in cartoon style familiar from Adipson's other games. The animation is nice, too. I liked the whole of the presentation, with setup screens, multiple languages, helpful buttons to show hotspots and colourful maps helping navigation, and investigation notes made as you progress. (Though I had forgotten about the space bar and spent some play time searching for a necessary item.)

The music is from familiar sources, like Eric Matyas and Kevin MacLeod, and it's really good and fits the game very much.

The humour is the do or die of the game. If you like the idea of characters looking like animated animals from a kids show talking dirty and doing everything you wouldn't expect them to do, then this may appeal to you. If not, it's probably not your lawn to mow. An example of the humour can be that the murder victim in the demo, a pig, is turned into sausages. I'm getting some vibes from Sam & Max, and some from Rock'n Roll will Never Die.

hello !
Many thanks for this analysis.
Yes indeed, it's my humor, it's particular and my inspirations are obvious like Sam & Max or Day of Tentacle (see image above).
 Following the demo I noticed that many English-speaking players still kept the voices in French. I was surprised, I expected them to cut them but suddenly it's quite nice to see that.
Thank you for your post !
