The Peanuss Mystery - 90% done

Runzusoft presents:
A brand new game with no name (yet).

I've been working on this game for several months. It's not that long, I guess it'll be a medium length game, but I wanted it to be as perfect as possible, meaning that if you click on anything you get a message, not like I've seen in several other games.

It features:
- 320x200 cartoonish graphics
- Proskrito's MI2 GUI
- 9 or 10 rooms
- 3 characters
- lottsa inventory items

Here are some screenshots:

If the anonymizer isn't working, here's the link: http://acvarii.tripod.com/

The story:
You play as an accountant working for Mrs. Peanuss, a widow whom you help with the paperwork in order to inherit her late husband's fortune.
When the work is done, Mrs. Peanuss won't let you leave until you have sex with her. But, since you got a VD from a hooker you can't do it and must find a way out.
Things go horribly wrong, and the harder you try to get out the deeper you fall into the Peanuss Family mysteries, becoming a real private eye.

The game is nearly finished, but I still need some help:

1st - I have no idea what to call the game. If you think you have a good title, please post it here. You WILL be mentioned in the credits for it.

b.) - I need someone to help me with the music. I did the main theme, but I have no idea how to make some ambiental in-game midi music with NO pianos. It should be something like DOTT, not too scary, not too funny though.
I'd be really thankful if anyone could help me with that. Really really thankful.

Thanx!

Cool game! I love your graphics and it sounds like a fun story!
Maybe I know a good name for your game!

Booty Call -> wich means ; redoing an "one-night-stand".

Good luck on your game, and I look forward to it's release

Holy shiser, those pics look damn sweet!
And it's funny on so many levels.
looking forward to this one.

How about...

...this baseball? It's been autographed by your country's Lou Gehrig!

But seriously,

How about, "Peanuss Envy?"

Thank you, Dr. Freud.

Escape from Peanutss Island!

or

Peanutss arent tasty

...likewise, i liked Booty Call

Gee, thanx for the quick replies.

"Booty Call" isn't really appropiate, because the game isn't mainly about sex. The sex thing is actually the reason he finds out there have been some terrible things going on. However I didn't want to tell you WHAT those things are because I didn't want to spoil the surprise. See, I told you it's hard to find a title.

So far I liked best Nixxon's idea, but thank you all for your cooperation.

Just keep the title ideas coming

Minimi · Tue 02/03/2004 12:11:13

RudeNude

That book he's looking at in the first screenshot sounds familiar

Looks great!
The plot is a bit... um... odd.

Just off the top of my head...

The Peculiar Mrs Peanuss
The Peanuss Story
Behind The Peanusses
Just Say No
Private Accountancy Perils
The Wacky World Of The Peanusses
The Truth About Peanusses
Promiscuous Peanuss
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love My Peanuss
Adventures In Accountancy
Confessions Of A Chartered Accountant

I quite like Nixxon's one though. that would fit well by the sounds of it.
Looking forward to the game!

People, thank you very much for your help.
I will start thinking of a title based on your suggestions, trying to combine them in some way. That's because I liked too many

I'll let you know when I make up my mind, and I'll keep you up to date with the game.

Thanx again everyone!
