Breakfast on Trappist-1

"How many pieces of eight do you want for that gas station?"

[close]

True. One would need a really big bag of coins to buy a whole gas station : )

Spoiler

The fun part is that you could carry the coins with ease, because of the low gravity. Any coin toss could result in a new satelite.

Speaking of gravity. The children playing with the paper planes mention that the gravity specifically on Trappist is very low. But, if they were Trappistians (?), would they actually feel the need to highlight that the gravity on Trappist is this or that? I mean for them it would be just gravity, wouldn't it?

I know I am overthinking stuff right now, but I've just downed two Leffes and I really can't stop thinking about it...  : )

I recognized Lorenzo's art from the screen shots immediately. Beautiful as always!

Now you're giving us puzzle ideas for a potential sequel.

Maybe they're just showing off to the grown-up what they have learnt at school about gravity on different planets.

Thanks, mate!

I said I would post a review after finishing the game and I did but only on itch.io. Only now I realised I haven't posted anything here.
So here it goes:

The game has an amazing atmosphere and right from the beginning you start to feel the drama of people living on the planet. I found the image with the cranes and red sky particularly memorable.

As some pointed out, there is plenty of narrative. I believe it's a matter of taste, so it really depends on what you are looking for in an adventure game.

I found the puzzles to be relatively easy, however, they were logical and fun to solve.

To sum up, I enjoyed it a lot : )

Thanks for both your comments (here and on itch), Pogwizd!

Some of the text could've been "presented" better, especially in some dialogues, but being a jam game there was so little time to fine-tune things! With a week more, some parts could've been edited a bit. But I think Formosa Falanster did a great job with it, especially adding all those extra descriptions when looking at things and giving objects to people!

A short, enjoyable game with a well written story, very nice art, and easy puzzles. I recommend playing it.

I copied and pasted the comment onto the game page and the itch.io page for the game. Sorry it took me so long. I hope lots more people play this game.

[lorenzo]

dactylopus: I'm really happy you enjoyed the game! Thank you for your nice words!

Syos Spaniel: thanks a lot for your comments, soon or late it doesn't matter! In fact, I took forever to reply to this thread myself

Before we announce our upcoming AGS game (think Breakfast on Trappist-1 but much longer!) we are happy to share a little side-project we did: an illustrated and interactive short story that you can play here for free and in browser.

Check this out, Lorenzo is still as good as ever:



Enjoy!

[heltenjon]

I read/played the interactive story, and it was great! You are really good at delving into different cultures and backgrounds. There are also several nice small touches, like how the protagonist changes nicknames for his ex on this phone. Great writing! Lorenzo's art is brilliant as always, but is restricted to locations this time. The illustrations add to the atmosphere, but takes a lesser part in this story than in Breakfast.

Lovely little game! Very evocative. Thank you so much!
