Quote from: heltenjon on Fri 08/08/2025 17:23:29I just played the game. It was a fun detective game, even if it took me a while to wrap my head around who was who.

I'm sure the art can be criticized for being a jumble of styles and proportions not consistent with each other. I'll leave that for those who can actually draw. I'm not familiar enough with the assets used to say anything about it.

What I can say, is that I quite enjoyed going back and forth, gathering information. The game holds the player's hand, so there is little reason to get stuck. Still, about an hour gameplay unless you rush it. (I speedran the second time through because I had not saved and wanted to check for more endings. I believe there are three?)

Also huge compliments for the music, which lifts the game's atmosphere a lot. There are shifts for every room, and that helps setting the mood.

I wouldn't mind playing more stories fixing time anomalies.

Hi there, and thank you for the kind words! As for the art, I know the "issues" and for the next time I'll have the luck to work with an artist for games like these. But glad you liked the story and for sure there will be more chapters, maybe a little bit longer and better polished :wink:

Originally I wanted to add such a feature as having more freedom to transform in anyone you meet after choosing the right dialogue choices, but I had trouble making it work properly and with small amount of time to work on it (I really worked on this in 15 days 'cause I had to travel for work in the last part of the month) I didn't want to risk not completing the game. Same for the art compartment, I had to adapt some images to put a "thing" together. For sure, in the next year, one of my plans is to polish and expand on this game. We'll see!

Hope you enjoyed this little project and, as I said, the first one I ever made!  :smiley:  :smiley:  :smiley:

SYNOPSIS
Asculum Picenum, 5th August 1524

It's the day of one of the most important events of the year: the Quintana, a joust where knights from every district run for the conquer of the Palio. But the morning of the event, Giorgio Malaspina, knight for the Porta Romana district, seems to be missing. In a parallel and future dimension, the Anachronistic Plot Control Authority (APCA) sends one of their best agents, Agent 11, back in time to investigate the increasing of anomalous energy generating from the 5th August 1524-TQ.

Here we are then, this is my entry for the July "round" of MAGS 2025. It's a short game (I think it takes around an hour to complete on the first run) and it's also my first AGS game! As setting for the Big Event I decided to use the event of the Quintana, an event which yearly takes place here in my town, but on its early days (XVI century).

I imagined this as a first episode of a larger saga of small point and click games, but we'll see how this goes. Anyway, I'm really happy of the result of making a full game for the first time and for sure I can improve a lot! It's a starting point!

Hope you'll enjoy!

P.S. A big "THANK YOU" to my friend Leonardo Corradetti for the music of this game and for beta-testing the game along with my two brothers (to whom I'm also thankful)! :wink:
