Plot
You're a university student who, as often happens, has to go study at the university library. Unfortunately, this time something will get in your way...

Some notes
Hello everybody!
This is a "remake" of the first in a series of small, somewhat comic (or at least trying to be) games I made for my friends back in university, over 20 years ago. I've tried to clean up the parts that wouldn't make sense outside of our group of friends, and I've also tried to make the graphics not too repulsive, but as you can see my skills leave a bit to be desired.
In the coming months I plan to slowly restore the other games as well. It will take several months because the graphics part takes me a really, really long time. But whatever.

All graphics are mine (except for one adapted background).
The music comes from the website: incompetech.com
The few sound effects are from: freesound.org

The game takes up about 60 MB (zipped) or 74 MB (unzipped) because of the music.

The language can be vulgar and childish at times. Be prepared. Sorry for that.

Languages
Italian and English.
The default language is Italian, but it should be set to start in English (if I didn't mess something up...)

Regarding the translation
I did it myself, double-checked it and gave it to some friends to review, but I'm sure there are still a ton of mistakes. I apologize in advance and hope it's still understandable.

And... I think that's all.
Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to try this!

Hello,

I have a mystery to solve and I hope you can help me to uncover it.
Some time ago I recovered an old hard disk in which I stored, among other things, a lot of midi songs from old videogames. We are talking about late 20th century stuff, games from the 90s and even late 80s, mostly adventure games like Zak McKracken, Loom, Indiana Jones etc.

And then I found this little march:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7BV1RT2_BGCMEpEWkhhbHgwLTg/view?usp=sharing

Let's put aside the fact that this file is .mp3 and not .mid (it will take some time to explain and it's not really important).
I know this sounds weird, but this song has sentimental value to me and some of my friends. Again, the story may be too long to tell and I have the feeling that nobody wants to hear it; anyhow, we'd really like to know where it come from.

Does anybody know this song? Have you ever heard it before? Does this song remind you of something?

Here's the things I know:
- I know almost for sure that this song comes from a videogame, high chance that the videogame is an old adventure game, and that's why I'm asking you. I spent A LOT of time in vgmusic.com and mirsoft.info searching for that videogame. Literally months (never found it of course  );
- there's a chance that comes from a software with its own midi library, something like RPGmaker (I already downloaded some old version of RPGmaker and I haven't found the song);
- the file name is: "unknown.mp3". Doesn't help. I remember how I recorded it from and old AGS .vox file many years ago, so this name gives us no clue.

That' all I guess.
Thanks in advance and sorry to bother you with this strange question.

Hi all, I'm quite new in this forum and this is my first game designed for people other than my friends. So... I'm not so proud to present:

McCabras

Story:

Meet Fred, an engineering student who is taking his second degree in chemical engineering. He just wants to study in life and he sees almost everybody as a nuisance and a waste of molecules that contributes to the death of the universe with his every action.
One day he discovers that his department has suddenly been closed down and the dean of the faculty has gone missing. He doesn't care, but he needs all of that in order to study, so he starts looking for the dean in a world full of people that annoy him.
Of course, later he will realise that there's more at stake than just that... and still he won't care about it.

Game genre: Contemporary
Game type: Comedy
Also, if all goes well it will be the first of a trilogy.
In order to play this game you also have to know at least what entropy is. Just kidding, but let's say it doesn't hurt to know a bit of thermodynamics.

!!!VERY IMPORTANT!!! Because of the "indecent" nature of a particular dialog (and an inventory item) the game is not suitable for children.
Demo download:
You can download a kind of demo here to get into the spirit:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d-aSQQDjNEPEArw5e-_smcviilTWy3FT/view?usp=sharing
You can find 4 rooms, some dialogs and some "secret" (unnecessary) interactions.

Future features:
- modified Thimbleweed template (the demo uses the BASS template for the sake of simplicity);
- more movie/Simpsons/adventure game references;
- better walk cycle, I'm sure I can do it;
- pen spinning competition;
- an heartbreaking non-love story;
- an Italian translation, which actually would be the main language.
