I present you Melon Head; a fantastical adventure in a delirious imaginary world!
Story:
In the hedonistic capital of His Majesty's Realm a faceless king commissions a local sculptor, Melon Head, our protagonist whose head is shaped like a melon, to craft an extension to His royal staff.
An extraordinary vision reveals an object of rare composition: A Crystal Iris Distillate. Pursuing the parts needed to craft the object essential in fulfilling the royal request, Melon Head precipitates to a strange adventure across His Majesty's Realm. He must use cunning, questionable morals and sharpness of intellect to succeed in his task and, ultimately, to choose between allegiance to his perceived benefactor and the rising fo…rces of dissidence seeking to overthrow the balance of power.
Features:
-Strange characters of undefined species.
-Puzzles to intrigue the mind (item puzzles, dialog trees and other stuff).
-A built in hint system if you get stuck.-Exploration of different areas of His Majesty's Realm.
-Three endings depending on choices.
-Colorful and highly saturated pixel art on a 16-color palette (an original art style using the EGA palette).
-Psychedelic visions.
-An out there jazzy original soundtrack.

I loved this. It's like walking around in surrealist paintings, where the oddest things are normal. Wonderfully weird, and fun to play.
A LSD trip without the brain damage! It's surreal but makes sense. Bringing up a serious topic but humor makes it enjoyably digestable. It's art but the puzzles make it entertaining at the same time. I managed two endings but rumors say there are three. The great built-in hint system is a bonus.
Just finished the demo, what an extraordinary experience! As a newcomer to the AGS community, projects like this inspire me so much.
Can't wait to see what other great stuff I can find from dedicated creators such as yourself.
