The couple of evenings I spent on the game were truly unforgettable. I thought that classic adventure games were not my cup of tea, but I was wrong. Looking forward to your upcoming projects.
Hey! I'm going to delete your comment because that's a great big spoiler, but to answer your question - nothing changes if you don't happen to have it.
Loved it! The page here is thoughtfully complete and the additional guide with all the facts and trivia is totally worth the extra $2! Thank you so much!
Great game - I didn't feel it was too easy - in fact I became stuck a few times - wait, think, come back, solve, move on, get stuck, rinse, repeat - which is a pro in my book. Recommended!
After eyeing this for a while, the current discount made me finally take the plunge. As someone who grew up with games like King's Quest, Space Quest, and Black Cauldron, this game was a pure shot of nostalgia and warmth for me. Thank you for creating it! I hope you make more with this engine, it's very slick.
I am playing the game and loving it. However, Where is Vinny, I have not yet ran into him? And the guide says he is in Circle J, but he is not. How do I trigger his appearance?
I'm experiencing a bug that is making it impossible to finish the game!
Spoiler alert below!
I am unable to use the duck feather in the comic book shop. There is no exclamation mark prompt like there normally is when you walk up to the comic book store owner, and trying to use the duck feather when near him just shows "it's just a duck feather."
Anyone else having this problem and is there a fix?
The comic shop owner has already taught you the magic spell, and you don't need to use the duck feather there, you need to use the duck feather somewhere else where levitation could be useful.
(I should probably improve the dialog there to make it more clear.)
Hey! Thanks so much, and yes - I have plans for at least two more! If you wouldn't mind giving the game a rating when you have a chance it would help me out a ton!
Amazing game ! Detailed graphics, beautiful scenery, funny dialogues, nice little intrigues. This is one of the most polished game in playdate and in my top 3 :)
Sorry for the late response! I'm pretty sure Catalog supports vouchers, so if there's something you want of mine that you've already paid for here just let me know and I'll send you a code for it.
The only games that will have features that aren't supported outside of Catalog are Generations and Shift, which are going to use Panic's leaderboard API like some of the season games. This API is not usable for non-Catalog distributions (which is really sad), but everything else will be the same.

One of the best (if not the best) adventure game on the Playdate.
everything about this game is stunning.
Please make more adventure games. Thank you!
Hey, thanks! I appreciate that! There will be others!

Happy you had fun! Thanks for playing it - drop a rating on it if you have some time!

I loved all of those games too - thanks for picking it up, I'm happy you're enjoying it!
One of the best games available for the playdate
Wow, thanks! Happy you've enjoyed it! Please consider rating it when you have the time!
Hello, I
I am playing the game and loving it. However, Where is Vinny, I have not yet ran into him? And the guide says he is in Circle J, but he is not. How do I trigger his appearance?
Glad you're having fun with it! Email me at scenicroutegames@gmail.com and I'll let you know what to do - don't want to post any spoilers here!

Please make more games like this one! Definitely my favorite till now!! Can’t wait for another adventure game from you <3 Big love!

of course I will. I just haven’t seen were to rate it but I will search now and do it with pleasure :)

I'm so glad you've had fun with it - and thank you so much for the rating!
Are you bringing your games to Catalog?
I am very much hoping to. I've submitted Post Hero, Shift, Generations and Greed for consideration. Just waiting to hear back from Panic!
I've just received word from Panic that all four of the games I've submitted were approved for Catalog!
Well deserved! I'll have to double dip then. Any chances you offer some kind of discount to your itch.io buyers? ;)
Sorry for the late response! I'm pretty sure Catalog supports vouchers, so if there's something you want of mine that you've already paid for here just let me know and I'll send you a code for it.

I recommend paying extra for the map and guide.
Not doing that is my only regret. This game is fun, and I love the writing too.
❤️
Any possibility I can throw in a few more dollars to get the map and guide? Didn’t notice that option until after purchasing base game. :)
Emailed you!
Love this game so far, and generations! Just wanted to report a bug where if I interact with any object on the cow poop, it crashes my playdate!
I guess that’ll teach you to not to poke cow poop with whatever you happen to have on you.
Thanks for letting me know! Glad you’re having fun with it (and Generations!). I’ll have a patch for that and some other issues soon.
Fixed!
Hi! How long is this game?
Love the art, by the way.
Thanks!
From what I’ve heard it’s taking folks around 2.5 to 3 hours to get to the ending. The shorter end of that is without getting all 146 points.
I can get through the whole thing in about 45 minutes, so it’s at the very least that long if you wrote it and and know what to do!
Very well-polished game!
However, as a postal employee who has real world in the field mail delivering experience*, i can't help but notice a few points.
On the first day, you wouldn't have a uniform -- you get a uniform allotment after 90 days of work or 120 calendar days.
You WOULD have the satchel, however. But in training they tell you not to wear it cross-body in case of dog attacks.
A lack of dog spray and dog horns.
Also I got a bug where if you spam A at the garden gnome attacking you, the text box doesn't go away.
Follow me for pro mail delivering tips.
*i got fired last week**
**this is not a joke
I'm sorry you were fired, but I have no regrets regarding the lack of accuracy - on the bright side, 1.0.2 fixes the stuck dialog boxes!
