Demon Quest by Carduus

[raw]
made by Carduus for LD25 (JAM)
Demon Greg is about to get his demonic degree, but he has a last exam to pass...

We hope you will like this Point'n Click.

We still have some trouble with collision map, so click near your feets ;)

Puzzles come from Thotor's twisted mind, then if you d'ont find solution or you are stuck, just take a look on the walktrough aviable from the top of the site.

Known bugs:

Stuck? Just click on a door to get unstuck ;)

I didn't get very far, but I like what I see so far. A very nice job!

Beautiful art and perfectly suited music. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get very far and then literally got stuck - buttons would still light up but clicking on stuff didn't do anything. I was standing to the right of the Groom's cart, I had the number, the lighter, and the pills.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments !
To avoid getting stuck after dialog, do not skip them (by clicking) or do other action at the same time.
I will be releasing a fix for that soon.

I will also post a walkthrough and fix the final scene script (it doesn't go to the ending right now)

If you have collision/stuck issue, you can just use/walk to a door and you will get 'teleported'. Fixing the collision would require a lot of time

Good game here, as always. :)
And Point'n Click are my favourites ones.

"it doesn't go to the ending right now"
- so for now, the last scene is in the dark room, or have I missed something ?

Reaaally good graphisms and music.
I got stuck some times as well by the dialogs.

And I couldn't really get so far. But i'll give another go.
Good job :)

Really lovely presentation, and I liked the monkey island reference! Still yet to complete it but I love point and clicks and you obviously know how to set them up (unless I find that the solution is completely stupid! haha.)

Really nice game, i didn't go very far, but really like the mood of it. And congratulation to Carduus for the art.

presentation: awesome, though I didn't get very far (stuck on first try, reloaded, then wished for hotkeys for the actions :/ like L for 'look at' etc)
I could imagine this on mobile though, in one of the app stores (in a bigger scale, of course, with this being the first level or so). did you know? you got a quick review on IndieGames.com http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IndependentGaming/~3/KZdc8SK3ySU/browser_game_pick_demon_quest_.html

Thanks for the feedback. It's really appreciated.

@Radiatoryang : I agree. Some of the dialogs options I made are out of place (espacially one). Also the last scene is not what we had planned. It was made in the last 30 minute.
We were clearly short on time. Many animations and interactions are missing

We will try to make a post-compo version with everything we originally had in mind.

Getting the phone number wasn't very obvious. But the rest was easy enough yo find.
Awesome graphics, I especially loved the groom!

I'm not a huge fan of point'n'clic adventures but there's a lot of good work here, graphics are amazing, controls are simple, the game was a bit difficult for me, but still really enjoyable, great job D:

The graphics and music are fantastic. Gameplay is pretty good, though the options to pick from are sometimes not intuitive, and in few cases they don't make any sense at all. UI and the engine could use a little more work, but maybe it's just a matter of preference (and I know it's not easy being constrained to one mouse button when developing adventure game engine). It's a great entry!

Great graphics, music and text and ideas! I think it misses sounds from the environment though. I have been also slightly annoyed at times by the frequent need to click on Use/Talk to/Pick up/... then the object in the environment. I think there is room for improvement here, in order for the game to be more pleasant to play.

Very nice graphics. The movement is kinda slow, and the clicking is not very responsible, but I liked the script.

Beautiful, great music, cool dialogs...
I'm amazed by this game! That's so great that you can put something like that out in 72 hours!
Congratulations, one of the best entries I've played until now!

Gorgeous looking game. I like point and click as well.
The music was very nice, but personally I didn't think it fitted the game. In game maybe soundeffects would have been better. But I'm nitpicking here.
