Default Official Release: A Case of the Crabs

Pinhead Games would like to announce the release of a brand new Freeware graphic adventure game: A Case of the Crabs. The game is a short online point & click adventure in a comedic film noir setting. The game is available to play online or download at:

www.otterarchives.com/bountygame.html

I hope you enjoy the game!

I am also looking for some creative people to write walkthroughs and hint guides to be included on the official site. It interested just write one up and e-mail me at: [email protected]

Thanks, have fun, and let me know what you think of the game!

I have not played very much but so far it seems very well-crafted.

However, I wish I could save my current game...

That's not too shabby at all.

Well done, but...
Spoiler:
I found the crab spitting on the fusebox puzzle to be quite obscure. Also, when it comes to using tin cans and string (or in this case, wire), the string needs to be taut. That way the vibrations can actually travel to the other can, and the person on that end can hear through it. But this actually wouldn't help with the window situation at all: you'd be better off just listening straight up against the window, or listening directly to the can propped up against the window (you can supposedly use glasses against a wall to eavesdrop better).

Never mind, I finished it without saving :-)
Spoiler:
I liked that the same inventory items had be used several times, and that I had to examine things before I could use them (like taking the fake crab and taking fingerprints) even if I had figured out what to do anyway.
