Let's Play: Jam and the Mystery of the Mysteriously Spooky Mansion
1I picked this game up from the Racial Justice bundle from itch.io.
Jam and the Mystery of the Mysteriously Spooky Mansion is such an interesting game. You take on the role of Jam, a child genius detective who's about to crack this case wide open. The problem is that whilst you've caught the bad guy, you don't actually know what they've done. So you have to look around this spooky house, collect evidence (maybe set some things on fire) and then deduce the crime.
The game comes with 16 different endings depending on what evidence you combine. They are all absurd and I enjoyed them all immensely. The writing in this game is punchy and hilarious. The entire premise is a great subversion of the child-detective genre and does a great job of poking holes in what is in all honesty a pretty ridiculous premise. There are a few puzzles in the game, but they are by and large a means to an end, which is to say one of the many endings.
You can get through the whole game in under an hour, and I recommend it.
