The Lady or The Tiger?
A short point-and click quest with logical puzzles.
This game was initially created for a games jam. I took a book of logical puzzles by Raymond Smullyan as a source and adapted some of them for point-and-click gameplay format.
I made up some new characters and wrote some stories and quests for them, thus making four different endings of the game, depending on who you help.
I scripted the game logic using a visual tool. I also did the text localization.
My friends helped me with graphics and music.
This game is sort of a tribute to the point-and click classics and was heavily inspired by Torin's Passage, King's Quest series, Full Throttle, The Neverhood and others that I used to play when I was a kid.

Indie Press and player reviews
Good old fairy tale "princess will marry anyone, ANYONE" plot...

Though short, The Lady or the Tiger? is a fun, weird little game that will appeal to anyone with a noggin for riddles and a bleak sense of humour.

This game is quite interesting for a barebones version... it has surprisingly large amounts of content (and good dialogue too), though it doesn't give that appearance at first.
<...>
I don't see too many of these games, probably because of the lack of hard gameplay, but this one kept me interested. Good job!

I like games that do have some meaning and share some valuable information with the player. Gaming is one of the most natural learning processes and I hope to master making the most of it in the future.
