Football Game gets you with it dark screens and moody atmosphere that is reminiscent of Twin Peaks and other mystery series while it is set in the 1980s and features cars and other things from that time. Sometimes it's hard to see the objects because it's so dark on the screen, but you get used to it pretty fast and enjoy it for the atmosphere. The portraits of the talking characters get the job done but somehow look strange, but this fits the strange mood of the game. The music by Jupiter C is really great and sets the tone of the game while the soundeffects are fitting but rather sparse. The story is somehow predictable but the way it unfolds works great and makes you want to find out more all the time, so this is done right.
An interesting if short game, some sections relied a little too much on going back and forth but otherwise well designed puzzles. Where this game is very strong is in the atmosphere it creates and the ending that leaves you pondering long after you've finished playing the game.
No problem sawyer, hope you like it :)
Thank you very much for the info on the Demo "not".
And yes tomorrow I am purchasing.
The AGS website simply labels all links to commercial games as "Download Demo" as far as I'm aware? There is no demo for this game, as it is short! The game is also available via itch.io: https://shaun9991.itch.io/footballgame
