COMING THIS FALL to IFComp2015:

BRAIN GUZZLERS from BEYOND!

brain_guzzlers_title.jpg

You are Bonnie Noodleman, Ordinary Well-Adjusted Teen-Ager, on an ordinary well-adjusted drive up Make-Out Mountain, when some gooey monstrosity from the stars comes right out of nowhere and guzzles your boyfriend’s brains clean out of his head. Jeepers! Can you convince everyone you’re not koo-koo in time, or is YOUR thinker next on the menu?

-Visit beautiful Canyonville, New Mexico in America’s favorite year, 1959!
-NEW and IMPROVED less terrible conversation system!
-A free link to a jpeg of a coffin will be provided for anyone who DIES OF FRIGHT while playing!

If your brain is eaten, do you get to play from the hive mind’s perspective for the rest of the game? :wink:

I have to wait all the way until Comp to play? Sniff. It looks fantastic. Can’t wait to play it.

Yay teaser! Looks like fun (and I love the cover art).

Out of curiosity - parser or choice-based?

Mostly parser-based, but it uses the Hybrid Choices extension for NPC conversations and in a few other situations.
It’s had a little testing, but not very much so far, so anyone interested in helping with that should send me a message; my goal is to have the final puzzles in by the end of July so there’s enough time to catch plenty of bugs!
