Yes, thanks flotsam.
The game seems "unfinished" in many ways.
Maybe they ran out of money for developement.

After watching the end of Part 3 of the "walkthrough" by "SomeGuy" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jWKczcA2L8

"SomeGuy" seems to have enjoyed it. I have to wonder if it doesn't qualify as a "so bad it's good" type of game, like the ones in JA's "Dungeon of Shame." Of course not everyone appreciates games like that.

One example of a "Dungeon of Shame" game is Zombieville --

Thanks very much for your review, flotsam grin

The game doesn't sound like anything I'd fancy crazy

Hi there, I am Marco from bluebox interactive (Developer of Jerry McPartlin)

Thanks for the review. I'm sorry, you didn't have the fun with the game as we intended to.

I'd like to point out that the review seems not to be based on the latest version of the game.

Many of the mentioned issues are solved in the meantime.

For Example

*I had to find a key for a locker and the number was wrong
*Some triggers are pedantic, and if you miss them (make sure you right click now and then) you will be stuck.
*The inordinately convoluted effort to get from one end of the school corridor to the other said it all.

Also we have removed some locations from the travel map, when not needed anymore, to reduce the "running around".

Heres the complete list of minor changes we made some days ago.

-----------------
Improved light setting in various scenes
Improved travel map during finale
Character interaction optimized in various scenes
Music now playing in main menu
Running speed optimized in various scenes
Auto-walk in long hallways
Localization and Sound improved
Logic and story improvements
Bugs and Glitches fixed
------------------

I hope you give it a try smile

Best wishes from Germany

Marco

welcome to GameBoomers, Marco. Thanks for letting us know about the changes that were implemented to your game.

That's good to know. I only played the first 30 minutes (approximately) of the game and have gotten sidetracked with the new Add On for Witcher 3.

I would assume, since I bought the game from Steam, that the changes mentioned will be automatically updated on steam.

Hi Marco and welcome to GameBoomers. This was the review copy provided so it likely was not the latest version.
Glad to hear you got some fixes made and thank you for stopping in to tell us.

Thought so ;), we are still working and fixing.

The latest changes are

• Lip movement for all characters added
• Logic and Sound improvements
• Additional fixes for occasional freezes

We'll do our best, to go in improving and remember all of your thoughts when planning the next Game wink

Thanks
