Detective Gallo has passed its funding target on Italian crowdfunding platform Epella. Thanks to the community’s generous donations, indie developers Footprints Games will be able to improve the game in time for its release in the summer of 2017.
Footprints Games and publisher Adventure Productions were seeking €15,000 to add an extra layer of polish to their upcoming game. Detective Gallo is a comedy-noir adventure featuring a cynical feathered detective protagonist, who must solve the mystery of a case of multiple plant murder. Harking back to adventure classics such as Sam & Max, the game is set to be released in June next year.
The funds will be spent on improving the game’s animations, as well as extending the cutscenes and providing both English and Italian voiceovers to the game.
Check out the Trailer:
“In the darkness enveloping a city like any other, five exotic plants are the victims of a shocking event. There’s no doubt, it’s a multiple plant murder.
The city is not particularly shocked by the tragic incident, but a multi-billionaire is willing to pay an outrageous amount of money to solve the mystery.
And who, if not Detective Gallo, can accept the challenge (and the generous advance of his client)?
For the most cynical and sarcastic detective there is, a case that starts as a trivial domestic accident will turn out to be the most intricate investigation his cactus (!) has ever seen…
Detective Gallo is a point&click comic-noir adventure that is entirely hand-illustrated and hand-animated, and whose protagonist is a feathered and grumpy private eye struggling with a very tricky case, bizarre characters, and puzzles that will put his insight and patience to the test.”
