John the gardener reckons he cops the blame for everything. And he does. For good reason - he always does it. But this time he's been accused of something he sure as hell didn't do.
Murder.
Flirt shamelessly with the cop, the shy and creepy butler and the son of the deceased master to prove your innocence and catch the perp.

CHARACTERS
John
The gardener and the protagonist. He has a short temper and a slight case of sticky fingers. He says he is always blamed for everything (becuase it's always him), but this time he's innocent.
Oh, and did I mention he's gay?
Luka
The shy, quiet butler. He is friendly towards everyone, but is a little scared of John. He can be quite spooky, seemingly appearing and disappearing into thin air like a ghost.
Harry
The young cop. This is his first case and he is determined to solve it, taking his job very seriously. But John's constant flirting and Luka's appearing out of nowhere is flustering him. He is convinced that there is something going on in the mansion.
Mark
The (dead) mansion owner's son. He is currently going through a rebellious phase and is always sulking, despite the smile on his face. His father was murdered, but it seems he doesn't care...
Both writing and scripting are at 25%
CGs 0% (Don't currently have a CG artist)
There won't be music
Backgrounds are at 50%, I still need to get a few.
Sprites 50% (well, I have half of them)
I'm currently working on Luka's path. So far there's around 3,000 words (yeah that's not much I know, but school's a drag). I have a few screenshots of the first little bit that basically introduces the characters.
So far I've got all the paths planned, although there'll only be one choice (I'm really sorry, but I'll try to make up for it with interesting dialogue and cute paths
(even if two of them end in bloodshed)
Look, Look, an update! (even if it's a very small and not interesting one).
I've basically just written all the endings. Unconventional, but that's how I roll. I have the three major events planned for Luka's route, and I'm beginning planning Mark's.
Harry still seems really boring to me, I've sort of formulated his path, but it's super boring and kind of weak. Any advice/ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.
Still looking for a CG artist (psst if you're interested, PM me, it would help me out).
Hopefully I can get some feedback from you all, what you like, what you'd like to see, which character appeals the most to you that sort of thing.
I've also almost got enough for a brief demo - just the beginning, the first day where you meet everyone and get some brief information. Would you guys be interested in checking that out once I get Harry's and Mark's sprites?
I seriously just want to send hundreds and hundreds of hugs to a-box who is doing the sprites for this game. Seriously. I love you.
Rated M for swearing, crap pick up lines and a tacky mystery.
This is my FIRST EVER ATTEMPT AT PROGRAMMING! Whoo!
I am determined to finish this. It will be finished, even if it kills me.
Thanks for looking!
