NOTES & WARNINGS:
Content warning for profanity, cartoon violence, blood, bones, dead things, and some monsters with funky teeth.
This is a kinetic novel, so there are no plot-altering choices or alternate endings to unlock. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the story.
This is intended to be a comedic supernatural/horror story, and for the most part, isn't all that much scarier than your average episode of Scooby-Doo. For the most part.

Dear Streamers: If you'd like to stream this game, you are more than welcome to (in fact, I'd love a link to it)! However, do keep in mind that it's geared towards older teen and adult audiences, and make note of the content warnings (there is a fair amount of cursing.)
HEY! Psst. Yeah, you. This game is free-to-play, but the team and I have worked really hard on it. If you're feeling generous enough to tip us a dollar or more, you'll get access to some wallpapers featuring a certain very good ghost doggo as thanks!

I strangely want a giant pet spider now...
I've finally checked it out~
It's longer than episode 1 for sure~
I was kinda hoping the two cases between Bessie and The Weasels are related but apparently not! It was nice~
I played the first episode a while back and this follow-up was incredibly fun! Looking forward to more!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed this installment as well! More is certainly on the way :)
Hey thanks for being the first streamer/YouTuber to play the second one! I'm glad you liked this one too! As for more decisions, I am planning to incorporate more gameplay features like branching dialogue and point and click segments in future chapters, but it's never going to be anything that changes the outcome of the story because that gets really complicated, really fast. I'm still one person doing all the art, writing, and programming for this, so I kind of have to limit the scope if I'm going to get chapters out in a timely manner haha. I'm aiming to have the next one done later this summer!
