How it feels
A short, whimsical mystery where you explore a goofy clown world as a hard-boiled detective, balancing silly balloon tricks with noir-like investigation.

What players say
Players praise the charm and writing, though they split on length: many finish in under two hours and call it too short, while others find it priced fairly for a game-jam-sized experience. The balloon-animal mechanic is a standout, and achievements are widely reported as bugged. There are multiple endings.
