Suspension of comic relief.



<span class="bold">The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendon&ccedil;a and Pizzaboy&reg;</span>, an offbeat tale of supernatural mystery, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.


You may know Lisbon as this picturesque, historical city at a three-hour driving distance to excellent wine. What you probably didn't know is that Lisbon also happens to be kind of an international hub for supernatural beings, living incognito among us. Overweight werewolf Dog Mendonça is one of them but he is also a professional problem solver, as is his strikingly unremarkable apprentice Eurico, the ex-pizzaboy. Or so he claims.

Regular folk may be unaware of the monsters living in their midst but that doesn't mean that the strange disappearances of supernatural citizens have gone unnoticed by these brave investigators of the occult. Under the dispassionate guidance of his hairy mentor, Eurico will once again team up with a millenia-old demon trapped in the body of a small girl and a whacky gargoyle that just can't seem to keep its head attached to its body. Together they will scour the Lisbon underworld for clues, persons of interest, and items not nailed to the ground in this point'n'click entry to the noir-ish comic book universe. Before they can crack this case open, however, they will have to crack some skulls and perhaps even the perceived boundaries of the material world.


Navigate Eurico through the monster-filled underbelly of Lisbon and unravel <span class="bold">The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendon&ccedil;a and Pizzaboy&reg;</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% discount will last until March 11.
Third screenshot, is that a loli I detect
Another backer here who doesn't do Steam. I got one Steam key but I'm supposed to receive an extra key as well. Let's hope that second one is a GOG key...

vicklemos: I knew this would appear in here, judging from the quality of this stunning game.
What is this and why does it look so awesome? (Instabought.)
high rated
Is it all serious, or is some humour tacked in somewhere there?

Like the art style, and the theme/plot sounds quite intriguing, the regional pricing, however, is a "no no".
Point and click? Adventure? Mystery?
Of course instabought.

The landlord wants my money too. GOG will you tell them that they have to wait?

Wouldn't it be nice when GOG would deliver the Android version and the comic book too? (Even though the landlord wouldn't like that.)

groze: Foda-se!!!

vicklemos: That escalou quickly my dear tuga!! :P
Let me take advantage of a PT-comic based game being released here to curse (heavily at that) in my native language at will. :P

It was a "happy" foda-se. Hahaha!!!

vicklemos: Whoa, would love to see a cypriot speaking french!
Just a few precisions: First off I'm not really a "Cypriot" (as in not a Greek of Cyprus whose family has lived in Cyprus for several generations or something...) -I was born and live here, but my parents are from mainland Greece... As for actually seeing me that would be kind of hard given this is an internet forum, but I can maybe give you a written example of my mastery of French. Regarding that mastery also, despite the fact Cyprus was ruled by a Frankish dynasty in the late middle ages, that period has long since elipsed and I thus learnt French the same way I learnt English -with language lessons (my father insisted on my learning French also, which means that my own level of French is rather above the average level of other people living in Cyprus -whose level is basic at best).

avatar
vicklemos: I mean, dunno the range of greek (or turk? famagusta? nicosia? damn what a mess! :P) accents on this lovely island blessed by Zeus himself ;P
Yes, the situation of this island is indeed a huge mess. The Turkish conquered Cyprus from the Venetians (who had gotten it from the aforementioned Frankish) in 1571, then they ceded the island to the English in 1878 and decided to reconquer the northern part (including indeed Famagusta) in 1974 (by using as a pretext the 18% of the Turkish community who lived on the island after 1571) -thus establishing themselves illegaly as an entity in this island. There isn't much we can do about that though, short of fighting them with an army - many Greeks of Cyprus have the illusion that maybe they can regain this territory with peaceful negotiations but the Turkish don't work that way...

Anyways because I gave way too much info on the subject and now your brain must hurt, here's an example of the promised proof of fluency in French (I can give you another if you so wish :-) ):

(That's from the period I was hoping that maybe the french forum could flourish. I was wrong apparently... *Huge sigh*)

hummer010: Yet another release with Linux and Mac versions not available at GOG.

This is becoming entirely too common.
Sometimes they say that Mac and Linux versions are coming soon, but no this time. :(

Treasure: snip
So much information. Whoa, I'm stunned here, I mean, really. We hear too little about the whole Cyprus affairs in the west. True shame.
And congratulations to you, someone who masters 3 languages quite well.

As for me, well, I can totally sing in both french and english AT almost the same time, like "aux sombres héros de l'amer / qui ont su traverser les océans du vide / A la mémoire de nous frères dont les sanglots si longs faisaient couler l'acide
Aaaalways lost in the sea.. alwaaaaays looost in the sea (wild harmonica gets in :P)"

Thanks a ton, I mean it. Lotsa cool cypr.. I mean, people who live in Cyprus in here. What a rush, a poor ol' zairean/huehuebrr like moi chatting with folks from an island far, far away. GOG never ceases to amaze me ;)

HypersomniacLive: Is it all serious, or is some humour tacked in somewhere there?

Like the art style, and the theme/plot sounds quite intriguing, the regional pricing, however, is a "no no".
its a bit high price :D
game looks okay, to bad they have to scroll the screen when exploring the mansion main hall (where the fat guy is sitting in a chair (in the demo i saw on youtube)

90% of old click point games i played dont scroll they just move either to the far left or right and show next screen, so its not 100% classic point and click.

It looks more like brokensword part 5 i guess (havent played that yet)
havent played 90% of any games i bought in 2015 ... (summer/winter insomnia sales) i am mainly still stacking games on my shelf :D

Buy now and play later so to speak.
I am gonna do a little 'math'

€19.99 sale €17.99
You save €2.00 (10%

€1.90 OFF ANY FUTURE PURCHASE. You get bonus store credit (our Fair Price Package) to offset the regional pricing.





But why : Video: OpenGL 2.1 or higher
just use plain direct x 9.c






update: game seems to run okay so far so good :D
i'm gonna try it in the weekend

rgnrk: Getting a Steam key would be a bummer, since I don't use that. But maybe they can exchange it for a GOG key (I haven't received the Steam key yet, though).
In order to send GOG keys they have to ask GOG for keys and they have to send them to the backers, and I don't know if they're aware of that.
I just wrote them a message through kickstarter.

(And anyway, the do have "Backers will get a 100% DRM-free version and Steam key!" in they kickstarter information).
I have received the Steam key today but the "Backers will get a 100% DRM-free version and Steam key" could mean that the Steam key is "DRM-free" and they consider that enough...

The final message in the kickstarter is weird but not very positive :

"Hi, everyone!

I hope everyone here is doing fine. If someone is not fine, feel free to speak now or forever hold your peace. Because we won't be here to hear you soon. No, we will be gone soon. All too soon, if you ask me.

And we shall ride to greener pastures, to golden fields of rye where we shall be forever bathed in sunlight and slowly wane into the wind. We'll become dust, invisible to everyone but moonlight, and forgotten will be our deeds and our faces.

But worry not, my friends! We leave you with the farewell gift, a final boon to you, who have loved us as much as we have loved you. You shall receive the key to the kingdom we leave behind. A Steam Key, that is. On Friday, that is.*

So, fare thee well, and may we meet each other again, on some sunny day.

Ciao, ciao!"

For me, they are sending just this Steam key and I don't even know if this company will survive...
OKAM Studio posted this in the Kickstarter backers only update #35:

"We are sending personal emails, if you want a GOG version answer the email and we will send them once we have those keys from Koch! Thank you so much for your support!"

I would like to have a GOG version. Looks like an interesting adventure.

vicklemos: ...We hear too little about the whole Cyprus affairs in the west. True shame....
True shame indeed. No wonder Cyprus and Greece have been treated with ignorance every now and then in modern history. Nobody really cared, when the Turks took advantage of a favourable situation and seized parts of Cyprus. Same goes for the time, when a mislead former Yugoslavian country named itself Macedonia, while Macedonia is officially the northern part of Greece, the core region of the ancient Greek kingdom Macedonia. The population of nowadays Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia is Slavic not Greek. They don't even speak Greek, but that didn't stop their government from making the ancient Macedonian Star banner their own, let alone naming their country Macedonia. I still don't understand how Greek's European partners could let this happen without any protest .. guess we hear too little about these affairs in the west, or are we simply too indifferent ;-)

Bummer that GOG only has the Windows version. Oh well, off to Steam I go to get my Linux version.
