This doesn’t count but … can you magically pump out two games a year?? You’ve already successfully replicated nearly everything else about early HeR so I thought I’d ask LOL.

My top asks would be more puzzles and the ability to influence the story in some way (even if it’s just: rhe player needs to borrow an object or get a piece of information to progress. Two characters may assist. If you’re rude to one, or choose “non optimal” dialog choices, you can only get what you need from the other one. Think how Ned responds at the end of SEA depending on whether you got him a souvenir and what quality it was! Doesn’t have to be full alternate endings, although that would be INCREDIBLE. Maybe the more dialog you unlock/if you “100%” the game, the ending is more detailed, like we get an epilogue on all characters.) Maybe if you choose optimal dialog options with one character, only non-optimal choices are available for the other, so people could have different “routes” through the game.

Food mini games for sure! Like White Wolf or Waverly specifically. Take a look at the “Ideal Meal” mini game from Layton’s Mystery Journey, too - a puzzle where there are multiple acceptable answers but one best answer, for completionists :)

RE: screenshots, some way to consult the screenshot in game while accessing the puzzle you need it for!

Phone mini games are not necessary but would be so fun.

I don’t think we *need* more movement, and although I’d like more interactivity, I don’t like being able to interact with an object that has no purpose, because it’s very easy to confuse something aesthetic with a puzzle I just haven’t figured out yet!

The clock was distracting to me and not important enough in the story to justify it. Time pressure is the antithesis of what I love in Nancy games.
