¿Que Pasa Perro? - A Graphical Text Adventure

[Discoalucard]

Did a small update. The only major thing it changes is that there's now a countdown until the boulder instead of it happening immediately once you leave the backyard. Of course, it's now also possible to get squashed by it.

Also added a few more death scenes - try to find them! - along with some easter eggs.

Well, it looks like the Swedish hobo delivers two awesome deaths now. :3

The hobo strikes back and eats your arm.

The curse of the Swedish tears the flesh from your bones.

EDIT: Also, was the headsplosion death there before, or did I simply miss it in my first playthrough? I thought the game was broken at first...

[Discoalucard]

That one's always been there.

Also, try hanging around in the slums for like 10 turns or so...

Final (ish, barring any bugs) version uploaded, official page is here:

I'll be posting a FAQ soon, that has both spoiler and non-spoiler walkthroughs. In the meantime, remember that Google Translate should get you through the entire game.

This game looks amazing and as soon as I have some papers done I will beat it.

[Discoalucard]

Well, since basically no one is talking about this I'm assuming no one's playing it. So, I went ahead and translated everything into English. It's in a separate executeable with the full game:

I didn't really want to do this since it being in a foreign language is one of the major aspects, but I understand that playing a text adventure like this might be a bit much.

The spoiler-free walkthrough won't work, but none of the puzzles have changed, so the standard one will be fine.

I want to find out more about the El Consquistador Especial 124 computer, and how it looked like, but even the best search engine mankind has made failed. What should I do next?

[Discoalucard]

Play the game and don't worry about it! Trust me on this.

Alternatively: read the earlier posts in this thread!

Read our description of it again thoroughly, while applying some common sense, perhaps?

Have you tried plugging it on Spanish language forums? (The Spanish section on MSX Ressource Center comes to mind.) I understand it's no perfect Spanish, but some people might have particular fun with that.

I feel compelled to play this...

So Sweden was far removed from the Europe that was in the middle of World War II, which seemed safe enough.

Well, as a swede, I think that Sweden was the center of WW2

[Malroth]

I punched in "apply common sense" and it matar'd the perro. I'm glad those Spaniards died from incest.

[Ryusui]

I'll be honest...it's kinda depressing to see how many people didn't get the joke here.

For those who want the full story, it's at the end of the FAQ here.

EDIT: Also, I went ahead and made a TVTropes page for the game. Enjoy.

[Discoalucard]

That's awesome! Thanks!! I'll be sure to link it.

A couple of extra fun bits:

-The passwords are references to movies parodied by MST3K. This is more evident in the English version, obviously. The exception is "What is Grass?" (the first password), a reference to a short done by Rifftrax, one of the successors of MST3K. (It's 99 cents here and well worth it: www.rifftrax.com/shorts/at-your-fingertips-grasses )

-Get all of the items from the store, exit, type in "ME GUSTA METH" then walk back in. This is part of my initiative where every game I ever make will have a Breaking Bad reference.

-I've never been quite sure of a proper translation for "jamoneria" but I called it the "ham store" in the walkthrough (and maybe the English version, if it's referenced.)

-Some of the references to other games were intentional, like the power plant blowing up if you put in the wrong code (Maniac Mansion). Deciphering that code, however, is unintentionally similar to that same game, where a passcode was hidden in the high score table of an arcade game.

-The Spanish word for "Swede" is "Sueco", while the word for dirty is "suico". They look and sound similar, especially when put together ("Sueco suico" or "filthy Swede"), but again, I hadn't thought that through before I made it up.

-The game really hates trees for some reason. Try looking at them in the backyard and the park.

Someone was crazy enough to record a walkthrough and put it up on Youtube:

The music is very fitting! It also let me know that I forgot to translate the part in the nuclear power plant so it's still in Spanish even in the English version. Eh.
