Description
About This Game
A PUZZLE GAME WHERE FIXING THE MESS CREATES THE MAZE
Olaf and the Crowning Hangover is a comedic puzzle adventure where you piece together the fragmented memories of a blackout night.
You play as Olaf, a dwarf jeweler who wakes up with a throbbing headache, a missing royal crown, and an executioner waiting for the sunrise. To save his skin, Olaf must retrace his steps across the kingdom—from trashed taverns to guarded castles—and fix the chaos he caused.
But there’s a catch: Restoring order limits your freedom.
THE GAMEPLAY TWIST
Forget pushing crates to clear a path. Here, you are pulling the world back together.
Repair & Block: Every chair, table, or barrel you repair becomes a solid obstacle.
Reverse Logic: You don't clear space; you consume it. You must carefully plan your route, because restoring a room might just wall you into a corner.
Pull, Don't Push: Drag heavy objects into place to solve spatial puzzles that flip the classic "Sokoban" formula on its head.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT CLEANING
Olaf’s journey is filled with hazards that go beyond furniture. To survive this hangover, you’ll need to master diverse mechanics:
The "Conga Line": Gather lost patrons and lead them to safety. They follow you in a Snake-like chain—move carefully, or your own tail will trap you!
Stealth & Slips: Slide uncontrollably on ale-slicked floors and sneak past patrolling guards who don't appreciate your handiwork.
A HANGOVER WORTH DYING FOR
What started as a quiet drink spiraled into a kingdom-wide disaster. Unravel the mystery through almost 1,000 lines of witty dialogue and ridiculous situations.
You’ll meet (and likely annoy) a cast of eccentric characters, from Grimlak the grumpy orc carpenter to King Charles de Valois, who tries very hard to hide his gambling habit.
KEY FEATURES
Self-Blocking Gameplay: A unique twist on pathfinding where your progress creates new obstacles.
Varied Locations: Explore beyond the tavern—visit sawmills, castles, and dungeons in search of the crown.
Story-Driven Campaign: A humorous narrative with high stakes and a colorful cast of characters.
Retro Charm: Vibrant pixel art that blends nostalgic aesthetics with modern puzzle design.
