About

A dark comedy/horror game by Jesse Barksdale, creator of the static speaks my name. Help a cult complete a ritual in exchange for divine inspiration to finish writing your terrible novel. A story-focused experience where the choices you make determine which of the five unique endings you receive. Play multiple times to unlock the complete story. Takes around 45 minutes to complete once and another 20 minutes to get a few more endings. Includes nearly an hour of in-game audio commentary about the making of the game.
Created by the two person studio The Whale Husband.

Bucket Detective reviews and comments

I Do Not know how this game has come to my library of Steam (although I could say the same as 90% of games) but small jewel. It'S a walking simulator with a pretty beasty mood. It Only lasts an hour, so saying anything about the plot is practically spoiler, so my recommendation is to go as blind as possible. I mean, in the worst case, you can always make a refund. A malagent.

One Day, Orlov was eaten by a thick peas and died. And Krylov, having learnt about it, also has died. And Spyridonov died by himself. And Spyridonova's wife fell from the buffet and died too. And the children of Spiridonov drowned in the pond. And her grandmother Spiridonov went down and walked on the roads. And Mikhailov has ceased to hairstyle and has got sick parshoy. And Krulov drew a lady with a whip and went crazy. And Perhrevov received a telegram of four hundred rubles, and so he was so important that he was pushed out of the service. Good people and do not know how to put themselves on a firm foot.

Recipe for a Perfect life: 1) Try to write a cool novel to glue the librarian. 2) Go to an institution where you will learn how to write bestsellers by calling Cthulhu. 3) Learn the waltz. 4) Drop the baby off the ladder. 5) Baby-Bite. 6) Lose limbs. 7) Understand that losing bodies is more fun than writing novels. 8) Leave Your wife and find a girl who also has an eye for you. Bottom line: 20 porcelain spoons from 33 wall plates are Another masterpiece from the whale husband. Take without discount!

This is a chamber, strange and unusual Walking Simulator, uniting the motives of Gone Home, The Stanley Parable and the Amnesia series. Pure water arthouse in the genre of black comedy with elements of horror with non-thematic themes, inspired for its duration plot, a peculiar style and a good soundtrack. The Game in a bizarre way combines a specific author's vision, limited opportunities creators and ingenuity in many moments (to take at least the main menu, Raskazaschy whole story), but in all the great progress and scope Compared to the previous very tiny but sensational game of the same author-the Static Speaks my name (available on Steam for free). Would Jesse and his team have a serious budget, from Bucket Detective could come out a product of the scale and depth of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, only much more cynical and otvyaznoe. It is not recommended to non-human, pregnant and lactating women and men, Khanam and Moralofgam, persons who do not distinguish art and reality, people without a sense of humor and with the only right look at everything.
