About
« You set foot in the mysterious city of Falaisant, with no memories of who you are. Lost and hopeless, you hire the only detective agency willing to help you. There's only one issue: They. Are. DISASTROUS! »
CANNELÉ & NOMNOM — DEFECTIVE AGENCY is a fantasy comedy interactive fiction game. Players follow an amnesic individual who hires a duo of disastrous detectives in order to investigate these three mysteries:
🔎 1. Who are you?
✨ 2. What's your magical Gift?
👁️ 3. What happened to your memories?

[+] 🃏 Poker-Faced Hanged Maid
Use your wits to relieve senior citizens of their money in a totally original card game that is not at all a mashup of Poker, Hangman and Old Maid.
[+] ✨ The Three Laws of Magic
Figure out how magic works in this world, by using its Gifts in many critical situations such as: looking smart, dining and dashing, or fighting cops.
[+] 🔍 The Investigation Phase (time limited) Right now, C&N — Defective Agency is in its Investigation Phase.
At some point, the game will ask you to submit your personal theory about the main mystery's solution. We will read all the answers sent to us before Spring 2023.
The most compelling answers will have a chance to become part of the story's canon and influence the Resolution Phase's* endings.
Who knows? Perhaps it's your theory that will change the characters' fate…
* The Resolution Phase will be published later in 2023, at which point the game will revert to its full price of 6$.
