Squash & Stretch
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Stretch was only drawn three weeks ago. If he had it his way, he'd spend all the time he could goofing off with his friends, annoying his boss, while pining over his potential sweetheart. But what started off as a simple eyewitness to vandalism, slowly turns into a strange conspiracy that has him questioning his place as a toon in the city of Monochrome.

Squash & Stretch is a sound/kinetic novel set in the backdrop of a monochromatic city on an island, inhabited by vintage toons of old.
This build is a prototype gauging interest. It will probably stay in this phase until past chapter five. The continued story would introduce new characters, themes, and story beats including an ongoing conspiracy plot. It would also include some additional visual elements and possibly sound/music.
Current Build Word Count: 65000 words

super fun read, cant wait for more if you make it ^^
Okay, this was really awesome and creative. Always love fantastic noir style stuff like this, and combining it with a cartoon aesthetic that is really interestingly different than I've seen it done before is super cool. I am admittedly curious to see how the conspiracy plot will go, you've set up one heck of an interesting mystery!
