The Barker & Mustard Files
A downloadable game for Windows
The Barker & Mustard Files
... is a 2D/3D Mystery-Adventure game where you play as a dashingly daring dynamic duo of Dog Detectives by the names of Harvey Barker and Frank Mustard.
Point and click your way through the luxurious Clydesdale Hotel, meet the multitude of suspicious sweeties and dubious degenerates contained within, and solve a wide variety of puzzles on your journey to unravel the mysterious disappearance of the bashful Beaver, Stuart "Flappy" Brown.
It's a tough gig, being a detective. And it's tougher still when nobody gives you the respect you deserve. Harvey and Frank have been pounding the proverbial pavement for years, doing big-time work for small-time pay, only to get credit snatched away by the (sometimes literal) Vultures at the Scarlet City Police Department.
But all of that changed when the case of a lifetime fell right into their laps... along with a couple of trigger-happy, gun-toting thugs. But a little bullet-themed office redecoration courtesy of those two-bit toughs wasn't about to scare Harvey Barker and Frank Mustard off the biggest case (and biggest paycheque) they've ever had...
So grab a good snack, your beverage of choice, and head on down to the Clydesdale Hotel... because it's time to crack this case wide open!

I played this on steam demo and it was sooo good! The art style is unique and instantly charmed me. I knew this was my kind of game after the fifth cup of coffee. The interface is so crisp and clean I love the casebook and telephone. I can already see the worldbuilding and want to experience the world. The dialogue is smart and funny. I know Voice acting is expensive, but man this would take the game to the next level and if you did a patreon or kickstarter for VA I would totally back it. But it's already pretty great. Immediately wishlisted on Steam and followed on itch.io. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😄!! Comments like this really make my day and I really appreciate you checking out the demo and offering your support! Those are some good ideas 👍
