The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak - Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
Miroslav Slazak - a Polish immigrant who fled to Britain shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. His only possessions were the clothes on his back, his passport and a large antique ship’s chest. It was chained shut.
14th December, 1997 - Six people gather for a meal at the request of Miroslav, but Miroslav doesn't arrive. Among them is a young Borys Garozniak, Miroslav's only grandson, who leads a search for the missing antique dealer. What follows is taught horror mystery, in which Borys must come to terms with the changing picture of the man he thought he knew, whilst navigating a twisting labyrinth and fighting for his life against threats both seen and unseen.
The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak is a Lovecraftian, story-rich horror point-and-click mystery created in classic retro 320 x 200 pixel art. You play as Borys Garoziniak as he searches the bizarre interior of his grandfather's home, solving inventory puzzles and navigating increasingly strained relationships with his companions, with his interactions and actions influencing the storyline and leading to multiple endings.

I immediately wishlisted this game and I really hope it gets a full release. I love this. I love how much attention you pay to the different characters and their backstories, I am already invested in the family drama. Loved the puzzles and your visuals are great, I love that it all feels very hand-made (in a good way), like a classic Point & Click.
One small thing: I wish the character would stand a little to the said when you walk to an item, so you can still interact with it. As it was, I always had to move Borys to the side because he was blocking all item actions.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks splendid! I like how you've honed the graphical style you started on Abscission. And I think I spy a familiar little symbol there in the screenshots...
Neat surprise to see! Checking it out now!
