The Twitcher ~ Book One: The Case of Doctor Cuckoo
When Mr Falconer uses his birdwatching skills to help solve a missing persons case, he becomes a local celebrity - known as The Twitcher - much to his annoyance.
Playing as The Twitcher, you must manage your autism so that you neither become too mentally strained nor too socially rejected. Either outcome will cause you to fail in your efforts to uncover the dark conspiracy going on behind these missing persons cases.
Made for Game Jam 99: Birds, with the requirement of 'Can't Stop Moving'.
The Twitcher can't stop moving his arms in a flapping motion when he becomes distressed. This is known as "stimming" in the world of autism. There are many different types of stimming. They all serve to release mental stress, but they may lead to you being percieved as weird...
Will you be your authentic self, and risk social isolation? Or will you engage in masking your autism, and risk mental burnout? Either way, you'd better get moving to solve The Case of Doctor Cuckoo.
