Great soundtrack.
Critters for Sale is an unconventional narrative adventure that confidently embraces surrealism, psychological horror, and philosophical storytelling instead of relying on traditional gameplay conventions.
as for the point-and-click aspect, it's pretty straightforward with its controls and puzzles . while there is no inventory, you'll only be carrying one item max so it's not hard to forget what you currently have . the key to getting endings is talking to everyone and clicking on anything interactable, keeping things in mind for later playthroughs . while some endings take pretty long to get to because they're at the end of the chapter where it spreads off into 2 endings, there's a fast forward option so you don't have to wait as long . one major thing to note though: don't try to 100% the episodes immediately, as some puzzles require info from other chapters; if you can't do an ending, start playing something else . i made that mistake and got spoiled for a good chunk of the game lmfao
