A while back I played the Playdate game Chance’s Lucky Escape, which was pretty good. This game, is set in the same universe and is a Game Boy title (albeit on the Evercade). As the name suggests, it’s a prequel to another game in the series – Inspector Waffles. Which I didn’t know existed and have just discovered it has a cameo from Lord Winklebottom. Blimey.

But never mind those games, what about this game? Well, it’s an adventure game where the eponymous inspector solves his first few (linked) cases. A robbery, some arson, and so on. There’s nothing too difficult to deal with, but I did have to play through the whole game twice as I missed completing the (optional) side quests involving “Maffles”, so if you play this, keep an eye out!

Of course, now I have to buy the “main” game in the series to complete the set.
