Episode 4: Little Dog Dreams
"Theresa Doyle is pretty tired and about to go to bed, unaware that her dreams will be visited by Althea the Nightmare, who plans to send her on a quest to find six Rainbow Keys to create a rainbow bridge across a river of peanut butter so Theresa can find her best friend Andrew and give him his hat back."
Do you like, or at least, are able to tolerate:
- Point-and-click adventure games?
- Simple yet honest 216-color graphics?
- An 800x600 windowed resolution?
- The ability to go full screen with either stretched or un-stretched pixels?
- A single EXE file that's less than 10 MB?
- Lots and lots and lots of reading?
- A unique response for every single possible interaction?
- Tasteful nudity?
LizardCanine girls?
Farnham Fables is a series of short point-and-click adventure games, presented like a TV series, where every single possible interaction will give you a unique response.
UPDATE: July 14th, 2021
Fixed up a few things here and there that had been bugging me,
like a single column of pixels on the right side of Theresa's room being off a bit
for some reason.
UPDATE: May 4th, 2020
Hopefully fixed some hopefully minor issues hopefully.
UPDATE: December 18th, 2019
Fixed a few issues here and there, made an update to the Profile Maker,
and added Eric Luck back to the credits.
Quick Update: December 28th, 2019: Fixed an interaction (Give Boots to Portal).

I don't think you should hold to a promise like that! Even if you had wondrous plans for this series, the content you've made already is substantial enough to stand on it's own, in my opinion.
If you're really hellbent on sharing more of this universe, why not try another medium, even if it was just in actual text only fable form? It would also be very suited for a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure format text game.
Like I said though, what you've done already is more than enough. There's no point in burdening yourself with any promises that aren't doing you any good, you owe nothing to anyone!
What happened to making these for your whole life?
It really feels like some dangerous-only-because-no-one-helps-me people took my saying that as a personal challenge, but I refuse to break my promise even if it means killing myself to satisfy the "my whole life" part, which I really don't want to do, but lately I've been forced into doing a lot of things that I really didn't want to do.
Hey don't do anything you don't want. I was just checking in wondering if you've decided to do other stuff.
That's definitely not a promise you need to keep, to be clear! I saw your update on your website, and I wanted to leave this message to let you know that I'd absolutely consider something of value to be lost, if what's described there were to happen. On Steam you mentioned a couple of other games you wanted to make that I'd love to see, for instance. Gear Gals, especially. It sounded like you even want to work on that game, given you called it 'soul fun'.
What's happened to you over the years... it's clear that it's been awful, and whatever sympathy I can provide as a random internet commentator is obviously not enough. But you do have a community here, however niche and shy, and we would all miss you.
Maybe it's the timing or what you said or how you said it or I don't know I'm tired of writing this, so I'll just say it's your post that made me go "That does it, I'm abandoning my suicide plans and working on Gear Gals now."
Those who hate me can blame you for this.
Oh, well that sounds a lot more positive! I always say someone should work on what makes them engaged and happy, and never out of any obligation.
That being said, platformers can be a many headed beast when it comes to mechanics, so I wish you the best of luck! 😆 As someone said above, you have a little community that will always be happy to see anything you create, whether it's a crumb or a feast. ❤️
Actually, working on Gear Gals IS being done out of obligation, and that obligation is because I said so.
It's FAR more nuanced that this, and as usual I spent WAY too long trying to figure out how I wanted to write this, but GameosynchronousOrbit's message became the final ingredient to, somehow, turn feelings of "I have to kill myself to prove I'm not a terrible person" into "I have to finish Gear Gals to prove I'm not a terrible person."
And there are a number of reasons why it specifically has to be Gear Gals, some of which being "because I said so," "because it's the game I feel the most confident about finishing," and "because of that tarot card reading I had years ago."
When can we get it on steam please?
This one feels like a true adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it! Any specific moments that stood out or you liked best or such?
