About Screwball

Screwball is a puzzle game with a four-branched story and more than 80 puzzles built around crafting over 500 items. You craft to decipher codes, solve crimes and examine clues, following the story all the way to the Pearly Gates. The tale explores loss, ambition, rage and longing through the question of what it means to be good.

Story and presentation

Inspired by C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, Screwball is voiced by a one-person cast and features comedic sequences. Its artwork is hand-drawn and hand-animated in a style reminiscent of a Sunday morning cartoon strip.

Puzzles and hints

Each puzzle has two hints and an in-game solution, which you can choose to hide. The puzzles are designed to make you think, and crafting items is part of how you work through them.

Sound and writing

The game features an original jazz-based soundtrack and a collection of insults, including “you overweight offshoot of a cheap crime novel from the 80's”.
