A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

In the hedonistic capital of His Majesty's Realm a faceless king commissions a local sculptor, Melon Head, our protagonist whose head is shaped like a melon, to craft an extension to His royal staff.

An extraordinary vision reveals an object of rare composition: A Crystal Iris Distillate. Pursuing the parts needed to craft the object essential in fulfilling the royal request, Melon Head precipitates to a strange adventure across His Majesty's Realm. He must use cunning, questionable morals and sharpness of intellect to succeed in his task and, ultimately, to choose between allegiance to his perceived benefactor and the rising forces of dissidence seeking to overthrow the balance of power.

Melon Head is a fantastical point and click adventure set in a delirious imaginary world.

Features:

-Strange characters of undefined species.
-Puzzles to intrigue the mind.
-A built in hint system if you get stuck.
-Interacting, examining and using items.
-Exploration of different areas of His Majesty's Realm.
-Three endings depending on choices.
-Colorful and highly saturated pixel art on a 16-color palette.
-Psychedelic visions.
-An out there jazzy original soundtrack.

Keep your mind ablaze.

Wait… on your main page with the list of games this has a price on it, but when I come to this page there’s no way to buy or preorder… is my browser just being weird?

Thank you!

It's not your browser, don't worry. :) The game is currently in development and so it can't be bought yet.

I would have actually liked to hide the price for the time being, but I couldn't do it without marking the game as free, which in turn would've been misleading imo.

As for the pre-order, I think I will make it available as the development progresses.

Ah ok that makes total sense — thank you for the reply! I just didn’t want to be missing out on something which looked so entirely relevant to my interests. I’ll keep a keen eye on this page :)
