About this game

Someone's at the door.

Featuring a four-branched story and over 80 puzzles derived from crafting more than 500 items, in Screwball you will craft items to decipher codes, solve crimes, and ponder clues all the way to the Pearly Gates!

Voiced by a one-man cast, Screwball was inspired by a classic work of literature, “The Screwtape Letters” by C.S. Lewis. Screwball is a powerful tale of loss, ambition, rage, and longing, striking at the heart of a fundamental question of mankind: What does it mean to be good?

Screwball features:

  • Two hints for every single puzzle and the solution. You'll never have to Google how to solve a puzzle, because every solution is available in-game (along with the ability to turn off the display of the solutions, if you want)

  • Some of the greatest insults mankind has devised to date (i.e., "you overweight offshoot of a cheap crime novel from the 80's")

  • A jazz-based original soundtrack

  • Puzzles you'll actually have to think about

  • Hand-animated artwork reminiscent of a Sunday morning cartoon strip

And more!

Bursting at the seams with comedic sequences, hilariously written by an award-winning author, entirely hand-drawn and animated (without any AI whatsoever), this is your opportunity to answer the door of your own accord.

Because even if you don’t, the door will be answered for you.
