Who Stole My Beard?

Fun game with great artwork and bubbly music to accompany you on the journey. I haven't finished the game yet but you can tell this game was created for the right reasons and it shows. If you enjoy simple RPG's, light humor, beards, and dogs....then you'll enjoy this game!

I'd like to tell a little story. It has been a dream of mine to create or help create video games. Gaming holds some of my fondest memories, but there are other ambitions I want to pursue, plus I struggle to understand programming. However, one day, on a whim, I posted to Reddit asking if anyone in the RPGmaker community wanted help writing dialog for their game. I know how to write, I thought it might be a fun side project. I was contacted by someone for an in-progress indie game that had been delayed- a game called "Who Stole My Beard?" The developer of this game is so hardworking and committed. He was very flexible and gracious with me when I had to put writing on hold for college. The lines I have written are currently in the game (it's not very much, just some npc greeting lines and other miscellaneous stuff) and I couldn't be more excited. From what I have seen, the product Cleardot has released possesses a charm that far exceeds any technical limitation. The whimsy of the world and the silly (but surprisingly engaging) premise brings a smile to my face. The fact that I could lend any creative skill to these characters has, in no small way, made a dream of mine come true. It is with my whole heart that I recommend WSMB to anyone considering it.

I have been playing this game for the last 2 days and just completed it, plus all the side quests and every achievement. The Good ---------- Overall - It is a very charming game. Lots to do, good amount of play time for the money and lots of variety in terms of mini games, quests and areas to discover. Also it is pretty funny in places (I laughed a few times), has many unique characters and lots of little cute pop culture references and quirky aspects - like the changing pictures each day based on time travel movies and passing references to TV shows like The Wire Main Story - The main story took me about 4-5 hours to complete, and the game kind of guides you through it so it is not extremely difficult. I liked this aspect because otherwise I might get lost walking around all the time, There is also a full walkthrough guide posted in the community for the game page for if you get stuck. I did not use it for the main story but I did for 2-3 of the side quests. The story evolves in quite a fun an unexpected direction involving time travel, espionage and quantum physics. Side Quests - The side quests are varied and there are about 30 of them. You have to do about half to complete the game, some are easy some are hard. All are different and match the characters personality who gives them to you. Battles - The battle system is more like a puzzle mode on a small grid where you use weapons is certain order to kill enemies. At first I was unsure but after doing 1-2 of them and getting used to it I did really enjoy them. Graphics - Reminds me of SNES type retro but with a lot of detail, definitely very cohesive and adds to the atmosphere and ambience. Sound - One of my favorite things, the sound really good. Fits the game and has lots of variety and ambience. The Bad --------- Overall - overall there is not too much bad to say, I really liked this game. It is not an action game but it has all the elements you would expect of a casual RPG, and done well. If anything bad could be said overall it is just to improve the little aspects listed below to give an overall polish to the whole game. Main Story - The main story is quite linear, it could perhaps have 2 endings, but then that would be a different game. Side Quests - Some side quests are not clear what to do and I had to turn to the guide for 2-3 of them in order to complete every one. I didn't personally mind this, but some might find it too hard and perhaps there could be a couple more clues for the harder side quests from the dog sidekick or in from other NPCs. I emailed the developer about this and a couple of small bugs, and he said he is going to make some of the side quests clearer and improve the continuity, so by the time you read this it might be a non-issue. He also fixed the small bugs very quickly and pushed a patch within 1 day, so that was encouraging. Battles - A couple of them were quite hard. Again, I turned to the guide. A couple were also insanely easy. I guess it is good to have a variety of levels but 2 of them were REALLY hard, at least for me. The guide gave me the answer I needed to get past them though. Graphics - A couple of the animation are a little hokey, but aside from that I have no qualms with the art. Sound - Nothing bad to say. Summary ---------- I loved this game, if you like games like Stardew Valley and story RPGs with comedy this is one of the best you will find.

This game has been so much fun. Very reminiscent of classic RPG's that we all grew up with. I love the mystery, all the puzzles and police adventures, the story line was great and cute music soundtracks. The developer has even put it on sale, you really cannot go wrong with this purchase. Also check out the NFT's available. One of a kind :)

Its a good RPG game where you need to find who stole your beard and at same time you gonna need to do some side quests. The game offers some good mini games and some good comedy. There is battles that are like puzzles but now with the recent patch you can skip the battles which is a good thing. They need to add is a skip time.

The storyline has been great so far. It's very engaging with a funny premise, not to mention the best part of this game... it has various modes of problem solving puzzles which keeps me immersed into the game for longer then I expect. If you are a fellow gamer that likes to problem solve and various solve puzzles, this game does not fail to execute! The game is pretty intuitive to play too! great game design!

A fun, and fairly short little game about solving a mystery. The greatest crime that could ever be perpetrated upon anyone... Beard Theft. Got through it mostly fine, although, I did have to look up 1 or two things on how to get past whichever part. Their was one in particular, where afterwards I'm going "that makes perfect sense... I never would have thought of it... not even in a fleeting crossing my mind kinda way"

Funny game with loads of bugs (and the last update even broke quests): I have accidentally skipped a large chunk of main questline ([spoiler]Jumped from "get into Natalie's house" to "talk to the professor"[/spoiler]) just by talking to people in the Town Hall. Also, you can't get a number of beards(Chin Strip, Extended Goatee, Soul Patch, Van ♥♥♥♥, Circle) legally, which breaks a number of quests. Will still recommend, hoping that the devs will fix the game eventually.

I love how this game combines nostalgia and quirkiness into a hilarious, sweet story. The dialogue options are absolutely hilarious, and the mini games are easy to understand but also the perfect challenge!

Been playing this game nonstop for over an hour now and it is fantastic! The funny dialogue, witty humor, amazing music and artwork are such joys to experience and the unique story is very gripping! I took a short break to help spread the word on it but cannot wait to jump back in and continue the story. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who likes a little mystery and comedy wrapped in one package!
