Made for the Bitsy Jam #76 by ledoux

The theme was "Lost Media", it was a theme I suggested so I felt like I had to do it :D

I was inspired by Caper in the Catro, one of the first queer games made in 1989, you play a butch detective searching for a missing drag queen. It used to be a lost media but was found after a collective effort. It can be played here.
So I went in a detective route but wanted to get away from the crime aspect since it could be too close to reality for some.

In "And they were roommates ?" you will play an archaeologist who just found a tomb, but something is off, there are two people in the tomb and they are both men ??
Carry out your own investigation to write down in history whether they were just tombmates or maybe more ?

The story is about Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, as a continuation of the initiative of creating a collection of quer and ancient stories, started with The Passion of the Cut Sleeve.

I didn't manage in the timeframe to do it exactly as I wished due to some issues, but worked around them so it should be fine.

Loved your work! The topic was really interesting and I’ll be sure to check out your other games :)

woooow the magnifying glass part was super cool! I also love when games like this push you to check out other works/media!

Thank you for the comment ! I will check your game and everyone's game once I get the time.

the magnifying glass scene was really cool, and i like that you're given a choice at the end, even after all of the clues you found in the tomb that should indicate an obvious answer, it's a p accurate portrayal of how things like this work in real life

Yea right from the start I knew that I wanted to give a choice at the end. And also you don't have to gather all the clues to get to the end. So people can really put their perspectives on the mural like archaelogist back then did if they want to. 

Really well done. Loved the angle as an archaeologist!

i love how elaborate the game is!

Thank you :)
