The death of Fo-gu
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Poor Lask. Everyone laughs at him because of his silly theories on the nature of the gods. He thinks fire is just extremely hot air, can you imagine?
But when the Fire Priest forces him to ask the goddess of fire for forgiveness, things take an unexpected turn for the whole village.
This is a short adventure game made for the $108 Adventure Game Challenge (8-22 September 2021) whose theme was: The Dunning-Kruger Effect. The protagonist must be the smartest person in the game, but everyone including themselves believes they are the dumbest person.

Amazing how much you're able to accomplish in just two weeks!
Amazing! I enjoyed it so much :)
Keep up with the goof work!
Thanks for another great game! You have a knack for making fun and unexpected puzzles, and of course your sense of humour haven't failed yet. Very impressive!

I thought this was great when I tested the early version, but the addition of the awesome music and a bit of polish really seals the deal. Loved the ending too. Awesome job, Guga!
Guga, you're the master of humor! The Death of Fo-Gu literally blew my mind! I was raining tears from laughter the entire time, and every joke struck like thunder, leaving me electrified with joy! Lmao!
I had a lot of fun playing your game and I love the atmosphere and music!
Super fun! The lore puzzle was a bit frustrating (I'm not fluent in Sardinian), but everything else was fantastic, logical, challenging and very polished. I didn't expect any less from the creator of Flabbington ;)
Don't worry, nobody is 🤣 it's just an Easter Egg for the few Sardinian friends who'll play the game - although a Portuguese tester was amused that "Fogu" sounded like "fire" in Portuguese 😁 thanks!
Is the god of wine and parties Mir-to?
Mir-tu and his brother Filu-e-fer-ru of course
A gem of a game, as per usual from Guga! I loved to explore and learn about the fantasy setting. Very clever puzzle design with some fantastic effects that I don't want to spoil, you need to see for yourself. Brilliant ending. Must be played.
Thanks! I think this is my game with the heaviest lore so far :P
It could become a starting point for a Gugaverse!
Very polished and fun game, thanks! :)
Thanks for playing it :)
entertaining puzzles, interesting plot and a good ending.
Good job as usual Guga
Thanks! I wasn't entirely sure about the ending until the last day before submitting, but I think it works well.
My perception of storms will never be the same again xD
Some people say it's just electricity but I don't believe them!
