1. About

Thanks for downloading Duty and Beyond.
This is a freeware 2d adventure game, with a 320x200 resolution, made in AGS (Adventure Game Studio). The game started out as a MAGS game, but it took three months to make rather than one.

2. Story

Follow the adventures of Piet, a local pizza delivery guy, as he embarks on an epic journey to deliver a pizza to a mysterious customer. Will Piet find the mysterious customer? Will Piet walk away with the girl of his dreams?

For extra points, see if you can spot the blue cups. (3 points each.)

3. Controls

Left click : Perform action.
Right click: Cycle through actions.
Mouse wheel: Scroll inventory up or down.
F5: Save Game.

Escape: To skip cutscenes. Also to jump directly to an exit when you interacted with that exit (you don't have to wait for your character to walk the whole distance).

Play area:


Known problems:
- If you enter a new location, and the character does not want to walk, then double click in front of him once or twice, and he should move. If he still does not move, click with the interaction icon on the exit and the character will walk there automatically.
- Spoiler Sometimes when you use the scuba gear with the "path" hotspot underwater, the character will swim out and then jump back into the submarine immediately. Just try it again, and the second time it should work perfectly.
- When someone is following you, sometimes when you go back a screen, the character following you is in the air or on a non-walkable area. (This has no impact on wether the character will continue to follow you.)
