During the golden era of Toonville, Fleish the Fox is the star of all the shorts recorded in this black and white cartoon world. His arch-nemesis, Mr Mintz, always tries to ruin his adventures by capturing his girlfriend Cherry, but despite his evil machinations, Fleish continuously manages to get his happy ending with her. But things are going to take an unexpected turn…

Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel is a game set in the 30s, the sunset of the black and white era. The visual elements, the sound and especially the gameplay itself, will make the player feel like being another toon. But before we delve into “Crazy Hotel”, let us check in at the reception to explain the features of the game:

• Hybrid between graphic adventure and action adventure in perfect balance with different environmental puzzles spread in the game’s 5 chapters.
• Single-player adventure in black & white 2D visuals, adopting an isometric view.
• A story with a fun and rich dialogue system, multiple characters and objects with which you'll have to interact to achieve your goals, and use incredible skills typical of cartoons.
• Developed with the Unity engine for PC, Mac and Linux.
• Initially, the game will be available in English and Spanish.

Several elements of known past games have inspired us in the development of “Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel”.

This is the recipe followed by the chefs from “Crazy Hotel”:

Combining the isometric view of Little Big Adventure with the puzzle's style of Zelda .

We mix it with the humor, the dialogue selection system and the type of interaction with characters and objects of graphic adventures like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango.

Those dialogues are presented through a visual touch akin to Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright.

Being a toon is not as easy as people "paint it".

Throughout the story, the player will have to tie up the information obtained on the world, its objects and characters. He must find the right combination of items and abilities to use depending on the situations that arise. You won’t only be transported to this cartoon universe, but you will also have to act and think like a toon in order to progress in the game.

This is what the room service has prepared for your stay in our title:

• Black and white game, with the characteristic style of the animated shorts of the 30's.
• Ingenious environmental puzzles that you'll have to solve using different objects, skills of the cartoons and, above all, thinking like a cartoon.
• A story with a plot that will absorb you from start to finish, filled with surprising and unexpected side stories.
• Plot twist of "The Damsel in distress" to "Dude in Distress".
• Different enemies that you will have to defeat by using your cunning and by solving the puzzles that will appear.
• Even if the action occurs in a hotel, as it’s a cartoon building each one of the floors is a complete different world full of surprises.
• Frame by frame animation of characters, objects, intro and the different cut scenes in the vein of classic animation style.
• The game will be full of details and tributes to the history of animation and to the great artists of the time like Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks, Max Fleischer or Friz Freleng.
• EXTRA! The player can find collectable posters to delve deeper in the game’s universe.

Ready, set... action!! Fleish begins his new short film walking around Toonville when he meets his lovely girlfriend Cherry. The romantic moment is interrupted when the villain Mr. Mintz enters the scene and, on the contrary to what we were accustomed, captures Fleish and takes him to the top of a hotel under construction. This time, it is Cherry’s turn to muster her courage and overcome the craziness awaiting her on the multiple floors of the building and rescue her beloved Fleish. Are you ready to accompany Cherry on her adventure?

Characters

A variety of animated characters with different stories that you will discover throughout the game are waiting in the Hotel Hyperion. Let's meet the main cast:

Cherry. Sweet, fun and positive, this is the way we could define Cherry, the protagonist of the game and the one the player will control. Our regular damsel in distress in all her past adventures with Fleish, will now have to rescue her love from the clutches of the evil Mr Mintz, and discover what is her true role in Toonville’s universe.

Fleish. This attentive and generous fox, always looking for a fun solution to help others, is the main star of the short films directed in Toonville. He will be kidnapped by his enemy Mr. Mintz and his only hope rests upon his love, Cherry.

Mr. Mintz. The villain of the game, and Fleish’s antagonist. His selfish and manipulative nature makes him the evil figure of Toonville. Tired and sick of Fleish’s fame, he decides to capture him to record his own short films in which he will be the only protagonist.

Ninette: She’s Cherry’s best friend and a journalist in the newspaper “Daily Looney”. She is a hard-worker but her impulsive and restless personality has caused her some problems. Her big addiction to work has made her negletct her relationship with Doc Goose. She moves to the Hyperion Hotel to write an article about Fleish and while she is doing research about it, she will discover a hidden mystery in Toonville.

Doc Goose: He was a promising scientist whose career was truncated because of the disastrous effects of his inventions. His extremely clumsiness and forgetfulness have earned him the reputation of “Nutty Scientist” in Toonville. He loves Ninette like in the first day and he protects her with his secret identity from the troubles in which she gets into. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent…and clumsy guardian, a watchful protector…

There is nothing wrong with your monitor... Do not attempt to adjust the picture... Fleish & Cherry comes in full Black & White!

The visual aspect is one of the most important parts of the game, because everything has to be anchored to the 30s and respond to the laws of the cartoon’s world. We have traveled back in time and lived with Mickey Mouse, Oswald, the Looney Toones, Betty Boop and Popeye, among others, to inspire us and to get our own style.

Someone once said that since the advent of sound, music was an additional companion for the cartoons. That’s why the soundtrack of Hankins Studio is the best companion of the Fleish & Cherry adventures.

Alejandro Ribes Hankins and Carlos Vera Tamarit, members of this recording studio specializing in sound design and music production, will be responsible to liven up the party in the hotel. The type of music, from ragtime to Big Band, and the sound effects made in Toonville, will be very reminiscent of that period and every character and level of the game will have its own style. 

If we reach our crowdfunding goal, here is the planned distribution of your backing:

• 21% for the Spanish Tax.
• 29% for the Rewards Production.
• 7% for the Indiegogo fee.
• Another 7% for the Music.
• The 36% is aimed to cover the costs of:
  • Greenlight (100$)
  • Costs of electricity, water and internet for 1 year (1000€)
  • Food.
  • Administrative costs.
  • Buy the Unity license and others...

Making a video game is a complex process, therefore there is a possibility that it will be delayed by glitches, external circumstances or just because we need more time to refine it. Fortunately, behind this project there is a team of qualified people who will devote all the time and effort necessary to make “Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel” a reality that all of you can enjoy as soon as possible.

We have prepared ourselves a lot by studying and analyzing the classics, as one of the biggest challenges that we had to face was to ensure that all the scenes, characters and objects are drawn, animated and defined with the style of the animated shorts of the 30's in the most faithful way possible.

With financial backing to improve our work resources, we would get a better game and shorten the production time. That's why we need your support!
