Story:
Jethro is fed up. He doesn't want to interview more D-celebrities for this smear sheet, for which he is hired as a writer. He's after a big story again. Then he hears of mysterious murders of young women plaguing Chillcottin City. It's high time he reunited with his old pal, Aoko, to stir up the underworld of Chillcottins and the tech company that runs the place.

The world:
Chillcottin City is located where New England and the majestic Sequoia forests meet the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains and the Bayous. The city is ruled almost dictatorially by a tech mogul, Robert E. Ternel, who even has ambitions to be crowned the new mayor.
Robert E. Ternel's corporation dominates the entire urban economy with its cybernetic and genetic engineering products. The nebulous religious fanatic Mr. Person Man is also said to be in cahoots with him.

Characters:
Jethro Adimari, 33, is a passionate journalist and a failure. His wife Michelle loves him, although he is self-pitying and generally not the brightest. His wife doesn't like the fact that he spends so much time with Aoko when he's feeling adventurous again.

Aoko Kitamoto, 27, is an unemployed justice fighter waiting to use violence against the good-for-nothing again. She loves video games, pop culture, being out of work, and violence.

And many more quirky Chillcottin originals!

Features:
* Approximately 4 hours of hard-hitting puzzle action with challenging battles!

Personal asides:
"When you look into the nostalgia long enough, the nostalgia will look back at you!" Team JethKo - Knee Deep is a detective adventure with role-playing elements and turn-based combat.

What started as a small project turned into a huge thing that took almost a year of work. In this game I put ideas into action that have accompanied me since my teenage years and have now become reality.
Graphics (apart from facesets and backgrounds), music and story come from me again.
In this concoction, I celebrate the cartoons and the music of the 90s and Americana. I also wanted to promote the Artbreeder website with the backgrounds and facesets. The focus of this thing is on humor and very far-fetched mysteries. I hope you enjoy the game.

This game takes it's inspirations from Sam & Max, The Tick, Duckman, Hotline Miami 2, grunge, funk metal, nu metal, rave, hip hop, and jungle.

Here is a walkthrough for when you get stuck. (;



After the intro we can take the camera & call Aoko (USE SMARTPHONE). Go outside & use the Isetta to go to Lil' Incheon (USE ISETTA). We go to Aoko's house & talk to her. She joins our group.

Chapter 1

The intro proper follows. We next go to Down Town to Pervert Park & use our finger to distract the gardener & stealthily steal the hedge trimmer. We enter the park & kill a couple of perverts to farm $50. With that we go back to Lil' Incheon to the nightclub & approach the square. We give him the $50 & buy ourselves an LSD trip. At the club we take the trip right away & enjoy the show. Now we have an empty blotter, go to "Friendship" with it, enter the farm, search the room & pick up the ectoplasm with the blotter. We go back to the mountains & trim the bush with the bush trimmer. We take the empty syringe. Our path next takes us to Westpoint where we enter the occupied house. We talk to the students & get a lighter. Now we go right back to Down Town to the museum & talk to the guy there. We ask him about what he chews on. We get well chewed rubber. Off to Coronado's Post in the trailer park where we talk to a most inconspicuous woman. She gives us sulfuric hair wax. We have everything together to make a rubber impression of the shoe print at Friendship on the meadow (those who have been paying attention in chemistry have a clear advantage). Next we go to Lil' Incheon in Aoko's apartment & take photos of her feet in the privacy of her own four walls, which we give to the perverted geek in the Hacker District, who now clears the way into the Hacker District. First, though, we have to get into Team Jethko's headquarters to check out the evidence. Yes, we have to go to the Hacker District. So back to Lil' Incheon in the Hacker District. We fight with the cyberpunks & dataghuls or avoid them & at the end of this level we meet the first boss: NoClip Norman! We kill him.

Chapter 2

Our way leads us to the Van Buren Highway, where we take a closer look at the next victim. We take a picture of her & took something shiny on us (a piece of a meat hook). Then we get in our car & drive to Midway go to the mall & the shovel emporium. We chat up the show pope until he gives us the shovel. Happy about so much generosity we drive to Masson Rouge & go to the Voodoo Temple. We approach the priestess & ask her about her wares. Instead of a store, cannibal maggots await us & we take them. Armed with shovel & maggots we go into the bayous & move north of the first big lake: the maggots start vibrating. Here we dig up the next victim. We take a picture of her. We head to the next neighborhood: Decatur. Go to the good neighborhood & approach the conspiracy guy who forces his pamphlet on us: nanu, that's just a massive amount of toilet paper. We drive to Lake Ponca & throw the toilet paper in. We drive back to Westpoint, enter the squat & speak to the students again. They give us the red book. With it we drive to the docks & go to the dockside bar. We give the red book to the angry sailors who, animated by words in the book, declare a revolution. Of course, the newly "elected" mayor Robert E. Ternel can't take this lying down, so he finally leaves his office. So we drive to Up Town, go to Ternel Tower & enter Robert E. Ternel's office. The piece of the mask is finally ours! We head back to our headquarters, analyze our evidence & get a code. Off to Midway to the entrance of the sewers. We enter the code & find ourselves in the underworld. We either kill the Bocore down here & get out of their way. We fight our way until we can go further down (southwest of the map). If we now approach Grimace, the next boss fight awaits us. Hopefully we kill Grimace as well.

Chapter 3

First we go to Westpoint, go to the occupied building & talk to the rebels. For safety, they give us smelling salts. With that, we drive all the way north to Chippeway Forest. We make our way through the forest & enter the hunting lodge. We wake the scout with our smelling salts. His joy knows no bounds & he gives us a crowbar. With the crowbar we can go uptown & finally open the door of Jethro's house. A nasty surprise awaits us! Jethro leaves shocked our group & gives us another chakram. Aoko is on her own from now on. With the chakram we go to Down Town & enter the police station. We show the police the chakram & are arrested.

In the cell we collect the turd, the skull of the rat & the thin bone. In our inventory we combine everything. Tada! We have a skeleton key (heh). We open the cell door. In the hallway, we best avoid the security guards. We go through a hallway & arrive at the last hallway. The door won't open. You can only leave this room by pressing ESCAPE on your keyboard. (Hilarious!). You are standing in front of the prison.

Go further to the east. Watch out for the moon faces. Learn their movement pattern to avoid them. We climb the observatory & address Moonlogic, the third boss. We kill this one as well.

Chapter 4

In a cutscene, Jethro rejoins our group. We head straight to the wasteland in the far southwest. We kill Mandelbrot. Go to the secret lab go all the way north & take a closer look at the ectoplasm pool. Break Robert's legs! Now it comes to the showdown with Robert E. Ternel. This is a tough one! We enjoy the credits & congratulations: you made it. Not without help (shame on you!), but still.



Of course, I've kept some secrets from you. (:

The 'upload file' category seems to doesn't function?

As an alternative:

I use the itch.io link because it is easier for me to have an overview of the total downloads & to upgrade my game if necessary. (:

I checked your itch page, and the download size there lists the file at 454 MB. The site's server will only accept downloads less than, or equal to, 450 MB...

https://rpgmaker.net/submission_rules/
Games greater than 450MB cannot be accepted.

...but, you can still add a download through Manage Games to refer to your itch page. When adding a new download, use the "URL" box and point it to... maybe this link?
@Marrend:
Done. (:
The URL was added. :)

Cool. Yay will play later this afternoon.

EDIT: I am already on the second chapter/case but I found an error: if you visit the countryside again (where hopefully there is no need to go) there is no way to USE the car to leave (Jethro will comment "just no")
Well, F***! (:

Hopefully you had an older save state?

(That's the advantage of fix places to save.) (;

Yeah yeah, of course! Anyway all good, finished! Review sent!
For the German players:
Na, Leute,
alles crémig?
Hier ist sie endlich, die deütsche Version von Team JethKo - Knee Deep!! \\\O///
Ich habe mir einige künstlerische Freiheiten erlaubt &
es eher wie eine deutsche Synchro der 70er & 80er Jahre aufgezogen.
D.h. es wird viel Sche*ße erzählt werden
& es wird der ein oder andere markige Spruch kommen. [:
Mit dem Link im Originalpost kommt ihr zum Download. ************:
(Die englische Version ist natürlich weiterhin verfügbar!)



Viel Spaß!!
