Game Description
Three Monkeys and a Puzzling Curse is a charming puzzle game where you must solve the mysteries of three cursed monkeys before your sanity is consumed. Speak to them, decipher their clues (and lies!), and unlock the best ending.
How does your game tie into the theme?
This game is about solving the puzzles before all of your sanity is consumed. There are also sanity particles in the air throughout the game (Twinkle Star), all NPCs are cursed, confused and provide a few misleading clues (Unreliable Narrator), and all visual assets were made by myself specifically for this game jam (Analog).

Its a really cool idea and i like the artstyle. It kept me engaged for a long time but i couldnt figure out the middle room. The right room I brute forced by luck. I need a tip because i think i am missing something :D. Are all the monkey clues misleading?
The left room was easy so at least that one i solved intentionally :D
Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it! I didn't include this tip anywhere but since you asked, each monkey gives 3 clues: 1 is directly relevant to the puzzle it asks you to solve, 1 is relevant for one of the other monkey's puzzles, and 1 is entirely misleading
Really nice puzzle game. Took me a while to figure out what informations are needed for which puzzle but got it eventually. The graphics and sound are also neat. Great work!
Thank you!
This is a neat little puzzle game! I like how you have to talk to all the monkeys in order to get the bigger picture for how to solve each puzzle. The middle puzzle is still a bit confusing even with the clues (and to be honest, I just started brute forcing different possible combinations until I got the right one), and I wish there was an actual puzzle to picking the right key chest at the end rather than just having to guess.
Other than those minor nitpicks, I think you did a nice job with this game!
Thank you! Each monkey gives 3 clues: 1 is directly relevant to the puzzle it asks you to solve, 1 is relevant for one of the other monkey's puzzles, and 1 is entirely misleading. I think the middle one was confusing for a lot of people so I'll probably tweak it, and will certainly add some challenge to the chest room. Much appreciated!
This game was pretty fun and I had a pretty tough time with the puzzles trying to wrap my head around them!
Thank you!
A fun little puzzle game. The art is charming. I'm still not really sure on the clues for the middle puzzle, though.

A cute little puzzle game. Took me a minute to figure out the middle room puzzle, and I still don't 100% get the clues for that one. And the ending puzzle (with the keys) didn't feel like much of a puzzle tbh. But I replayed the game after getting a bad ending and it was surprisingly fun to speedrun lol. For your first game this is pretty dang good man, keep it up.
Thank you! One clue from each monkey is for another monkey's puzzle, that might make things clearer. Great point about the keys I definitely could have made that challenging.
Got all three endings, pretty good puzzle game! I only had trouble with the puzzle on the first room, but I tried for a bit and managed to complete it.

Thank you! There is a 4th ending if you run out of sanity ;)
Wow great job with the puzzles. The overall atmosphere is great, and all the dialogue and puzzles very well thought out. Great job!
Thank you!
Unique idea for a puzzle game. I particularly liked the audio. I am not nearly smart enough to solve some of these though lol
Thank you!
