Marv's Open Mic

FULLSCREEN IS REQUIRED! Press the button to the bottom right of the web player.

In Marv's Open Mic, you're so nervous you've forgotten the song lyrics you wrote! But there's no turning back from this brutal crowd ... You'll need to look around the room and make some connections between possible objects in the room and things you could sing about.

If you're stuck, check the bottom of the description for some hints!

Marv's Open Mic was created in June 2022 for the Lost Relic Games Jam, based on the theme of Connections. For Greg and Popuri it was their first ever games jam! The game was even featured in the jam's Top Picks! Thanks John, all the judges, and everyone who voted!

Stuck finding objects? Here's the spoilerific walkthrough:

There are five objects you'll need to click for the first five stanzas, in any order (the lyrics will depend upon the order you click the objects!)

The objects are, from left to right: the picture (second from the left), blue coat, flowers on the table, Blue Eye poster on the coffee counter, and the coffee machine behind the counter.

There are two final objects you'll need to click in any order in order to finish the song: the curtains at the back of the room, and the clock on the right wall.

If you spend too much tme waiting before starting the song and/or stumble through your lines, the crowd will turn on you. Marv's clientele are the most brutal of coffee drinkers; a cappuccino and targeted bullying is their idea of a chill sunday. But if you can get through the song without making too many mistakes, these spicy customers might just give you a clap or two.
