In both cases we’re just watching them for a bit so their real names are up to the people who are adopting them. We’re referring to current kitty as “Little Fig” since her coloration is similar to my cat Figaro 🙂

How it started: playing Roottrees with the help of some foster kittens How it’s going: making my own Roottrees-inspired game with the help of a different foster kitten Can’t complain!

Thanks for the wonderful and very kind review of our game! The team is hard at work on the expanded Steam version, and we’re doing our best to make something awesome to repay the love we’ve gotten on the jam version!

Congrats to you two! Such an exciting moment! And I have a hunch the answer is yes. 🙂

Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
2 lets you focus more on the story and family tree deduction if that’s your interest. 1 is the experience we hope many will enjoy of actually learning the words. I think that moment of testing yourself is important - so a mouseover makes it a little too easy. But TBD with more playtesting!
030
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
After playing with some ideas, we’re thinking of two options: 1. Default is no hints - if you see a word, you have the chance to test yourself if you remember it, and if not, look over at your lexicon notes to check 2. Replacing the words in the text itself with your translations

I’m really grateful people have enjoyed the #LudumDare jam version (which will always remain free to play here - jamwitch.itch.io/trevosa) and that’s given us this opportunity to make a larger version. We’re doing our best to make something awesome for you all!

I want to share more about what to look forward to in The Archives of Trevosa, our language-translating family-tree deduction game set in a mysterious kingdom, but I’ve been too busy making it! Here’s a preview of the lexicon, where you can (optionally) take notes on the words you’re learning.

Thanks! We ended up totally reworking the stories of the three families we have in the jam version and adding two more families, so I hope it’ll be well worth itch players’ time to check out!

My favorite thing about Clues by Sam is the wacky storylines!
021
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Yeah, thanks for sharing! I really enjoy that the tags are flexible enough for everyone to invent their own system that works for them.
010
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Yeah, a downside of my approach is there’s no space left if I end up needing to run a hypothetical like you’re describing. But I find it more fun to deduce things with these tag patterns, whereas stepping through the hypotheticals feels more tedious to me, so that’s why I landed on all this.
110
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Oops, I miswrote this step. Sorry about that! Ivan needs 3 criminals and that's the pair + the green tags + Jason, so that's why Danny must be innocent.

Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Replaying! That’s why I tapped each clue as I was solving it, to make it easier to follow hopefully. My actual time today using this approach was 1:53.

Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
If followed all that, thanks for reading! Let me know what your tagging system is. You can try to convince me your way is better, but good luck. 😁 And for anyone seeing this who doesn't play Clues by Sam, fix that immediately! cluesbysam.com

Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
So that's the system! Sets of blue and magenta combined with all-but-one tagging turns complex multi-clue deductions into simple applications of patterns. I have huge respect for people who can keep everything in their heads and just work it out that way - but I can't, and this way is satisfying!
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
19. Klay says there are 2 criminals below Amy, who are already accounted for, so Logan must be innocent. 20. Tada! 🥳 Since Logan was tagged blue, now we know blue is innocent and magenta is criminal, and we can solve Amy, Emily, and Nick.
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
17. Raul says there's an odd number of innocents neighboring Danny. He already has 2 (Hal and the pair) so Ivan must be the 3rd. 18. Klay is in a pair with Danny so must be a criminal.
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
15. From Zara's clue, we know Raul must be the 1 criminal shared between Nick and Wanda. 16. That gives Nick the 3 criminal neighbors total described by Zara, so Tina must be innocent.
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
14. Hal tells us row 2, which has two criminals, has more criminals than row 5, which can only have one so Zara must be innocent.
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
13. 🎉 We can resolve the bottom corner green tags now that we know it has a pair in it. The pair must include the odd criminal out, so everyone that's not part of the pair is innocent. This is where it's good we used green for "all but one innocent". It makes it intuitive to mark Hal as innocent.
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
12. Uma says there are two innocents to the left of Frank, so the remaining innocent is either Amy or Emily, making them a pair. Emily is already blue, so we tag Amy magenta. This means... 🥁
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
11. Wanda's clue is really straightforward thanks to our existing tags. Ivan needs 3 criminal neighbors and has 1 from the pair on the right, 1 from the green tags on the left, so the last criminal must be Danny.
200
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
10. Maria's clue tells us either Ivan or Klay is innocent, so tag them with yellow as a pair.
100
Celia @celia-14.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
9. Continuing on with Olive's clue, now that we know Uma is a criminal, we can resolve the top corner green tags. 🎉 Having discovered the single odd one out, the remaining people with that tag are all the color of the tag, that is, Maria and Wanda are innocent.
