From a reddit post nobody could solve:
[PC][2000s]Educational(?) Point & Click Game (self.tipofmyjoystick)
submitted 4 days ago by McJobless
Platform(s): Windows, probably XP and/or 98.
Genre: Point & Click
Region: Australia, probably world-wide though
Estimated year of release: Early 2000s
Graphics/art style: Seemed to be fairly detailed and well lit/shaded. It a 2D point and click that I think was taking a lot of cues from Humongous Games.
I remember one of the rooms fairly well, and I drew my best interpretation of its layout
. It was a grocery store/general shop/cheese store. I know that one of the interactable elements was "goat's cheese", because I think the character you play mentions that and says it makes him sick or something else.
1 was the door. #2 is this overhead kind of area with lots of those useless-yet-funny interactions. In the center of the room, #3, there was something; maybe some racks or shelves or boxes or a very long table, and the goats cheese was here. #4 I'm not sure about, but I think this is where the counter for the store was. I may have gotten the perspective slightly wrong too.
Notable characters: There would have been about 2 - 5 people in the main "group". You play as one of them. I think they were mice/rats or some other animal, but I can't be sure. I just know they were humanoid. Main character was probably male.
Notable gameplay mechanics: Can't remember any specific unique mechanics. I think the goal of the game was to prepare a birthday party for one of the characters, and the reason you went to the shop is to get ingredients.
Other details: I don't know how I acquired this game, but it was definitely on a retail CD. It might have been part of a partwork or something else, but I think it was part of a series of games.
In a previous thread I mentioned the room I talked about above and the mice/rat characters. I can confirm that it is not Learning Land. I definitely played Learning Land, but I had mixed these two games up.
EDIT: Should mention that this game, as I recall it, was tailored either towards children or young teenagers.
