a good job with this one, Increpare. I think you and Terry Cavanagh are some of the few people who really *get* the impact game mechanics can have on story, and how to combine the two.
and so the continuing saga of judith unfolds.
Hi, we want more girls ;-)
Review for italians people on my blog:

Bye from Italy.
Idealsoft.
I’m stuck on the third puzzle! I’m down to the last shoe, but when I swap the pieces into place, they just switch back and I lose points. Is this a bug or an intentional and dark message?
it’s neither, or maybe the former. Erm; basically: there’re a couple of ‘goals’ to each level. you have to complete them in order, and one at a time, if you try to put the last piece of clothing into place (a certain ‘goal’) that would simultaneously put everything in order (another ‘goal’) it won’t let you. I didn’t make this as clear as maybe I should (or maybe I should have scratched the idea).
aww :'( I like the game though
Excellent. Really thoughtful and yet also a very please game mechanic. Probably the best example to show anyone when arguing against the mindlessness of games.
Windows link is broken.
having some server problems at the moment; everything should be back up by tomorrow
edit: should be back up now :)
I just played this game, and when I exited the program my mouse pointer changed. Now it looks like this odd tall row of lines. I went into my mouse settings to reset what my pointer looked like, and that only made my pointer disappear completely, only to come back a while later as a different row of lines. I have no clue what is going on here.
That is very strange. You tried restarting? Doesn’t sound like a problem that I can take responsibility for.
Love this game :)
Hey, it might be way too late for this comment to be read ever, but the mac version doesn’t seem to work for me. It immediately crashes every time. This has actually happened for more than one of your games for me, but I can’t remember what the other ones were. I have OS X 10.7.5 if that helps.
It’s not a big deal, I’ll just run the Windows version in Wine. Just thought I would mention it. Also, I am a fan! Judith and English Country Tune are two of my favourite games of all time, and I genuinely enjoy every single game of yours I’ve played. Keep it up. =]
almost none of my old games work on newer versions of osx (I used to use the allergo graphics library, which uses some api calls that have been removed from recent versions of OSX).
The game doesn’t work on either of my computers. It crashes on my AMD only rig instantly and on my Intel/nvidia laptop the screen freezes after 3 seconds or so after entering the menu the sound works but the game does not.
M3NACE, sorry to hear that. It was made with quite an old game engine, and it doesn’t work on the more recent OSX versions, for instance. If you could let me know what operating system you use, that would be useful.
I am running windows 7 on both of them, my desktop is an AMD A10 5800 with a AMD 7750 1 GB gpu and 8 GB of ram, my laptop is an Intel core i5 with a nvidia 550m and 8 gb of ram.
Ok, thanks for letting me know. I’m unlikely to fix it any time soon (though if someone else wants to try recompiling+fixing it, be my guest…) – I don’t have a windows box right now.
Does not work for my windows 8 machine.
Hi, thanks for the bug report. Could you elaborate what you means it doesn’t work? Does it display any error messages? Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?
One interesting thing I noticed is that only two parts of her body aren’t symmetrical: her face, and her vulva. The vulva is more notable because it’s the clothing covering it is always symmetrical, making assembling it a particular challenge on the final level. I guess that must have been intentional, as the vulva’s design in unusual, being a full circle on one half rather than the typical cleft of venus. The design forces you to pay attention to it in the last level, giving a very guilty voyeuristic feel, and you just can’t cover her fast enough. Also all those bruises, they also lack symmetry and you’re forced to consider them.

[…] ATTENZIONE: IN QUESTO GIOCO VEDRETE DELLE RAGAZZE NUDE FATTE DI PIXEL ! Quindi a letto i bambini che questo gioco scotta ! Scherzi a parte, le donnine nude ci sono davvero anche se con quello che gira su internet o anche solo in TV non penso proprio sia il caso di nascondere questo giochino ai minorenni, anche perché sembrano disegnate con la grafica del Commodore 64 ;-). In effetti potrebbero far arrapare giusto il PAC-MAN o il Mario dopo aver bevuto… Ma quello che colpisce in Striptease è il gameplay piuttosto originale. Niente di sconvolgente, intendiamoci, però l’utilizzo della componente puzzle in un contesto tipo tetris diverte non poco. In pratica vedremo sulla destra la donnina vestita mentre sulla sinistra ci sarà la stessa scomposta in decine di pezzi tipo puzzle. Il gioco ci indicherà le zone da ricomporre e noi lo potremo fare utilizzando un cursore a due caselle dentro il quale i pezzi potranno scorrere. Ogni volta che riusciremo a posizionare correttamente i pezzi dall’altro lato dello schermo la ragazza lascerà cadere una parte del suo già misero costumino… Peccato che i livelli siano soltanto tre e lo dico con la voce del Mario dopo essersi sbronzato. Un gioco di Stephen Lavelle (Increpare games). Disponibile per Windows e MAC OS 10.5 + (Intel). Sito ufficiale […]
