About A Good Deed On Harris Avenue

The Premise

At the southern end of Harris Avenue, there is a house. Tasked by a kindly neighbour, you are to deliver a letter to the resident of this house, but the resident won’t accept it. By understanding and trading with the litany of other street-dwellers, try your best to see the request lumped upon you through.

The Place

Drawing design inspiration from a selection of classic games, A Good Deed On Harris Avenue takes place in a single location. Explore and become intimate with this rich, hand-crafted pocket of the world, featuring 11 different houses, each boasting unique, explorable interiors created with a high level of care and intent.

The Point

This game was created to serve two desires: deliver an interesting and innovative puzzle experience, and to say something of note. A Good Deed On Harris Avenue accomplishes both of these goals in a single motion. Play it to find out how.
