I downloaded all the files, uncompressed all ecxept the file "picole.zip" to a FAT partition on an SD Card, foe use in the Q68 in DISP_MODE 1 (512x256 4 colour)
I tried the FLP image located on the FAT partition and mounted the FLP image with FDI, tgen making FDI use FLP.
LRUN flp1_boot, run the game with nice start logo.
I also tried the .WIN file from the Q68 FAT32 partition, the game run okay, I also unzipped the picole_zip file to a QWA container with infounzip. Lrun-ing the boot file the game runs very nicely.
I have all my other QL computers to try out.
I must say a very nice game, with slick graphics.
I'm glad it works on the Q68. I couldn't test it on Q68, as I do not have one ... yet
I hope you will enjoy the game.

Thank you Rich. If you like the game maybe you can add it to your page of free adventure games.
And if the game will receive some good reviews on the forum maybe, just maybe, there will be a longer sequel.

Hi Andrew
Just donwloaded it and tried on my Q68. It works perfectly. Soon I'll try it on other QL platforms, I'm sure all will be alright.
Very nice drawings, the game has a lot of feeling with detective stories. I really like it.
So......great job and send more!
Ciao.

It runs with SuperGoldcard, but crashes with two QLs (issue6, Trumpcard). Both Minerva and JM rom.
This is the error message:

The game very probably wants SuperTookit II loaded - Relatively safe to assume that nearly everybody uses this these days.

Thank you Tobias for your kind and polite reply.
Actually I always include the TK2_EXT command in my BOOT files, so I (incorrectly) assumed it was already included in the game Boot too.
