Warning: you can't mute the sound in-game and it opens in a new tabless window so you don't even get a "Mute tab" option from the browser.

At least with Firefox I can copy the address off the tabless window, and then paste it into a "normal" tab that can be muted.

This was so delightful. Eventually got all by process of elimination. The only one I still don't understand was "My cousin looms large in church." Rot13: Fgnvarq tynff vf gur pbhfva bs ynzcfunqr?

Also, I didn't know there was a whole series of 1920s/30s game jams. Just found my entertainment for the next week or so.

I started on hard mode & failed, replay said it was easy mode but it was not..
Reloaded & reselected until I found that selecting the difficulty in game instead of before worked.
I also turned down the sound in the settings.
I didn't mind Eugene winning as I would have selected him if that was an option. That Nancy sounds stuck up to me.

 

If you are you looking for a solution or a walkthrough for one of the game links, please have a look in the comments.
