Whose Hellos Are These, Anyway?

You find yourself in the unexpected and surreal world of 'Hello-ville', a quirky town where everyone's greetings have gone rogue. As the new 'Greeting Inspector', your job is to trace the source of mysteriously disappearing hellos that have turned the townsfolk into cold-shoulder strangers. You'll encounter bizarre characters like a disgruntled mailman who lost his signature 'Howdy!', a conspiracy theorist gardener who believes hellos are an alien trap, and a group of rowdy children who have taken to greeting one another in increasingly ridiculous ways. Solve puzzles and gather clues through dialogue, choosing your responses wisely to navigate friendships, rivalries, and absurd situations. Can you restore the town's greetings and uncover the truth behind this bizarre phenomenon before the sun sets on Hello-ville forever?
