Looks interesting! But very short. And those voices...

lizzip 2013-08-26 10:45

Couldn't really understand the voices well, but I really like the art

vvolis 2013-08-26 14:17

Visual look - 10/10. Really enjoyed it.
Also the voices ver kind of creepy but cool.
Nice job :)

ysty 2013-08-26 15:39

Wow, the graphics are great. Great game!

xrm0 2013-08-26 16:28

Nice art. All the voices playing at the same time is a bit confusing.

tamat 2013-08-26 16:39

Neat idea, it took me a while to get the concept, I was stressed by the audio.

infin8 2013-08-26 16:50

Awesome. I didnt realise the voices were the thoughts i was hearing at first. Great use of the 10s theme.

larzan 2013-08-26 17:17

Interesting idea, although i couldn;t read the dialogs, the text appeard for a second and got skewed then. Is that intentional?
Anyhow, nice idea and like the visuals

beardbotnik 2013-08-26 17:59

Larzan, how did it get skewed? Not sure what could be wrong, but if you could give me details on what version of the game you were playing, full screen or not, and maybe a screenshot if you have the time, that would be super helpful, thanks for playing everyone! :D

triplevisiongames 2013-08-26 18:53

Fantastic idea and amazing graphics. Great mood too and good use of the theme. Only issue I had was with the sound, it was a bit too difficult to hear them properly

someguy22 2013-08-26 18:54

Great idea! Though I could barely understand the voices... but I think that's on purpose haha. Nice job :)

symmeteer 2013-08-26 18:58

Cool idea! It was hard to make out the thought-voices, but that was definitely a feature - made it more interesting to work out what they were actually thinking. If you can, this would be great extended to multiple levels or randomly generated murders or something.

beardbotnik 2013-08-26 19:26

Thanks! I actually talked to a friend of mine who does writing and stuff, so he can help me make various different cases to solve (and do better voice recordings). I was hoping to do at least 3 random cases, but time constrainst sort of stopped that from happening...

mlinus 2013-08-26 19:30

My psychic skills were low today. :D But I really liked the thought idea. :)

latency 2013-08-26 20:02

Love the graphics and feel, brilliant! I needed to mute it after a bit though, all the voices were running together haha, a lot of fun and a super cool style.

recursor 2013-08-26 20:09

Great artwork, and I like the gameplay style too. The computer generated voices were a bit hard to understand at times, but I still managed to get the killer. Well done!

n0_named_guy 2013-08-26 22:10

I admit, I cheated my way to win the game. All I did was run back, point a suspect, fail, repeat until I get the right one.

It was difficult for me to hear the voices, since English is not my native language. And if I got stuck between the ladies the voices would repeat themselves.

Fantastic job on the graphics! A 3D game with a 2D feel (or is it the other way around?). The shoulder view effect is nicely done.

I liked your game, but I like the concept more. And you conveyed it pretty well. I would like to see this game grow.

In my opinion the connection to the theme is a bit far fetched. I feel no 10 seconds influence... But that's just me.

Rated 7/10 would play again if only I could understand what they think (closed captions would help on this, for us international users).

umu 2013-08-27 00:10

I like the style of the voices, but they WERE pretty hard to hear. I think less reverb and slightly longer gaps between the words would have helped. I like the concept and the graphics quite a lot. Obviously not a lot of depth to the puzzle, but interesting nonetheless.

Oh, the perspective behind the detective rules. Its like Resident Evil 4 but awesomer.

kevinzuhn 2013-08-27 04:28

Echoing what's been said about the voices. Subtitles would be appreciated.

I wound up accusing Gordie, though I'm not sure how I concluded that he was the killer. The only clues I remember are that the killer was tall and that Gordie was disgruntled. I had hoped to get more out of the characters' thoughts. It makes sense that they be distracted and flighty (as thoughts are) but I'd hoped for a bit more information woven in between non sequitur.

I like the over-the-shoulder controls, and the characters designs a lot, as well as mind reading as a concept. It would be nice to use 'space' to read minds instead of having them play automatically!

cardboard 2013-08-27 05:31

I couldn't figure it out how to guess correctly, so I just picked everybody until I got it. The graphics and animations are excellent and the voices are interesting and good. I also think the overall feel of the game was very nice.

moosefly 2013-08-27 12:37

Great idea! Nice simple graphics. I really liked the behind the back camera.

torvik88 2013-08-27 16:19

Pretty neat game but the echoes and various bugs annoy me.

farfromsleep 2013-08-27 23:45

Oh man, this is great! I love the look of everything, the over-the-shoulder style and especially the bizarre suda51-style voice performances. Please do more with this!

lordhellmax 2013-08-28 02:16

Very original graphics, I wish I could hear the voices better though, as it's kinda the point of the game.

daoyster 2013-08-28 17:39

Nice, liked the art very much. Good concept too.

theholychicken 2013-08-29 03:03

Holy the voices are creepy!
Terrific visual style, though. Great job!

ddionisio 2013-08-29 03:53

I love the art in this game, really well done! The voices freaked me out though. It's no wonder he looks melancholic. I had a hard time understanding the voices, they might've been a little fast.

Overall clean presentation and well made.

ratalaika 2013-08-29 17:23

good job

andrewshouldice 2013-08-29 21:56

What a neat idea! Nicely done on the art as well.

My inner monologue sounds exactly like this.

lokarunith 2013-08-29 23:51

Genius concept and gameplay, the voices are strange and a bit hard to understand but it adds to the paranormal/murder atmoshpere and if they were easy to comprehend the game would be less fun and challenging.

gigabass 2013-08-30 00:00

Very short game;
Liked how weird and "psychotic-like" the voices sounded :)

vaalen 2013-08-30 13:53

Really good job on this very particular graphic style. These creepy voices are however difficult to understand.

2013-09-01 03:30

Awesome game!

pighead10 2013-09-01 22:50

The voices could have been clearer, given that they were essential to the game.

codexus 2013-09-06 14:44

I didn't understand the concept on my first try. The computer generated voices are very annoying to listen to but the drawings are top-notch.
