Heh, that was pretty enjoyable.
The level of detail in endings was pretty crazy too.
Is it wrong that I accused everyone of the murder?
Btw, some of the light grey buttons were unpressable.

The story is really detailed. It makes me think of Conan the detective.
The graphics are quite good now. Hope to see the whole game when you finish!
This game seemed very complete. I completely forgot that it was a Ludum Dare game most of the time and just enjoyed the game, which, unfortunately, is not true of all of the games I've tried. The correct option ended up being one of the last ones I tried, though. I would say more, but I don't want to spoil it to others.
"the professor has been shot and it must be by someone in this room!" I was like no shit? A nice tribute to the detective stories.
The writing was great and quite detailed, and kept the game entertaining to the end.
In the end it told me I caught the culprits but did I really?
It seemed pretty tedious, but it's more likely because I'm a bad detective. There's also the known issues so yeah.
I love investigations, so I quite enjoyed the game! I'm not sure I found all the possible clews though since a spot was left empty at bottom right. So I'm a bit frustrated I had to try several options out of feelings to end the game instead of having found one last good clue...
It was still pretty enjoyable! :)
I really suck at being a detective. Also after 3 or 4 good attempts I found that clicking every box in frustration at the beginning didn't work. So I have to ask, how did you decide who did it?
I liked it, but I didn't like how after getting all the clues pointing out the killer was still just a wild guess. Still don't know who did it.
Very fun!
Very interesting game, but not much related with the theme.
I like the characters. They have unique personalities
Wow, simply wow. Although the relationship to the theme is pretty loose, the game is really enjoyable, well structured and well written. Exploring the possibilities is very cool and reminiscent of the best investigation games!
It's really cool to see that you get to uncover dirty secrets through simple questions. Very nice, I tip my hat to you! The graphics are good too, but it could have used some sound.
By the way, I found the right answer on my first try! ^^
great use of the theme - loved the game
kind of reminded me of the 'Case Closed' anime/manga
Ludum Dare surely needs more games like this one
well done :)
I thought it was awesome, the questions were great and it was interesting being thrown towards believing others were the culprit. It could of done with a little audio but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it great job on the characters too!
Dammit Wayne I know its you just fess up already! A great game a nice change of pace.
I played for a bit then started accusing people. I like that you need to dig up the proof before making accusations and the idea of telling a story that the player feels they dig into. If you find the time please comment / rate my game: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=1888
Woo, I figured it out!
I had trouble clicking on the buttons, most often with Wayne. I either had to back out and talk to him again, or hunt around the corners of the buttons to get them to work.
Anyway, the story was fun to unravel and I liked the questioning system. Would have liked more opportunities to combine subjects, but I'm sure that would have taken far too much time for the jam!
Wow, I'm such a bad detective!
I found it difficult to remember their names. It'd be really helpful if you show their names alongside their portraits.
But overall, I enjoyed playing the game. The characters were really well drawn!
Very enjoyable with a good amount of detail.
Nice characters, good game :)
I enjoyed a lot the questioning mechanic, and the story was very interesting, with clearly defined characters. I managed to guess it right the first time, but I think it was mostly out of luck, as even though I had enough evidence, it wasn't that strong compared to the others' possible reasons.
Great job!!
Wow.. very polished one.
Nice graphics but quickly boring and repetitive. Nice one, though :)
hard, but impressive that you did all this story pathing and writing in a short amount of time.
Loved the little clue like game! Very fun to play! I featured it in my compilation video of Ludum dare 27 games, if you'd like to check it out http://youtu.be/PSym67k7zBg
Like a good Agatha Christie story and also that even though someone has died they have the same facial expressions all the time! Love it!
An amazingly detailed story. And the dialog system is pretty cool!
Clicking on buttons was buggy at times (maybe because my pc is terrible).
Pretty enjoyable game!
great graphics and design, lots of work involved in the detailed questionning, interesting take on the theme
nice work
Ha! Wow this is so well-written!
The characters are detailed (nice illustrations btw!) and the whole thing was just a lot of fun!
Bonus points for having 2 girls as well as 2 boys.
That's the best story-based game I've found here so far. Great dialogues, and I like how you could take every option alone or in connection with somebody else. It was fun learning about the relationships between the characters. In the end I needed the walkthrough though - I guess it was too subtle for me. Now that I think about it afterwards though, [SPOILER OMITTED] the only with with motive AND a way to do it - I guess I should've thought more about the line of motives :)
I really liked this, it was fun trying to figure out whodunit. Although I realized I'm not really cut out to be a detective! Great work.
That's the amazing piece of work! I still didn't get the last clue so I don't know who's the murderer...
