interesting... xD
made me lol

teddy 2013-12-16 21:36

heh, damn, I shot my wife

wojworks 2013-12-16 21:39

Interesting concept, but needs to be expanded beyond what there is right now. Maybe having events pan out before the questions are asked?

latfoued 2013-12-16 22:02

hhhhh, this was absolutly funny. Just was a bit confusing on how to aim. Nice work.

mamoniemm 2013-12-16 22:04

killed the wrong person ;( ;(

korwegian 2013-12-16 22:09

Their positions are randomized as well as the questions. You need to hold down the keys for a second to aim.

joekinglake 2013-12-16 22:13

Nice little game, but it needs more substance. I think the concept is cool it just needs further development. I really like the graphics.

zemmi 2013-12-16 22:15

The questions that had a subtle difference in the answer like: "5:03" being way too specific a time for a scheduled class to start or knowing where in the school they met rather than only which school, were cool. But a lot of the answers felt really random and I would just guess blindly, although it is funny that picking a question like "Which of you is real?" forces you to guess.

Web didn't work for me cause it would scroll up and down the page though windows worked and it wasn't a bad game nice concept.

travislucia 2013-12-16 23:15

Took forever to realize arrows were aim...

static-64 2013-12-16 23:19

It's interesting, and the graphics are good, but I wish you weren't just guessing for the answer.

psychopsam 2013-12-17 04:57

Nice work. Simple yet insidious at the same time.

ob6160 2013-12-17 17:47

Hilarious :D

gamelabbers 2013-12-17 18:17

Cool, simple :) I like the way you have to ask your questions in a way that you think the answer will give away the imposter, also shooting in the middle when I don't know the answer is a pretty effective interrogation technique, right? :D

sonnybone 2013-12-17 18:18

This is exactly how I would solve this situation in real life. One question. Bam. Live with the result.

Yup.

Haha!

xgeovanni 2013-12-17 18:18

The idea is good but the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. That said, the music is fitting and you did set the mood quite well. What's up with the start menu buttons though? On Linux at their really oddly positioned.

landosystems 2013-12-17 18:36

An interesting idea, but I feel that winning is somewhat random dumb luck. Perhaps if there were many clues, either in the room or in backstory, or each said something contradictory...

I like the art style - I felt like I was playing an old Sierra game. Playing multiple times (cheating perhaps?) the "plot/setup" screen was getting annoying, perhaps make it skippable? Thanks for the game!

opifex-ludus 2013-12-17 18:47

Excellent game

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 21:14

For me it's been real frustrating :(

Maybe it's not working as intended, but shooting was really annoying, since my controls didn't work properly and 2 out of 3 times I shot the air, with them saying just 'What?' (shooting yourself would've been much cool btw XD)

So since I have no idea if this is how it should be, I won't rate you yet :(

norgg 2013-12-17 21:54

Haha, I like the idea and how subtle the answers are. Sometimes it felt like the set of questions were all useless ones though and shooting in the middle to get new questions seemed like cheating when it says you only get one question.

korwegian 2013-12-17 22:57

Kalth, there's a little delay with the arrows, you have to hold them down for a second. Also, try aiming down :P

archaeometrician 2013-12-18 04:14

Really cool game, the winning music was awesome!

greasemonkey 2013-12-18 06:47

Hey, sorry about the lack of Linux testing, I volunteered myself for making music, did two WIPs, then got a migraine and couldn't continue.

The button text doesn't seem to be showing up. I could possibly help you get a bugfix working somehow.

anvoz 2013-12-18 16:37

Really fun game. Nice sound.

I shot on the ground a few times. Then I knew how to aim and... killed the wrong person.

garethiw 2013-12-19 13:47

Cool idea, but as others have said it was a bit limited with the just one question.

dremelofdeath 2013-12-20 06:52

nice game you got here. I really dig how you did the theme was implemented and I really like the flavor text and dialog

van-noctar 2013-12-20 12:28

Good game!

Jeremias 2013-12-20 19:09

Aiming with arrows was not really clear. I shot multiple times into the middle :D

xanjos 2013-12-21 00:08

Pretty interesting concept. The music matched the mood pretty well.

greasemonkey 2013-12-24 03:01

Hard drive went read-only on me, so I had to back it up and get a new hard drive. Decided to install FreeBSD. The Linux version doesn't work, but the Windows version does... except I get the same problem with there being absolutely no text in the push buttons.

gatechgrad 2014-01-06 02:30

Seems like a good start. At first I tried to click on the imposter instead of using the arrow keys/spacebar.
