I don't know why but this game reminded me of the old Tex Murphy games, which is a very good thing :D

Very nice job, A very well put together plot and an enjoyable experience :)

Fun stuff :)

Good overall and pretty well made game. The theme is respected, the music is cool, graphics are good. The only problem is that it's too "short". I mean that you should set a system of achievments to make the story longer (if you got a proof, it's listed in a kind of book) then, if you have all the proofs and hypotesis necessary to inculp somebody, then you can go see the officer to tell him.

Good fun and an interesting twist on the usual whodunits. Love how everyone's names change between rounds so you have to start your detective work all over again!

I think I want to come back to this game later... I really enjoy these types of puzzles, and you've done it on two levels. You have to figure out what you are so you can last long enough to figure out who is exhibiting traits of another monster that you can frame them as. I still haven't won yet, but this is definitely a game I'd have to write things out to figure out. Awesome work. I only wish the music was a little more ambient/eerie than it is.

So mysterious! :) Not usually a huge fan of so text heavy games but this was nicely written. :) Solid job!

The premise is very good, and there's a nice level of strategy involved. I like how the thought of becoming a monster is ever present. Overall,I enjoyed it.

Clever idea.

Great mood, loved the silhouette graphics.

neat idea, the creature descriptions are a little hard to read but otherwise pretty damn good :)

The text in the book is a bit hard to read, but otherwise I found this game really enjoyable. You have to examine everyone while at the same time examining yourself, which is a pretty clever twist on this sort of mystery game. The constant feeling of dread is great too.

Very fun once I got the hang of it.

Pretty fun game, Althought i think my lack of knowledge of mythical creatures kind of hindered my ability to play

Oh my that game is awesome :D (even if i'm not fond of narrative games usually) It has got replayability, the story is great, good job !

This is really clever and fun. I'm not a big fan of these types of games, but it got me playing for a bit. :)

Took me four tries but I did manage to blame the murder on someone else! Interesting twist to the whodunnit formula. Not a big fan of the humor though.

Well written.

sevenkingdomssurvivors 2014-05-14 05:36

Great mood. I enjoyed it!

hempuli 2014-05-14 18:19

The game's controlling system feels very archaic and thus makes the mission the player is on feel very overwhelming; I think I'll play again later. I really wish you had had time to visualize the areas more :) a very ambitious and interesting concept.

This was a great riddle game, I enjoyed figuring out what I was. Figuring out what had killed the victim was quite hard though, but that didn't necessarily hurt the game.

Great mood, fun game :) I found it pretty hard to work out what I was meant to be doing or remember everyone's names/comments (wasn't a whole heap to distinguish them) but it's a great concept and very well written.

drprettypatty 2014-05-19 02:13

This is fantastic! A little rough as far as graphics and controls go, but the gameplay, randomization, and storytelling are amazing :) I didn't manage to pin the murder on anyone, but I'm definitely going back to it to try again!
