Awesome graphics, nice game! Good job guys!

I won! I have to admit it was all luck though! The person that I thought was the killer and I was watching all the time actually ended up getting murdered.

Everything works well, but I do have a suggestion. When you get the anonymous note at the beginning it referred to the killer as male ("he" "him") but the murderer ended up being a woman.

Great game. Everything works together!

good job!

Nice graphics and I like the whole "whodunnit" theme going on.

Nice little game. =)

Reminds me of Godfather, I like the mafia style games, very good job.

Loved the game. Excellent work!

I had a lot of fun with this game. I like how it is a mixture of a bunch of other types of games and Rear Window. I just started playing it to see what it was like and I found myself playing it and reading its' text and enjoying it.

I really enjoyed this game. Way different from most of the other entries, and must've been fun/hard to write and program. Was it a reference to Hitchcock's Rear Window...?

The mood for me is kinda ruined by the dialogue. Very innovative though.

gigawicket 2014-12-09 02:11

Great concept and excellent graphics. Got a bit confused about what to do.

rzfmzn 2014-12-09 02:11

Liked it. Took me a moment to figure it out, but nice game indeed. Replay elements and lots to pay attention to :)
Nice work guys :)

tielbyrd 2014-12-09 02:12

Very well done! Finding the murderer is trickier than I thought it would be.

Very good storyline

2014-12-09 02:13

In the game. Some situation - random. And every new game the killer choose randomly.
You must certanly remember killer's hobbies all time. Game has many variety dialogs (depends on who is killer) - they have to help you detect killer))

Not a big fan of detective game, but the graphics and music are incredible!

luisguimaraes 2014-12-09 02:17

Everything perfect! :D Will it be improved to have more replayablity?

mekuri 2014-12-09 02:19

I love these kinds of games! You really managed to create a good mood here! The clues didn't really help me much though- I ended up being defeated :P - I will give it a go again, maybe trying a few times makes it easier to see a pettern. Good job!

yosh 2014-12-09 02:39

That was brilliant. Really hard though. Great use of the theme!

thalia 2014-12-09 02:43

<< Was it a reference to Hitchcock's Rear Window...?
Yes, you are right. It is.
<< Will it be improved to have more replayablity?
Yes, it's possible to do. Now all these 10 characters can be combined for many different storyes with 10 finals. And game already has good replayablity.

2014-12-09 02:47

Fixed critical bug with character "Mary Takker"!! i guess all would be fine now))

johngalt 2014-12-09 04:04

Masterpiece!

ajopart 2014-12-09 17:44

Awesome !

awesomenuclearmonkeys 2014-12-09 17:47

Very interesting and nice graphics!
It is fun to play more even several times!
I really like the way you used the theme

geckoo1337 2014-12-09 18:17

Мне понравилось. В начале я не понял ничего, но в конце концов я нашел убийца...
Mood is really oppressive like in the movie. Well done ++

benjamin-soule 2014-12-09 18:40

So good.
I never had such a detective feeling since Maupiti Island ( Amiga ) I played 3x times

ithildin 2014-12-09 19:00

Great concept, but I admit that I lost two or three people before catching the murderer -_-U

boaheck_artgent 2014-12-09 19:29

Nice mood, and col theme interpretation. I just couldn't find any clues as to who it would be every time.

deepnight 2014-12-10 00:15

A very clever take on the theme, well done :)

2014-12-10 10:53

Thanks you. We are happy that you enjoy our game.

shaunjs 2014-12-10 17:44

This caught my eye! I liked the look of the screenshots and concept so I wanted to check it out.

Cool use of the theme! It took me a while to really try and work out 'how to play' and what was going on and what string of logic I needed to use to work out who the killer was. I spent a lot of the game early on paying attention to the text that seemed mostly unhelpful compared to where each person was at any point. I think some of the not-great english hurts the game a little as some lines are difficult to read or understand.

I noticed time could suddenly pass an hour even if I didn't click on a window which was very surprising given the timer moves in smaller increments by itself. The sudden loss of an hour while I was trying to work out "who was where" was a bit jarring.

Overall though I think the idea is pretty cool and could go a long way with some general polish and cleaner presentation.

Good job on making it!

larzan 2014-12-11 17:24

Great concept, music, art! Didn't manage to find the killer, but this i a well done game, congrats!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-11 18:55

Awesome game! Good story and graphics. Great work!

shadow64 2014-12-11 20:56

I really like the layout of this a lot. I think it's a very cool concept of listening in and piecing together who could be the murderer. The only thing that's a little off for me is the fade transition between time and how short the conversations are - both make the game feel very abrupt. That said, those are things that will be worked out with polish and for 72 hours, this is a really cool start. I hope you continue building on it.

Thank you for sharing and congrats! :D

thopis 2014-12-13 08:43

Very nice girl! i love it's concept!cool work!

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-14 10:30

Victory! Great game mate.

donovanwu 2014-12-14 19:44

The graphics is amazing! Audio blends with the environment of the game, too. I'm deeply impressed!

nicepenguins 2014-12-14 21:12

The mood and music are excellent. The idea is cool but confusing and frustrating. Too much time between window clicks.

phocker 2014-12-16 04:06

pretty interesting - but not really my style - i really like the style you went for tho

lemmily 2014-12-18 13:11

Good work, I managed to get the guy! :D

sot 2014-12-23 12:11

Great atmosphere and good graphics!

mechamew 2014-12-25 17:47

Simply brilliant.

I should mention straight away that Rear Window is a personal favourite, so maybe I'm a little swayed by your inspiration here ;)

Honestly though, this is a real stand out entry. Brilliant game mechanics - wonderful to see something that rewards observation and deduction. A great take on how to do detective games! Ties in very well to the jam's theme, which is quite a plus!

Looks good and sounds even better. Mostly, I'm just overjoyed to find an entry with such superb writing! And so much of it? Bravo!

This is a real gem! I hope it lands up being highly rated across he board. You should be very, very proud of what you've made here!
