This game is loads of fun, and my favourite use of the theme so far. The simple animations (especially the helicopter!) actually give it a lot of character. It's interesting to see how different actions affect the suspicion (even eating!), but I think it says a lot about real life. I found it all (especially the utterances of the townsfolk) very funny, while also quite disturbing, which IMO is a great achievement!
It wasn't completely clear what my goal was at the start, but maybe that's intentional? Anyway, I figured it out after playing for a little while, and managed to escape with 40 gold! One thing I wasn't sure about was whether the fire had any purpose; I think I managed to use everything else. Perhaps I should have paid the tip portal some more gold... :D
This game was really fun! I really like how much exploration you can fit into such a small world. The animation of the helicopter was hilarious! There was only two things that I disliked about this game.
1. I didn't realize until really late in the game that I could walk up to the fire. It didn't seem accessible, but I do see an attempt on your part to make it more visible with the sloped hill.
2. I really disliked how the people came out and questioned you anyway, even when my suspicion was at -74/100.
Juggling between smelting the ores, mining, eating and fishing was quite fun. All in all, you did a good job.
P.S. I got 69 Gold. Not intentional, I Swear!
I accidentally posted the above comment twice, and there is no way to delete comments so instead I just edited this one to say this. Smart, amirite?

Nice game, interesting concept. The crowd following me was disturbing :D
Cute little game. Good feel to it and cool mechanics. I wasn't clear on what was increasing the suspicion, or what would end the game.

Neat game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKyqjTvBURc
