Hey, interesting game! I think I lost because I didn't get the answer correct, but the result was satisfactory for me, I guess. I'm going to go play it again.

EDIT: Okay, I got it right on the second try. I like how you play as a different suspect every time.

Cool take on the theme, and the audio was really fitting, well done :)

Wow Best Game so far. Interesting take on the Theme. Good job. Also incredible Art and Audio. I wish I was that talented :)

Very interesting take on the Theme and graphics are fantastic, good job!

Wonderful! Combining two words to gather more information is super interesting, and gives players tons of room to figure out the mystery on their own. For navigation it would have been nice to have some onscreen icons - took me a while to realize the stairs were interactive.

Really liked the story here, I think it was good of you to make the clickable things scale up a little bit when you hovered over it. I thought the music went with it really well too

Pretty cohesive but the deduction system was a little confusing. I enjoy mystery games greatly and so happy to see this made. Reminds me of fond memories of Killed Until Dead and the Law and Order PC games.

Nice game and I like your take on the theme. I would make the doors a little more obvious in that main room, but otherwise I liked the mechanics and flow of the game.

Whoa! A mystery detective adventure game! Nice!!! Excellent point of view (first person - I just prefer it from the usual third person of adventure games) Nice murder story, something which is very difficult to pull off during a Jam. I know, I tried :smile: Nice graphics that are more than adequate for the game. Nice UI that don't distract from the story. My only complain (minor since for a Jam game this is good work) is that the game pretty much play itself. Yes I know you explore several locations but still it feel that way. Still an excellent entry in LD45!!

Oh! A really nice entry we have here. I played it more than once just to check other possibilities. It's fun that with each game the outcome is different! Everythings works smoothly (I wasn't able to toggle audio in the first scene tho - played via browser), it's easy to navigate and use the information share system. The only thing is that the UI could be a litle better visually but it's overally fine and I like the game! Good luck with your next games <3

cool!very interesting game! Although I didn’t find the correct answer in the end, this storyline made me feel very interesting. great job!

I liked the clues and how you could selectively tell people things. I would've liked to start over before finding out who the killer was though (I got it wrong :sweat_smile:). Keep up the good work!

It's really intersting quest, nice work!!!

This was a really interesting game; I love that it was actually randomized so that on each play-through everything was different. I kept replaying until I got a play-through where _I_ was the killer, but I wasn't able to successfully bin the blame on one of the others :stuck_out_tongue:

In any case, really impressive work!

Fun and interesting game. I liked the art, particularly the characters, and the chill music game the game a cool vibe. I realised I was probably the killer, so decided to tell some lies to throw suspicion off me. The AI found too many clues against me to put the suspicion on any of the others, but I made them unsure at least.

Great mood :)

I loved, how I thought that I am the killer, and tried to put blame on blonde... Who turned out to be the actual killer xD

I see potential, for emergent stories like mine coming from your game, which is great, because I like personal narratives. Great job!

nurkkacthulhu 2019-10-20 19:13

Interesting and really fun! I loved the art and being a detective, though I sucked very thoroughly at it :D Good audio, the music gave the perfect the mystery feel. I'd play more!

balance686 2019-10-21 04:45

I don't play many point and click/mystery games but I enjoyed this one! You made great use of the theme and I really dig the music (I still have it playing in the background right now haha). The hand drawn aesthetic is stylish and the story was engaging. I didn't pick the right killer but I'm not the best detective :P Great submission!

mrstari 2019-10-27 11:29

that was great :D Nice Job !

madbarron 2019-10-27 19:25

This is so cool! Very clever. I think the killer gave us a very important piece of information at the end; I thought the killer would lie as much as possible but maybe that would break the game. Well done!
