Detective Pier

Nice work making this little point-n-click mystery game.

Visual Feedback: - The text felt quite small during conversations. - It was hard to tell what was interactive (no UI cues on hover / highlights / etc.)

Narrative Feedback: - The personalities of the characters could be more over-the-top and exciting. - I had the option to go to the Pier, but I'm not sure why I would go there?! It would be better if the revealed evidence unlocked new travel locations (because then it makes sense to travel to them)

I was quite surprised by the end. With the clues I had found I am not sure how I should have ever known who was actually the murder.

A very cool visual detective story. Lacks animations and visual anchors. The characters themselves made from photographs look very funny (in a good way). The music goes well with the surroundings.

@poweranze, Yes, lack of good evidences is a problem. I am sure this could be solved easily, if we spent more than one day on a script. Thanks for feedback!

@alttabber Actually, some of those characters are developers and other just friends xD To be fair, we included sounds on picking items, on choosing your phrase..., but for some reason it works only if you launch the game from unity. We haven't solved this problem yet.

Not a bad setup for a detective mystery! I liked the different suspects and how each of them could've had plausible motives for the murder. There were some good clues you got by clicking on parts of the crime scene, I kind of wished that I could revisit those clues somehow, like the exact shoe size. The notepad is a good start- keeping more thorough details in there would be helpful!

I really like the visual style of this game, such a great idea to have photo cutouts! It gives the game a nice atmosphere too. I agree with previous comments about the text being quite small in the html version. The music is also really fitting! Well done!

@pxldev and @zenbarista, Thanks for a feedback.

Music is written by one unfortunately unknown genius, here is his spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/04hILGvcRqh9ugNUmU3keO?si=ptyJyqdgQN-IuB02NC6tJA&nd=1

Amazing game!!! I really like the story. Characters look so sweaty, especially policeman, i like his mustache.

We played your game in multiplayer two days ago during our stream. Here is a link to the exact place in the video archive if you wish to see it again: SPOILER WARNING!! https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=aC3sZsRjx5g&t=5715s

We really enjoyed this murder mystery! The atmosphere of the whole city is gloomy and intriguing. The text font could have been larger though, it was a bit hard to read at time, but overall, very good game!
