This is very nicely made. The aesthetic and sound are beautiful and cohesive. You actually included a lot of content as well which most impressed me. Very nice work, good job.

Fantastic play on the classic detective stereotype mixed with the theme. I'm usually not one for dialogue games but this one kept me captivated with it's great writing, artwork and sound design. A really solid entry, good job :D
Very cool art style reminds me of an ai trying to make art neat.
Even though I usually don't play this kind of games I liked it. The artstyle is amazing and the music is relaxing :D
This is very well made for such a short time, well done. The art style is beautiful and the music sets the mood perfectly, but the best part is the writing, very well written.
Nice writing, interesting story and I like the unique Artstyle. Only thing that i missed was an explanation for the buttons at the bottom, but overall great entry.
Played a couple of times, first a quick ending, next time I was very careful until I met that boss :) Very stylish art & music, great composition in images.
Great game, I loved the story.
Another bunch of Aussie LD visual novel devs. I love that. The mood was fantastic.
This is awesome, I was hooked in by the art style and stayed for the story. Really impressive job for a Ludum Dare project, would love to see a full-length game by you guys!
Nice film noir graphics, you did a good job. I had some glitches with what looks like images being loaded.
Nice atmosphere and beautiful graphics, great entry!
This reminded me of the old HyperCard games I used to make/play back in the day. Liked the graphics, good job!
I loved the art style, you girls nailed it! Interesting story and great music. Keep on the good work!
Nice story, good amount of content and character building for only 2-3 days. Good job!
Woow I'm watching it on https://www.twitch.tv/justcamh stream and I'm loving it. Rated already ^^ nice characters, scenario, game feel, congratulations!
Beautiful game. Loads of content. congrats
Hey team, thanks for submitting the game to stream! Such an incredible story, the art and audio were on fleek too. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned, here's the vod if you'd like to rewatch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1169813985
Stunning visuals. I'd make half the game my desktop.
Cool. I had to go back and check out the different ending. Nice touch. Thanks for the submission.
Really beautiful work! Loved the music throughout. And it was just so beautiful to look at! I reached the end, but I'll probably play a few times to check out the various endings. Nice job team!
There's so much story in here! And you even have them go to different endings instead of just being superficial choices. Really really cool.
Do I need to even mention the music? Absolutely amazing! How can you make that during a weekend?!
Oh wow. I absolutely loved this entry. The game oozed style and spoke with the vibrant and beautiful story you composed. The music was top notch, and the various different routes to the story made this one an absolute blast to play. Honestly keep this kind of thing up: I'd love to see a full VN or detective style game from you guys one day.
This is absolutely amazing :heart: Love the art style and the music, very interesting story! :heart: Got two different endings!

Oooh, I just love the art, so avant garde. Ugh, it's so inspiring. I might just have to include more textures in my art too now.
The writing is so noir, I can literally hear the swoon of detectives in old b&w movies in the writing <3
And the music is soooo good, especially when Swirl comes on?!
One thing I wished for was an inventory so I could see all the items I'd found. I also wished that certain options like Examine drawer were not shown if they didn't have anything new to say (i.e. id clicked them before, then when I click them again, they show the same dialogue)
Anyways, you really nailed this one, esp on art/audio/story! Good job :)
As has been said, the visuals are absolutely killer. The music and sound design are also top notch and created a really authentic atmosphere on top of the writing and very clear character voices. While I wasn't able to explore all of the possible endings, I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of writing and story that was fit into this project. Keep on swirling!
This is awesome! Great job with the atmosphere, got every ending except one (Think it was B, but I'm not entirely sure)
This game deserved gold, regardless of final ranking, you guys did great this jam!
