Got it on my second try :D that dumba** serialkiller killed one guy with a knife but they were completely isolated >:D But seriously, really inventive take on the theme. Also good grief! just cancel the friggin dinner party... -_-
@nullval No way! The dinner party is too important! Haha thanks for playing our silly little game :)
Very good idea, but I would like more skins for NPCs.
Good idea and with better graphics it would be awesome game
Wierd... but kinda funny.
I really like the idea, but the realization and graphics could be better
I loved the idea! Fun game. I won the game at my second try.
The killer is the butler. Although I didn't manage to guess the killer, I had a good time.
I love the idea! It seems to me an original game, the music is very consistent and cute little critters. Too bad you don't have any more clues, I find it confusing in that aspect.
@dp3rucha We had a lot of fun coming up with the concept! Having the soundtrack synced to the events of the game was a bit of work, but it really paid off!
As for your second comment, I'm not certain I know what you're referring to. Was it the method for finding the killer that you found confusing? Or would you have preferred the killer to leave more trails behind?
this was a fun idea! haven't seen a game like this yet, so props to you. i like how clean the controls were and how easy it was to understand, especially. great job!
It fits nicely with the theme. The graphics need a bit of polish and it might benefit from other clues for deducing the killer other than proximity, or maybe clearer desings for memorizing people around a certain victim. But the controls themselves and gameplay work nicely and the idea is pretty interesting. Nice entry!:)
really enjoyed playing detective, I only caught the killer cus I recognised him hanging around all the dead bodies, can't sneak past me
Nice take on the theme. Too bad there are not real "clues" about finding the killer besides kinda clicking on whoever is not too far from the victim, though.
Great idea - would have loved to see some more mechanics tied to the discovery part.
I think I'm not a good investigator 😁. I can't find the killer but I see potential if you add a few more clues to find the killer. good job!
Very fun game! Would love it to have a button to reset current play as I had to refresh the page every time i messed up to get those 5 stars :D
VERY fun game! Didn't know what was coming when I read the description. First try took me two kills, second one like 10, the little variations in the characters makes it just difficult enough. Loved it!
Loved the concept and execution. Disagree with other comments about other clues and art style, I felt it was just enough to make it work while still making it very interesting. Sure if the game were a full release, there'd need to be more, and there are plenty of ways you can expand on this concept, but for a game jam game I think the idea was realized incredibly well, and was very fun to boot! Good work!
