I'd recommend adding a thumbnail picture to your submission page here, you're on the first page of games and it would probably attract more people to play your game. You can still add it after you publish :)

I'm not really sure what to do in this game? I can move around the room but can't find a way to interact with anything.
Love the music and atmosphere. The art, I think nails the noir aesthetic.
Jazz music is good，but I think I can't do anything except walk aroud in the game scene. Looking forward to a complete version!
The music is good, fitting with the detective vibe, I think the game has underlying potential once it finished, game-making is not an easy task for everyone after all, I acknowledged the effort you put into it.
Although it's not yet complete, but the atmosphere and detective elements are so cool. Keep it up！
I will have to echo what those above have said. This game would be cool if it were finished, but unfortunately it isn't. I still respect the time that was put in here.
As for what's there, I like the idea and the use of the theme. Limited space actually works really well for a detective setting. The visuals could use some work but they aren't that bad. I think the sprite offset is a bit janky on the player- whenever I turn his position seems to jump. The audio isn't too bad either, but some more sounds could improve the atmosphere of the room. Stuff like wood creaking, echoed footsteps, maybe even flies around the remains.
Hopefully this gets finished at some point, but for now sorry but I can't rate this too highly. Keep working on it though, I think it could go somewhere.
First of all, i apreciate all feedback that we get ! It's our first experience in game-dev , and we don't practice anything before. The Unity engine we chose like in the day when we saw the theme, andddd we had no experience here. Thanks to @nichita , he decided to understood the whole Unity in 24h, but unlucky.
The feedback motivated us a lot to finish the game! I have no idea when, but we will post the realese version someday! I had a lot of mechanics on the papper, and a great story, but we haven't the time to understand how to make this works. I like the Noir movies, and i decided that it's a great style for graphics in a detective game.
Thank you all for the comments and rates! It's was really needed!
p.s. i want to say again about the video that you can find in the folder with the game, it's supposed to be a intro-cutscene for the story, but we have no time to place it in the game :) .
Music is pretty moody i'd like to say!
It's a pity you didn't finish the game, but the scene that's present in the game looks promising
The picture is well done, you immediately wonder what happened here. The music is appropriate. I'd like to play the completed version.
Looks like a good start. Looking forward to seeing a completed game.
It seems there's nothing to do? I can just move the detective and he walks very slowly. The mood is nice, but there's no game. I understand it's a first work in progress, then I wish you all the best to continue and try to develop some mechanics.
