It's so awesome!
Love the illustration and style
very good and interesting! I'm glad that I passed the game completely)
I really had a fun time playing it. surprisingly i got a few times wrong even wif sufficient time.
Loooove the ambiance, the graphics are amazing and I love the gameplay :)
I like the gameplay
Cool game!
Decent one
Very visually impressive! The ambience is great! I appreciate the fact that the suspects are procedurally generated. I didn't understand that until the fourth arrest. Good job!
I made a mistake one time and arrested the wrong suspect but I was otherwise able to beat the game. I really enjoy logical deduction puzzles like this and so I had a lot of fun playing your game, even if the constant ticking clock was a bit stressful. It's a shame you didn't really make a game that meets the theme of the event, however I still like what you managed to create and I'm glad you took part and submitted a finished product.
Great game, looks really good! Audio ambiance is really nice. The puzzles are quite good! If you expand the game, here's what I would suggest: have several documents/source of information to look at. Maybe here, it would be interesting to NOT have the photos on the documents but just on the TV, so that you actually have to search for the information you want. Like: does suspect 1 have glasses? lemme check on my tv. You could have other mechanics like that, maybe using different medium: for example, would be very cool to be able to listen to voicemail, or read e-mails, or look at photos. Just throwing a bunch of ideas here, dunno what would work though.
Anyway a really cool entry, there's so much potential!
Really liked this, felt very Papers Please. It took me a while to understand how to use the TV screen to blank off suspects I'd crossed off but that made it easier to keep track of. Really good stuff!
Really fun game, the metronome and crackling really give that feeling that you're racing against the clock like an old school detective. Great entry
Very beautiful graphics and sound design. I liked the game overall, but I wish there were a bit more challenge. I just kept receiving clues that made everything crystal clear. But again overall it is a great entry!
The game strongly reminded me of "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" the same vibes. By the end, it becomes a bit boring. I wished that the suspects would give some clues about themselves on the TV. Or that you could ask them questions and receive truthful or not-so-truthful answers. Maybe a polygraph?
But this is a good project for jam!
I really like the concept. The atmosphere and the graphics are great ! Nice job !
Liked the concept and art. It has a Guess Who mixed with Papers Please, the timer adds pressure.
Improvement suggestions: - make it possible to deduce without all the clues and something to make it relevant (a par score, or some cost related to clues) - add something to the screen so that it makes you want/need to look at it. I found myself mostly going arround the suspect list
Very cool
Top marks on everything except for theme here, this was really fun and I struggled on the last 3 levels.

I didn't really make use of the TV so that might have helped, I just went through in order of suspects and revealed all the clues then worked down each list.
Nice tiny game, with good art. Gameplay wise it's fine, however it doesn't have any challenge. Opening clues feels pointless, as there's no obvious risk. I think, it would be better, if some of the clues took away time for opening them. Alternatively, some information about suspects can be hidden and to open it the player pay with time.
I've completed the game! It was fun, interesting and kinda challenging. Love the ambiance, the sounds, the graphics and the mecanics which makes me think of "who am I". Congratulations!
What an efficient game! I really liked the original gameconcept, the whole deduction principle works beautifully, and the difficulty is superbly balanced. I particularly liked the fact that I couldn't see the clock and was stressed by the little music in my ears as the deadline approached! (it reminded me of Outer Wilds ahah :smile: ). The graphics have an identifiable feel, and the sound design is minimalist, just right. On the other hand, it's a bit far removed from the theme, but that's really the only flaw I found in this very successful game! Well done!!
would be nice to have an elimination mechanic, and add more risk to the reveal of the clues
Cool and engaging submission! I managed to finish and really enjoyed it :) result.png
Nice simple and tiny game with one, but cool and solid mechanic :> Love it!
Great art !
fun revisit of a " Guess Who ?" the game from our childhood :)
