How does the game fit the theme?
The game is a randomized murder mystery where you have to question the suspects and gather evidence to solve the crime. Who knows what you can trust?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Snippets of code have been repurposed from past projects. A few music tracks and sound effects were gathered from external sources, sourced in the description.

This was a very fun little game to play! I didn't pick up on the gameplay at first, but I did manage to strategize in time and solve the mystery before the end! Very cute game with Clue-like elements. One small thing that I found a little weird is that a NPC can clear themselves. On my run Lady Sage cleared herself so I had to deliberate for a moment if she was lying or if it was an element of randomization. Otherwise, this was a pretty polished game! The visuals and UI really made for the vibes of a cozy mystery.
Really polished game! The art, music and overall presentation are fantastic, and I really liked the randomized murder mystery setup.
One thing I would have loved is for some of the witnesses to lie or give misleading information, just to make the deduction a little trickier.
Also, I was mildly disappointed that the whoopee cushion didn’t end up being the murder weapon in my case. I have a morbid curiosity about how that one would work. :-D
Nice one:)
I love the style! Cool take on a solo cluedo game, do wish the clues weren't just clear cut information and there was something to deduce but I understand the time constraints. Very good jam game all in all!
I was really lucky—I figured it out on the first try! :D
Overall, I had a good time playing this game. Still, I wondered if we were on track with the theme (since I trusted everyone to fill out my deduction notebook :D) Finally, even though I thought the graphics were cute, the camera angle felt too close to me. To explore the manor, I think i would have been more comfortable with a more distant viewpoint. Well done, team!
Yoo, the art is fire, and music well complements it
And really glad to see someone managed to make procedural generated murder mystery (i tried to do this too, but decided to compress this to a single linear story due to sheer complexity)
Glad you liked the music. That was meeeee
ahhhh so cute I adore it, 5/5 for visuals!!!
Everything is so darn beautiful?
I love that each run is random. The art style is so cute and well drawn, it really brings the game together. The only thing bothering me is the text sound effect, but overall it's so good.
There was so much polish in this game. The randomness was awesome when I tried to do a 2nd clear. The sound effects in the ambiance are awesome. Jazz also makes this feel really cozy. The time estimate was done really well. I never felt rushed even though I had talk with people or clues couple times at some points. Really good design on that part. The art and UI were amazing. Y’all did great!
Glad the music did it's magic 😋
you did a fantastic job in brining in Clue and cats together with that randomness . good job.
Oh this was a cute one! This was like cluedo without the tension, lol. Randomized murder mystery, its has a similar randomization in my game! I think the one thing I wished this has is the suspects lying or at least give out red herrings. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunate, is that I completely forgot to cross out one of the locations which really brought out a challenge, which I was looking for here. Nonetheless, everything was flawless. Nice job!! ^^
this is sooooooo cute!! qwq i adore all the little characters and the UI is beautiful. managed to solve the case too!! :DD
Really nice game! The art style is super cute, and I absolutely loved the cat detective! I also thought using randomized crimes was a really clever idea and adds a lot to the game. Great job!
bro u did way better than what we tried to make
first of all super cute!!! this is such a great game! i like the art style so much. the color palette. the characters are cute. if you and your team has enough time, it can be even more amazing! like exploring the map can be more satisfying. the clue and conversation can even be more subtle. but, i totally can see where this is going! i love it!
It's great the game is randomized! I played it twice! It seems the magnifying glass image for the clues didn't appear for me the first time (just their sparkles). I like that the locations of the clues/suspects are randomized too. It'd be nice if the suspects didn't prove their own innocence though, I had Mrs. Bigglesworth say that Mrs. Bigglesworth wasn't involved... 😅
Great UX as well with the notepad and being able to refer to it at the end as well when making the deduction, though I would have liked if the timer paused while referring to it or at least being able to move around still with it open. One or the other. Amazing job!
Cute game, love the characters designs. Mr. Bigglesworth unfortunately never saw that cupcake coming. RIP
so cute im loving this game
Very cute! I love the art for this so much <3
