Superb atmosphere! I really like the rain with the combination of the dark background and parallax - gave everything a moody feeling. The art was simple but well executed.

I think some minor improvements can be:

  • Progress dialog with keyboard
  • Make some things more noticable - I search for the green guy friend for a long time, and almost missed the red flowers
  • Maybe have a little more on the book, a picutre and more notes

I did fail to solve the mystery, but I suspect who it is. I appricated the specific text for the people I accuse. Really a gem of a game!

I was delighted when I discovered that the primary objective was not jumping, an I quite like the controls. I enjoy the visuals, especially the color choices. I did not solve the mystery, but that's on me because I ran out of RL time.

One of the few games I played where the attention to sound has been so good. I can tell you know how to build a game, and how to slowly introduce the player to the game without overwhelming them, it's a skill that really gets overlooked. The art is simple but I love it, it has a certain charm to it. And the gameplay is super smooth. Stellar work!

Not bad at all. It felt like an undertale themed whodunit.

The case itself was a bit too simple for my taste, two fetch quest and then the mystery pretty much solves itself. I feel like that undermines your implementation of the theme.

I really liked the fact that you could just accuse people left and right to get alternative ending however. Nice touch.
