Game description
You are assigned to look through the letters to find a place where people have been dissappearing to!

Theme interpretation
The whole idea of a game is to find a correct location, to reveal the secret.
Furthermore the player gets to know about secrets of some people in town by reading their letters.
There are also a "secret" phone call available and an additional "ending" that you can get.

Really fun game and I loved the writing! I also really liked the addition of the creation's letters, it felt eerie to keep getting them as it felt almost like a lost child at the start

Wow! Thank you for such a detailed and long comment! It was really nice to read your feedback.  I'm very glad you liked game!
I apologize for some bugs that you found. Thank you for pointing them out!
About the correct answer: It looks like you really made a lot of attempts to find the right answer. If you want, I could somehow inform you about the correct answer not in the comments (so that no one could spy on the correct answer)

Nice game! I love art and visuals, and writing is solid. It’s a little bit long for a game jam I think, but overall great game!

I'm obsessed with ducky pig! 

Love this style of game and think the idea is there, but it was a little cumbersome to play. I think it would be nice to have the notebook of people info and maybe the map as a button that stays in the same place, or just something more easily accessible. It made it hard to keep track of my thoughts and things when I had to scroll over to the book.

Nice game! It was quite long (for a jam game) but kept me interested all the way to the end :)

I would add a keybind (tab, escape, right-click?) as a shortcut for the "Back" button, on a large screen this was a bit annoying - also the ducks take a lot of space!
