Very well done! I am a big fan of synty assets, I have always loved the style and own a bunch of their packs. I think you nailed the visual style and feel of a noir detective. The music is spot on as well. I haven't found the killer yet, but I think Hilda would be too on the nose. Also if you use the same dialogue option multiple times it adds multiple copies of the same clues into the documents, but other than that it feels very polished!

Thanks for playing. Yeah we found the multiple data bug, I hope you keep playing and that the ending is satisfying for you.

Thanks! Mex did a fantastic job on the music, I agree :)

I'd advise not to second guess yourself on the killer if the case seems pretty, ahem, Open and Shut, but there _may_ be more to it than that. :D

I thought we'd caught all the multiple document possibilities, but clearly not! Thanks for the report.

the most polished game in jam music, visuals, writing, everything is very good. However, I didn't feel the hacking theme was so present

Thanks for checking out the game.

Thanks for playing! Hacking does actually come into it as a key part of the case later on, glad you enjoyed the rest of it!
