Great concept and execution! I didn't have any trouble deducing the answers, and when I did it revealed a very satisfying story. Would be very cool to see an expanded game or sequel with more chat logs to look through.

For the most part it was fun and engaging, but having to make a million clicks when you restart is rather annoying: I guess it would be nice to at least turn drop-down menus into regular lists of options

also I'm glad Kate got arrested lol

Oh dear, we forgot to modify that part for Kate >< 

Thanks for playing, lex4nder!

It was really overwhelming at first, but when I figured out there were only 4 people that's relevant, it became a lot easier and really fun to figure out! It was a bit annoying when I had to restart when I got it wrong at the end, but alas.

Thank you so much for playing, Makaira!
