What makes your game a Mystery Game?
The game opens with an audio message sent to your PDA: a cry from help from a kidnapped journalist.
The information contained in it are incomplete and the message is garbled, so it is your job to track down where the call came from and from whom.

How does your game integrate the jam's theme "Last Message"?
When you reach the place where he was taken, it's too late. What you received was the last message of the journalist, who is now lying dead on the floor in a puddle of blood.

Track who killed him and bring him to justice!

Does your game use generative AI? And if so, in what way?
No.

Loved this game! I really like the mechanic of finding out information and that you could check at any time if you were correct. The graphics are AMAZING, really comic-ish, and the game interfaces are comfortable. All in all, I really enjoyed playing it!!
