Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.
How does your game fit the theme?
You roll up on a new town, as a newly qualified detective, with no idea what you're supposed to be doing! You have no leads, no clues, and no equipment...
The best option is to JUST GET STARTED!

I really enjoy this style of game! I think with some more updates (animations, UI etc.) you would have a really good base to build on for doing more games in this style. Really enjoyed the discovery aspect here, nice job!
I love the dialogues in this little mystery. Good job!
I love a good whodunit. At first I thought it might end in the Orient Express way, but nope. Good writing and good pacing. Short and tight experience. Also, multiple songs on the soundtrack?
This game is super cute! A short and quick little adventure — really fun, and the music is absolutely charming. Case closed!
Oh it's a jam tart!! I just got it :0
I tried playing the game twice but I couldn't figure out who the culprit is, I think I probably missed something?
Overall it was a fun game, nice job!
Nice puzzle game, could use some more animations, sounds and better collision (I could walk through the locked door) but still a great game!
Nice puzzle game!
Missed the sound options, but really loved the art.
Keep making games!
Good game! nice tiny funny puzzle 10/10 Case Closed!
interesting game, I did a kinda softlocked thing (accused mayor w/ diary entry) genuinely don't know if it was intentional or not
Ah that's really unfortunate, and definitely not intentional! It's always when you submit that the bugs come crawling out, but thanks for finding something I can fix, and taking the time to play
It felt fitting and wasn't off putting (it was also after I already done the other options)
Cute art style and the game was fun to play and engaging. Nice job.
I can't take much credit for the art style, except for the detective + chef whiskers (thank kenney!) - but I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
This was super fun to play!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for giving it a go!
That mayor was sus
HAHA ! This game has so many fun little details, I’m really impress by the unique interactions between every dialogue. I didnt know talking to the mayor made me not a stranger, I should try irl too.
Good work ! Charming town (expect maybe for the crab) !
100% try talking to the mayor of your local town - you won't be a stranger anymore and can talk to anyone!*
Thank you so much for your feedback though!
*this may not actually work
That was so much fun!
Thank you so much!
