Such a creative take on the theme. Betsy Jones was my favourite character haha :D
I definitely see potential for this game to be expanded into something bigger :)
Ahh man only 1/4 on my first attempt. Love the music, always cool with actual instruments in made-for-jam music. This little detective puzzle thing was constructed really nicely. That's difficult to do well, and you did it well! Good job.
Woah! So much fun! I get 2/4 on my first attempt, but I am getting back right now :D
Amazing game! Reminded me of Orwell, but like in a way more lighthearted execution.
I would love to see your game expanded, it sure deserves it!
Also - really attractive itch page! Everything is moving! 0o0
Incredibly clever and unique direction for a game. Well done!
Got 4 out of 4! Was not 100% sure about the birthdays though :D
I particularly enjoyed how every riddle required you collect several bits of information and was not straightforward. Great take on the theme, and the characters are fun to learn about! Would looove to have more levels :)
Such a fun and creative game! I loved the gameplay of having to go through comments and posts scavenging for gossip. The characters, posts and conversations felt so real as well. The questions were also well-designed with subtle but sensible clues to solve them. Well done!
I see we had very similar ideas!
I like the approach your's took.
Still have no idea who ray is mad at. All I could figure out was it wasn't dion, and that it was probably one of the guys mentioned in his first post
very unordinary idea and catchy gameplay! i got "under the rock" score xD
Love the idea and great execution! Trying to derive what's going on without context was a cool concept
Really awesome concept and fun to play! Nice graphics and great executing overall, and cool take on the theme. Nice!
Very creative idea! I enjoyed looking through the posts and comments, and I was surprised by the nestling of the clues/information within them. I wish there was a way to get back to the main menu after completing the game to try again. Besides that, I found the game quite neat!
This is an excellent use of the theme. Mad props. I think this could be expanded if you had more questions. You'd have to track which ones the player's learned already and remove them from the pool of available questions, but it could for sure work. It was fun trying to figure out what all my friends were up to. 5/5 would recommend.
! SPOILER WARNING !
My only complaint is how do I know if it's Cynthia or Lucy's birthday? It looks like they both had one on the same day.
