Wow amazing concept, very unique and the artwork was great! Maybe I'm not very good at these kind of games cause I didn't understand, I guess one of them was drunk, because of the weird movement? Would have liked more clues or maybe I'm just bad at these. Overall great work!
The animation was excellent. So much was conveyed with so little artwork. It's a nice interpretation of the jam theme. The video was great. As a little touch, it could have been more grainy, but that's very minor. I'm not sure the final music fits the game, just my opinion.
I got a little confused at the beginning, due to matching the hair from the photos. So, I'm not sure that it was necessary to add the last 2 images of the perpetrators.
Thank you for playing! I feel I was able to inject some character and perhaps even some humor into the animation, so I'm happy to hear you thought so too. I admit I wasn't exactly sure how to execute the ending, but I figured since the game's atmosphere is somewhat tense, I thought it'd be funny to break the tension with a light-hearted disco track (perhaps some confetti would help to better communicate this idea.)
Detective games are my jam! The art style and sound design are on point! The animation effectively conveyed how the criminals felt without any dialogue. Impressive!
Thank you! I'm glad you think so!
This art is beautiful, and I love the idea of checking cameras for clues. Well done honestly!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed solving the mystery!
I enjoyed the concept and that it wasn't super straightforward!
I'm glad to hear that! I hope you enjoyed figuring it out!
very cool concept, love the vibe
I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere!
love the nod to ace attorney! nice font size and concise info, not too much or too little to read
I'm glad you think so! I tried to keep those in mind, so I'm happy to hear it paid off!
I really like the concept but even after guessing the correct suspects I could not understand why they were the ones! The clues must be very subtle, I couldn't spot it. Would play more like this though.
Thank you for playing! I'm sorry you feel that way, but I appreciate your honest feedback!
Really cool concept, pretty fun trying to figure out. Great job!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
