How does your game fit the theme?
The player is stuck in a time loop where all they keep is their knowledge of the facts they've found in their loops. They must use this knowledge and inference to figure out who is committing the crime and get all the possible endings.

Thanks for sharing on stream! Was fun to try, couldn't figure out much though.
Thank you so much for playing!!! I made it quite a hard story game so I ended up giving hints and making a walkthrough video to hopefully help with that. Turns out making a full story with dialogue in 4 days is pretty hard haha. Thank you so much again and congrats on entering a game yourself!!
I'm fan of the art
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!
Oooo a ground hog day mystery murder game. Very cool and creative. I enjoyed figuring it out. My biggest critique is as a player I felt rushed. I think the timer should pause when talking to people or having the inventory open.
You should keep going and create a full game.
Hii thank you so much for playing the game!!! Unfortunately I didn't get too much time to get others to playtest it otherwise I would've given slightly more time and arranged the map in a better way. I am very grateful for your compliments and criticism thank you and well done on submitting a game yourself!!
Interesting game! There are many people to talk and items to find. I also like an art-style and plot is very good-written.
Thank you so much for playing my game I'm glad you liked exploring!!
I love investigation games, so this one was definitely my cup of tea! I managed to get by without the hints, and I really enjoyed slowly figuring out what happened. I was a bit disappointed that "bad" ending basically spoils everything though. Especially considering that to achieve it, you have to do the very first thing you're told to do, and by that point, you still don't know what you're supposed to do, so that reads like a hint. But it was fun anyway.
I've seen that this is your first game ever: that's impressive, amazing job!
Thank you so much for your feedback!! You're right the ending dialogue unfortunately spoils how to get endings I was at the end of the time for the jam and I was scared people would never figure out to go there. I wanted to do a lot more regarding the looping time and retaining facts but I realised very quickly I'd done more than a 4 day jam would allow so I couldn't polish that element.
Once again thank you so much and good luck in the jam!!
I really liked this game. It was tricky to begin with. I had to read through the hints. Impressive packing so many endings into it. Well done.
Thank you so much for your feedback honestly all these comments make my day whether they find bugs or not. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it and congratulations on your own game!!
It is such a stylish game. I really loved the art. It was a bit hard to understand what was really going on, but the overall concept of the loop was implemented perfectly.
However, I encountered a bug , when I was at the stage, nothing really happened, and I had to restart . But in general, I loved the concept. Keep it up, dude!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I ended up spending way too much time on the art and not enough finalizing the gameplay because I couldn't find any assets around graduation. Yeah I've noticed that bug too it's very annoying but with each bug we learn something new!!!
Thank you again for your words and good luck in the jam!!! I'll take a look at your game as well :)
Yeah dude, just have fun. These game jams are pure gold for learning new things. :D
Good game! It was a bit confusing at first because there are a lot of characters and things to do and I had to look at the hints. But I loved that you made a complete story in such a small period of time. And I got 2 endings. Congrats!
Thank you so much!! Yeah I designed it to be confusing at the beginning and as you learn who to talk to it gets easier but I definitely did too much for my first game jam 😭 Thank you so much for playing and I wish you good luck in the jam!!!!
Hope everyone who plays it likes it!!! I have added information on bugs and hints to the description of the page as well as controls for the game. It's my first game and therefore my first game jam so let me know if it's a good first try!!
