that's so cool! like the flow of time. couple things were strange like I can find poison 10 times, but I liked the idea a lot! also, cool dialogues with constantly breaking 4th wall

It's really excellent, I love the recursive nature and now I just wish it was finished a bit more.

Artstyle and color is great. Really liked the dialogue and the different characters. Great job on this!

The game looks great & the character dialogue was entertaining.

A bug I noticed is that spamming Interact on NPCs causes the game to softlock on their dialogue screen.

The narrative leads well, and the graphic design is amazing; it tells the story more clearly and has its vibe. However, the character movement is somewhat confusing to me when I engage in conversations with NPCs. It is very good for making this game this far by one person, nice work.

I loved the colors and the way we only hear the sound of the train… it gives off a very investigative, noir vibe. Great job!

This would be an amazing full game ! Please consider, the dialog is very funny and the the concept is super promissing. i love detective games :)

I liked the art, but I found it difficult to find items or clues, and therefore, I lost interest at one point.

Great way to implement the time loop. Also, love the use of the limited colour palette.
