cute game... I made a similar one too, if you want go play it and give me a little rating too, it would help me
The game has potential to be expanded upon much more, and I feel it is a good proof of concept. It would be nice to have some options to respond with the dialogue, and potentially things to look at for more context about the crime as well, either as part of the collected evidence, reports or if we get to look at the crime scene ourselves. With more interactivity and time, I think this could be a really strong piece.
This demo is a strong start the story is intriguing and sets up a mystery that immediately makes you want to know more. The true top-down perspective is a nice surprise, and the concept has a lot of potential if expanded further.
At the same time, it’s clearly very short, and the limited dialogue makes it hard to fully judge the experience. More polished writing and additional art would help bring the world to life and make the characters feel more engaging. Still, even in this early state, it shows promise and leaves me curious about where the story could go.
Overall, it’s a good foundation with plenty of room to grow. And since we’re all sharing jam projects, I’d love if you also tried the game I submitted it might give you another take on exploring unusual ideas.
Cool demo! I hope you take this game further, the story is looking cool. Well done dude, be proud :)
Nothing to say here, I think it’s a really great story to play through, and there’s definitely room to expand on it if you decide to develop it further. The dialogue in particular can be improved, but it felt engaging , which made the experience more enjoyable.
it is short demo so there is nothing i can say much, but it is nice to see you at jam. With a good writing and more art i could be a nice work.
Nice to see a crime and investigation game :)
When I hear top-down perspective I tend to expect the perspective where you see the top and front of objects, so the true top-down perspective was a good surprise! And the story is certainly intriguing, I love a good mystery :) You'll do great things with this concept!!

Too bad there's only one dialog, hard to rate the game as it is far from completion.
Curious to know who did it though :)
Congrats on completing your game!
Good start, I was ready to start figuring out who this Clyde fella is! Hopefully you get some time to finish after the jam because now I'm curious about the story :)
