I killed them all! Haha, what a funny concept for the game. I wish there were more variety in what the customers and news caster said, and it got kinda repetitive after a while. I would have liked to double-click the cookies after a certain amount of time instead of dragging them. I loved the character art, and I thought the two different pixel resolutions worked well (between characters and the background). Nice job.

How does the game fit the theme?
In Riskcuit, you literally “risk it for the biscuit” by deciding which cookies to poison. Each choice is a gamble—target the wrong villager and your suspicion meter rises, but succeed and you get closer to your deadly goal. Bold moves bring big rewards.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Hello! Thanks for playing our game :D
Really appreciate my artists for putting in so much effort, but are you sure you'll eat the poison cookies?
Anyway, I do agree that the moment the Doctor dies there's no pressure of suspicion at all. That issue probably needs to be looked into :p.
As for Day 6, probably you managed to kill all the villagers except for a handful, whose visit counters are at zero, thus their turn is skipped for one turn!

Thanks for playing! We were aiming to incorporate some biscuit elements into the game for sure - though it turned out many others had the same idea :p
Thanks for reviewing! We wanted a way to convey the results of each day and clue the players in the the context of the game without any sort of explicit instructions, and realised the best way to go about it was to have the newscaster play the role of the "game master" of this social deduction game!
I like the art style. The music is very nice too.
I feel like there could be some simple more clear indication that the purple biscuits are infected or something. I also didn't understand correctly what is the purpose of them because it costs the same to make. Maybe they could be cheaper to incentivize to use them, otherwise I can just make the good ones forever and keep earning revenue, the game seems pretty linear in that regard. The poisining doesn't seem to be that much integrated in the progression of the game. You could probably go bankrupt by only making good biscuits, that way you need to poison some of them.
I don't know if you check the ration between good and poisoned biscuits you give to characters for the suspicion to increase (for example giving 1 posioned biscuit and 1 good biscuit is worse than giving 1 poisoned biscuit and 2 good biscuits), but would be nice to see.
The game could be more polished though. But the on my second day, something happened and now there are always 2 characters rogether and when I sell, I only sell to one and the other leaves without any biscuits. There is also someone already waiting as I bake the biscuits...
