Nice idea! It was fun to hunt down the killer of my friend by comparing the masks to the hints. The controls also worked very well. Making the rooms a bit more unique would have been nice because orienting was a bit troublesome. Overall, I liked the aesthetics of the game. Great job!

Good idea and execution. I would have liked if the rooms looked a bit different. Sometimes I wasn't sure if I had been in a room before or not.

Great idea! like a whodunnit but with masks, I liked it, well implemented theme, fun to play, good job!

Oh and did you make the music yourself? because I think I can hear the keys being pressed. If so, cool music! I wish I can make something like that for my games.

Developer

Thanks, glad you’ve enjoyed the game. We did not make the music ourselves, the track is from free music archive. Making music is something completely unknown to our team

As others have said, took a minute to figure out what was actually going on. Even after reading how to play. Nice idea!

Thanks for creating and sharing!

Fun idea! I really like what you achieved here, I couldn't seem to find any green hints so maybe I missed a part of the map, is it random which one is the killer each time? Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Each level has one green hint in the starting room (the one with the corpse for 1st level and the spawn for the 2nd). All the other hints are red. The killer and masks are generated differently every run

I like solving puzzles by deduction and managed to beat each levels  in under 2 mins.
It took me a while to understand what to look for but then i realized its a detective game kinda.

They idea is very interesting and fun in my opinion and for 9 days very well executed considering that 3d is not an easy task. Some npcs were blocking each other and took a while to unstuck and if there was a mouse sensitivity setting i didnt find it so turning was very fast for me.

Other than that great game :D. this was my score for the second level if you are curious.

Developer

Thank you lots for trying our game out and sticking with it for a good run. Under 2 mins is a great time

Setting for mouse sensitivity isn’t there and the issue was overlooked, unfortunately. It is even faster the bigger the game window, so camera movement should be crazy on high res monitors in fullscreen

yupp its 4k fullscreen, it was really fast :D

Loved this entry! While it was a little confusing to understand at first, combining and gathering disparate information from different people created a fun feeling of investigation and conspiracy.  Perhaps some more sound fx could have added a lot like whispering to other cult members to find out what they know. The dungeon and masks were great visually too. Really memorable great work!
