Congrats on getting the fifth overall spot! I still remember the funny Herman fight!
Thank you! We're very happy with the results. :)
This was fun and very original.
edit: I spent more time trying to discover a few more endings, and it hit the mark with its humor and mechanics. Turning investigation into a JRPG-like combat led to funny moments, like punching/breaking the coffee machine. I also think the JRPG-like mechanics could also suit serious dialogue and investigation scenes. Well done... I really enjoyed this. : ))
Thank you! Really happy that we made it to hit the right spots in terms of humor, gameplay and the overall mood. If you're interested in this kind of battle system, I recommend playing Look Outside or, if you're ok with 18+ VERY dark themes, Fear&Hunger (their battle system was our reference). Their battles work in a similar way, the battle is usually a puzzle you have to solve to win the enemy.
I had a great time playing this.The art and sound design are amazing.I also enjoyed the funny interactions meditating with the coffee machine.Great entry!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. :)
I love the Hotline Miami vibes. I had never meditated in front of a coffee machine before — 10/10.
Thank you! You should try it IRL, a great experience (at least for me)! :)
OOOmmmmmMMMmmm
10/10
Amen!
First I thought "oh no, a detective". Usually not a big fan, but the fight mechanics and details were hilarious. What a fun little story. I wonder how it would continue or what other mysteries there are to solve, mostly to find out how the 'fights' would go!
Thank you! The core gameplay idea was to basically make Fear&Hunger/Look Outside battle system suitable for a silly detective plot, so I hope we managed to do so. :)
Just one thing, my friend, I played the whole time with a huge smile on my face! Especially when it comes to writing the log on the computer and fighting with Herman! Great job!
Thank you! That was the plan, glad you liked it! :)
Loved the artstyle, and the idea was really fun (and the music went hard too :3)
Thanks a lot! Love your profile picture, Tomoko is the best :)
The art style, BGM, and visual effects are absolutely fantastic—I love them!
I initially expected a grittier film noir vibe, but the retro humor turned out to be a delightful surprise. What a brilliant concept!
Hey! Thank you so much for a feedback, appreciate it! :)
That was a pretty original detective tale :) - at the end the end game notification popped up before I could read my report? not sure if that was intentional if it is it was clever and annoying you should let players beat up the pop up :)
Yey, thank you for a feedback!
I fixed this bug with a popup!
I really liked the game. Your cover image is really nice. All the music and art was really good.
Thou're FOOL MY HANDS ARE INVINCIBLE. The herman fight was great.
Sadly doesn't fit the theme but still the game was nice and simple. Great game!
Haha, thank you! Actually only the true end fits the theme, but unfortunately that's not obvious for players so it may seem a bit of a stretch, yeah.
Cool game and art man!
Heey! Thank you so much!
