I like the visual. The dialogues were pretty funny, in an absurd kinda way. The gameplay is interesting, I guessed right the first time, with some more polish and maybe clearer clues it could be a really fun game.

Found the dialogue lines really funny, took me a couple rounds to figure out what was going on but then I got the hang of it. I like the concept but could maybe have a bit more polish, like having menus instead of different buttons for each action
I got 500 points on my third play, though I still don't know how exactly. The music stuttering was a bit offputting, I interpret it as being a record skipping but it was driving me a little batty by the end. Graphically the dithering felt a little underwhelming just due to the scene being so static. It's a neat concept but could use a round of polish on some of the rougher edges.
I didn't uderstand at first what next round meant, until I noticed that people were dying when I was pressing it lol. I did get the killer immediately after that, got 200 points. The presentation confused me at first, I thought that I can walk to the suspects and not just look at them. Music seemed a bit annoying.
I've got 400 points. Got the killer after one turn.
The premise has potential, but the game, especially the controls need a lot of work. ( I would suggest to either lean into the first person view and let the player walk around, or going menu style where you have a selection cursor over every guest and can switch between them by pressing a button)
At the start I was trying to move forward by pressing w and just skipped all days and was immediately greeted with a game over x)
I think the most urgent thing is the music not looping properly, this made playing the game somewhat grating.
I quite liked the visual style but I was having a hard time figuring out who to accuse!
