I LOVE paranormal themes, the project looks very interesting! It has the potential to become something bigger! The art is minimalist, but it looks amazing!
This games probley needs a toutrial but after understanding what each part does. It is a realy intersting dectives games.
Gorgeous work! I love investigating the paranormal and I love the look of it all! I didn't realise the first thing I should do was hit the pin and instead drank some beer haha! Wasted a morning but I solved it! Really cool work :)
This was really cool. I love that the evidence, testimony, and observation are all their own little mini-games. The pixel art and animations are great, especially during the observation part when the paranormal stuff happened. And the Mothman's eyes popping with that color choice was perfect.
The testimony back-and-fort was engaging too, I even went back just to see the other dialogue options. The art direction and feel are on point, and it genuinely made me feel like an investigator for a minute. I'd 100% play a longer version of this.
Super efficient ! Art is super cohesive ! And every little bribes of gameplay investigating is cool (i love the things when you have to change the visual focus !) Congrats for that, really !
Feel free to test our game !
Amazing game and a cool concept! Simple yet stylish.
Initially I thought, that maybe it was a joke and actually there were no cryptids, but in the end I was left wanting for other supernatural cases. Thanks!
Very nice. I love the visuals.
I felt like a real detective. Cool concept, and well executed.
And "Brackeyng news" was a good one! :D
I really liked the artistic style, and I also found the concept very interesting!
Very good artstyle and theme!
Really liked the investigation, the art is beautiful! great game
Wow this was super cool, I loved the theme of this I liked feeling like I was a detective. this is a very cool game. Good work!
I love the art style and I wish you had more time for more content because I love games like this. Maybe even make it a bit harder to solve^^ but it's a great and fun idea
Fun mystery, the art style is great. The distortion effect on the binoculars was especially cool and the game kept surprising me each unique menu. The mystery felt a little too obvious with the bestiary (too descriptive) but until that point it was intriguing.
Love the look of the game and love a good mystery. You all nailed it!
Wow, I’m really impressed by the work you put in. I really like the art directionthere are several gameplay phases, and for a point-and-click that’s really appreciable, especially in a game jam… Honestly, just well done!
I liked this game! Thank you!
Absolutely loved it! Really nice, simple, and tight concept well executed. Would love to see a longe version of it being developed.
