Excellent game, reminded me of classic LucasArts adventures! I’d really love to see a settings menu and a save/load system added

It'll be there in the post-jam version!

Thank you for playing

The story felt really fleshed out. Honestly, it was so big it probably needed save points lol. I was impressed by the scope. It's a shame there isn't a full ending yet, but at least the core foundation is absolutely there. The character portraits were drawn well and I love the shifting mansion murder mystery premise. 

One small issue: the sound completely cut out for me at some point. Not sure if that's just on my end, but figured I'd mention it in case other experienced it too.

Nice work though; good writing, great art, and an ambitious narrative for a jam.

Thank you! Yeah saves is the kind of thing I wanted to do but didn't get around to. The music issue is really annoying and noticeable, sorry about that.

All those issues are being addressed and a version with that and the ending will be updated when the voting period ends if you want to check that out!

Thanks again for playing

Oh, what a charming detective story! I liked the art a lot, each character had a lot of personality both visually and as a character. Kind of shame that ending is unavailable, but still that's a lot of work done in such a short time, impressive! Nice submission, good job!

Developer

Thank you so much! Currently working on the ending, it'll be available as soon as the jam ends if you're interested!

Amazing story. Progressed all the way through until… ok, no spoilers here, until some place with 10 hints at least, I believe. I didn’t count, though. Captivating story. I wish there were a save game button: super cool art and super-strange place. The art is really great and the amount of content is impressive.

Thank you! A lot of what we wanted to do didn't get to be in the current version, but as we speak I'm working on finishing it and a save button is definitely one of the things I'll be adding! And also probably a way to fast-forward, for people who don't want to replay the entire thing at a slow pace but want to know the ending.

Excellent character design throughout. I also avoided clicking on hints for a long time thinking it was spoilers. Similar issue with the music stopping after maybe 5 minutes or so.

Yeah I think it's a translation thing, in french the words for clues and hints are the same so we didn't catch that. We're renaming it to Evidence in the post-jam update!

And fixing that music bug (and many others), I think I know what causes it.

Thank you for playing!
