Good work, I like that it's different clues/locations every time. Even when I had both clues I still found it really hard to identify the correct suspect, the clues felt like they overlapped with more than 1 suspect. Maybe that could be fixed through expansion, slightly longer time in the level and 3-4 clues collected so that if you manage to collect all the clues your pretty much guaranteed to get the right answer but still might be able to correctly guess the answer with less clues. Also really missing the looping feature for the game so that when you either die or guess a suspect you return to the start screen to try again.

That was exactly the idea, but we didn’t manage to make the final content fit that mechanic very much due to limited time. Definitely something to improve on is better/more readable clues and suspect traits. Thanks for playing!

This was super cool!! I particularly loved the visuals - the 2D fire was such an early 2000's throwback. Also I liked the apartment setting cause I did the same thing for my game :) /jam/brackeys-15/rate/4309361

Rather short, i wish there was a start button, and not get hit with clock ticking right away… There is some potential in this game, good work

Clever and fun ! I like the PSX design (especially character ahah, feels very max payne like)

Feel free to test our game ! (it's also about guessing stuff )

This game is really confusing to me at first because there was a 1 minute timer to find clues and I just left the burning home immediately just to see what would happen. Instead, I had to pick a potential suspect without even having to gather clues first. 

Your team could have definitely added a way for the player not to leave until they have found enough clues to find the suspect.

I decided to give this game a second try to actually look for clues and this is where I was even more confused because I had found a bunch of clues in 1 minute but I didn't think that after that minute was up, my player would pass out and the game just closes.

Thanks for your feedback. This was our most finished game as of yet, but one of our first games ever and also quite a bit unfinished. Given more time, we would probably have added some more tutorial elements, and improved the discoverability of these mechanics. Probably also needs a restart screen instead of just closing the game :D Thanks for playing anyway!

SFX are great, the visuals are also consistent.

The game could use some initial introduction and option to restart

Developer

Agreed, those would probably have been our next to-dos. Thanks for playing!
