I enjoyed running around and collecting clues. There were a lot of characters introduced in a short span of time, so I had a little trouble keeping them straight, but I got the right guy in the end!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
It was so fun :3 I enjoy the story and every interactions with the characters in the game. I have accused the wrong person xD but i got it in the end ;3 Love the game ^^ Keep it up Flav
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This was enjoyable! I like the concept of solving a murder before the train arrives and I think that fits pretty well with the jam's theme.
I will say it's a bit awkward to have Sonny's character still follow you around for the entire game even when you're supposed to be split up, but that didn't affect my actual enjoyment of the game and I assume it was due to time constraints.
I really liked the mechanic of collecting and comparing evidence. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff and I was able to get the True ending first time which felt pretty satisfying.
My only 'criticism' is that it was pretty short, but I imagine that's also due to the time constraints and means that I was enjoying it enough to want more, so overall great job!
Thank you for making it.
Thank you so much for playing and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I almost decided to not to submit anything so it means a lot!
Yeah the Sonny follow bug funnily enough only shows up on some PCs. I had specially told RPG Maker to remove Sonny from the party but on those PCs it refuses to listen to me. I may have to change the core version or disable followers completely. But it is quite a funny bug.
I'm really glad to hear you liked the mechanic and yes I had planned for it to be much longer but it was due to the time constraints.
You're most welcome!
I get you, I almost didn't upload myself, and my game is full of missing assets and a million typos and errors. At the end of the day though I'm proud I managed to get something made at all and you should feel the same!
Ah I see, it's weird that he just stays around randomly. But yeah it is pretty funny that Sonny basically helped me prove his own innocence.
I can relate to the time restraint too; there were tons of mechanics I wanted to implement for my game but just didn't have time.
Good job overall and good luck on your future projects!
That's amazing, I'm glad you to hear also managed to upload too despite all the struggles.
Yeah you are right, I do feel quite happy I did make this in the end.
Yeah the bug is so strange, it may be the engine itself, hopefully I can fix it after the voting period.
Thank you so much! I wish the same for you and your future projects!
I'll give your game a try when I get a chance and see what I think
Thanks for trying out mine!
