Very impressive. I failed to get the real culprit though. Enjoyed the journey.
Thanks a lot :3
I'm kinda proud you didn't manage to find the real one hehe~
Gald you enjoyed it! And thanks for playing our game and taking your time!
Cool murder mystery, but sadly I didn't find the one responsible. Maybe the hints were too obvious and red herrings. Original art and all, great game!
Happy to hear that it's difficult but not impossible~
You can still replay the game and find more hints and maybe the real culprit <3
Impressive, you went all in for a game jam, with a full investigation game! I like the art, I'm glad you take the original hand made route. Nice job!
Yes we crunched! We appreciate your kind words~ Thank you for playing!
Although I'm not into these types of games. It was very interesting concept. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot! And thanks for playing the game even though it isn't your type~
I'm a little lost for words here...
I mean... HOW DARE YOU?
A full on murder mystery detective game?
Gorgous character art?
Stylish UI and beautiful scenery?
Fantastic writing?
Moody soundtrack?
In K-Pop we call this the "Perfect All-Kill"
and I don't know what else to say.
"You should all be ashamed for making the rest of us look bad."
There.
I said it.
Watch your back at the camp fire.
HOW DARE YOU undermine your game like that!
Not but seriously, thank you so much for your kind comment! Really means a lot to us
So now I'm a little lost for words, haha. Except for thank you for taking the time to play our game and writing nice things about it 💛
And don't worry, we'll watch our backs at the camp fire. We know, what else is lurking in the woods. Do you?
Wow, amazing work! Very polished and I loved the art style and overall presentation.
Thank you so much! 💛 Glad you liked it, thanks for playing
This was really fun and I don't usually play visual novel type games (besides ace attorney). The environment and art was top notch, each character had unique personalities, and the story entranced me to finish. This would be super amazing voice acted or with more SFX. Very beautiful game, no notes.
That's so nice to hear, thank you!
Yes! We prepared a few sound effects for the clues and overall atmosphere but decided to add it later, since we wouldn't have been able to add them for everything in time, so it's just the lamps (most importand one anyway). Having it voice acted would feel premium polished *takes notes*
Thanks for playing!
This was such a unique and memorable experience!
Everything feels incredibly clear and fluid, from the investigation mechanics to the way clues are presented and organized. I never felt lost, and the game did a great job of encouraging me to keep exploring and uncovering more pieces of the mystery.
The art direction is absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere created by the visuals, writing, and music comes together wonderfully. Honestly, it made me want to explore every corner of the camp just to see what else I might discover.
I also loved the detective board and clue connection system. It fits the jam theme perfectly and made me feel genuinely involved in the investigation.
You can really tell how much care and effort went into this project. The whole team did an amazing job, and it's one of the most polished and distinctive entries I've played so far.
Congratulations to everyone involved!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game and leave such a lovely comment!
So glad, you had a good time and enjoyed exploring the map and getting to know our characters just as much as we enjoyed creating them 💛
Well made game. played it all the way through the end and found the murderer. nice bgm, and beautiful art style. what might add lil more fun is giving lil sounds to character, like giggle, or nervous laugh, or hmph etc. gg.
You are absolutely right! The game needs little sounds to give it even more character~ it's noted!
Thank you for playing! And congrats! 🎉
Probably my favorite game so far! The art is absolutly gorgeous, the story is compelling and the gameplay is fun. This is a game i would actually play! If you ever make another story of that game i want to know!
Oh my word thank you so much! Such warm words and compliments 🥺
We will let you know~
Thank you for playing!
Not my type of game usually, but loved the visuals and the completeness of it was very amusing in such short time. I was also not very good at connecting the dots but still figured out who it was without actually understanding every single thing going on. It was so fun to play, but also not my cup of tea so won't be playing it more times sadly, so will not be able to learn about everything that happened. Easily the most memorable thing I've played in this jam so far, don't think I am alone either.
wow! You even played till the end AND found the culprit! That's awesome!
Thank you for all the compliments and playing even though it isn't your type of game! We really appreciate it!
nice VN type with crime story nice
Nice, thank you so much :3
Hope you found out who it was :D
That's awesome! I'm such a bad detective that I couldn't make it to the end but still I really enjoyed my time here.
Thanks for playing and trying :3 you gonna get better at it i believe :3
Ooooooooo,
So far this is probably the most complete game I've come across this jam (/O.O)/
A whole flipp'n visual novel detective game, cool art, neat story, and I can record lamps to my hearts content.
I didn't end up completing the game because sleep is important.
I have no feedback to give, good job.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Oh my so much praise! Thank you for all the kind words. The whole team really crunched through the 10 days, so the recognition is appreciated so much. Thank you for playing and reviewing our game! <3
The art, music and gameplay all come together so well! Very impressive how much work went into this in the time that was given for the Jam! Well done!
Thanks a lot! We worked really hard to get all days nearly finished so everyone could experience the whole idea and not just a preview :3
Also thanks for playing and i hope you found the culprit :3
Well done! So much to do on a game made in just a few days, and all of it is very enjoyable.
Ahh thanks a lot! We appreciate that <3
Well done! Fantatic art and music, good writing, I didn't quite like the end of it but overall very good. I had to play it twice. I didn't understand the point of the blacklight :P
Yeah the blacklight is one of the ideas we had but couldn't implement thoughtfully and the ending is even worse xD
Anyway thank you for playing and taking your time! Nice that you found the culprit within the second try~
it made me think, wait a minute maybe i should NOT stop clicking on lamps ahahah it kinda works to a certain level. The ending is not bad, I was about to guess right the first time around but in the end the clues were pointing in another direction, imho, and what I didn't like was the motive, but I loved the game overall, I wish I could come up with something similar. Loved the idea, the music and the art :)
So the blacklight tricked you into filming more lamps? I love it xD
The motive is very very basic, i know. Sometimes they are still reasonable :3
Yes it did!🤣
I'm so proud of you this is an absolute masterpiece!
All hearts to you! <3 <3 <3
Thank you so much love! 🛼💛✨
