Although I'm not into these types of games. It was very interesting concept. Keep up the good work.

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.

World of Warlords OnlineThis 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.

WordWeaverThat'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!

EntwineNot 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.

The Blob GameOoooooooo,
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.

Hook & Delivery .coWell done! So much to do on a game made in just a few days, and all of it is very enjoyable.
Submitted
ConnectionsWell 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

Bound to be Freeit 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 :)
I'm blown away by what you were able to achieve in 10 days! Everything is so polished and cohesive. I love the art style and melancholic music, it has such an awesome atmosphere. The red strings mechanic was such a clever use of the theme, I felt like a real detective. I have a poor memory, so I really appreciate that you let us step back in conversations and write our own notes in the journal. I didn't encounter any bugs or issues. Amazing job!
