The game has potential, But I got softlock twice on different places, first when fishing, and a second time I stayed the night on the cave, and the game couldn’t respawn me at all.. :/
On the good notes, I really felt like a detective, and the progressions felt natural. having multiples music for different occasions was a nice touch, and they were well chosen.
The game is super ambitious, and I appreciated the time related event! GG to all the team 🫡
The softlock issue has been resolved but sadly it cannot be updated since the jam is in voting phase. We will update it as soon as the jam ends.
Thank you for your feedback. This means alot to us 🤍🤍🙌🙌
Cool game! I wish there was a map or direction signs to make it easier to find everything since I got lost a few times and probably missed some important places. I still had a fun time exploring, finding clues, fishing fish, and talking to characters.
Thank you for the feedback. I hope that we'll take your suggestions to our team. We hope to get these into the future updates as possible as we can to make the game bit easier for the navigating the directions on the island as we can.
Nice game, good narrative and audio
screen is a bit small for my liking but everything else is great!
Thank you so much for your input and for trying out our game!
We will take your advice into mind for future projects. 🤍

Love the art!! love the cast (fisherman x mc/detective ship name = sunfish)! ADORE THE MUSIC! This game has a lot going for it! a lot of people have already given great points on how to improve the overall experience. While it is fairly difficult to figure out how your supposed to gather evidence, i think the minigame and the systems in place are very fun! I think the only thing holding this game back is the time limit yall were given, the large map could stay if there was more content in it and maybe you could give the player a map with waypoints so they know where to go, and then its just a matter of building on the impressive systems you already have to make it easier for the player to play and harder for them to deduct! anyway, GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
Thank you for your feedback! This means alot to us.
Wish you luck for your game, will try it for sure☘☘.
Lots of love from GhostSoft Studios.🙌🙌
I liked the drawing from cutscenes and the overall art style of the game. As others on discord server mentioned, the map seems a little too big for a game like this.
I also found a bug where if you press E on the letter inside Ron's house you would get stuck because pressing E again closes current note and opens it again. I managed to get out of that by spamming movement keys while pressing E so i can get away from the note.
I've found a lot of similarities with my game and I'm glad someone else had a similar idea but with a different base theme. It looks like our games could be episode 1 and episode 2 of a games series, if both of them were 3d or 2d.
Nice game!
Thanks for your feedback & I hope you enjoyed your play through!
The zoomed in issue & the map have been noted!
I’ll take a look at your game when I get the chance!
Lots of love from the team at Ghostsoft Studios 🤍🤍

Very nice game, bit difficult for me, looking forward to that tutorial video for a next try (did not find the murderer)
Alright, will comment again here, once it is up!
Hey, The tutorial video is out. Check it out from our channel link attached to our page. 🤍🤍
Awesome, your tut video helped me, i did find the killer this time :)
That's great to hear!
I really liked this game!
Very interesting concept. The art is great, and the game is fairly polished. The minigame is fair, and every character had unique dialogue that's pretty well written. It's unfortunate but got kind of stuck because I couldn't enter the cave, the path is kind of blocked of for some reason T.T
Nah, you can quite wal around it. It's just a small issue in web build only. Do try the game again and see if you can find the killer, and play the final battle(no one did)
Interesting idea, but that's it. The challenge is not to find a culprit (that's super easy) but to try overcome all bugs and grammar/spelling mistakes.
how can you find the killer really easy? did you beat the game? and few bugs like music & walking below house roofs are just there, and what other bugs are even there? (grammer mistakes are just in bartender dialogues as his drunk)
Yes, I finished the game, shot the lady and that's it.
I got stuck when exiting the cave. Good idea for a game! I think I would have enjoyed it more if the map was smaller since a lot of time is spent walking. When interacting with items it was also a bit finicky trying to close out of the pop up.
Wrong file was showing, it was playing the old one(draft one) now i hid that one and now it's showing the actual one. Sorry mb
I'm impressed by the ambition wow! I love murder mysteries, and I love the idea of the killers changing between rounds. The coding must have been really hard to put this all together.
There were a few bugs I faced. Sometimes I'd inspect an item and get stuck, and the fishing was REALLY hard... I got like 5 or 6 and just ended it, or tried to, and I got stuck on the game.
I love the clues systems... A bloody boot in the houses, but lots of clues pointing that it was planted. A lover motive, and faking deaths? Twins? I love it, classic mystery red herrings...
I think I'd try it again sometime, I was not able to get to the end this time.
once u inspected it, just press E again, so that you won't . and the fishing is hard. thought to make this a really hard murder mystery ngl, that was the goal
I like the idea, the dialogue choices, the art, and the fact that you can visit every house. The music is great too!
A few bugs I ran into: the music doesn't loop, I can walk onto the roofs of some buildings, when I failed and retried, the game started me on day 2 instead of from the beginning.
Fishing is haaard, but great job on the minigame mechanics! I managed to catch the fishes for the quest and got the clue. I also found a path, but I couldn't walk through it, so I wasn't sure if that was intentional. I waited 3 days and played 2 times to try again but I didn't find the cave unfortunately...
Oh, it's one the south eastern side, looks like the game was pretty tuff, but yeah if anyone else doesn't find the cave it's the southeastern point of the island
