interesting combo of The Return of the Obra Dinn and the inevitability of crab. Nice clues.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked the clues, they were a bit difficult :D
The visuals and ambient audio are stunning. It's got a nice story there as well, just when it came to identifying crabs, I was a bit confused.
Thank you very much! And a lot of people were confused in the comments, I should have explained better ^^ Thanks a lot for your feedback :D
Visual and audio 10 /10 and great job you done but for the gameplay I'm just confuse
Haha I made a poor job at explaining/making an understandable interface, you're not the only one ;) Aycorn made a small video in the comments below if you want to see what it can look like :)
Thank you very much for taking the time to play and for your feedback!
Confused, it seems that when I choose crab L it tells me I chose crab J...
When I chose J it tell me I chose C.. etc
Yes, it is not very clear and you are not the only one, sorry about that :P
In fact, you have to assign a portrait to EVERY crab before clicking on "Check".
"Check" will check all the crabs, not just the one selected.
If I update the game after the jam, I will try to fix that ^^'
Thanks a lot for giving it a try anyway! :D
OH!!!! Thank you for the explanation!! I might try it again later ^^
Edit: I tried it!! Some I couldn't figure out without the solutions but I did it!!
Thanks a lot for your time and feedback!! :D
TO BE CONTINUED!?
Did a recording of my gameplay but ran out of time to record from start to finish! A crab mystery by noamoa | Cap Recording
I had such a blast playing this! Such a fun concept, amazing work 😄 I love a good deduction puzzle, some very clever clues on how all the 'crabs' were linked together - my 'aha' moment was linking the last names, which I didn't think to do until I got a clue to do so!
I also really liked the introduction with the chief, having all the dialogue options available to keep probing why they are sick 😆
Thanks a lot for taking the time to play and record! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Awesome visuals, and what a lot of work in such a short time. Great job.
Thank you for playing! But for your rating, be aware I made it in 7 hours, not 3 ;)
Whoa, this game was insanely fun! Loved the visuals as well 🙂
Thanks a lot for playing!
Wow, congrats on the amount of work, especially on the visuals which look really cool !
Thank you very much! :D
Very interesting concept! Visuals also fit really well into the detective setting. Music was nice too I found the seagull SFX to be very annoying tough. Overall great job!
Haha sorry about the seagulls :P Thank you very much for playing and for your feedback!
I love the overall setup!
Thanks a lot for playing!
This is a cool idea for the jams theme.
Looks really cool (Just wish the colors were inverted)
Takes a minute to get going and I had to use the cheat sheet below in description. I found it hard due to the bright screen BUT that is NOT a game issue at all just a me issue.
Very cool game with a nice dialogue system. Loved the constant questions about the Chiefs health hehe
I did find a bug tho on crab H it tells me its wrong but I put April SAUER?
Awesome game tho great work 💚
Oops yep this is a bug! A last minute change and I might have inverted the names haha
Thanks a lot for playing it and taking the time! I'm so sorry about the bright screen, probably not accessible nor comfortable at all ^^' Inverting the colors is a good idea for a quick fix, thanks !
Happy to play and rate.
The bright screen is mostly my issue as I have bad eyes BUT always nice to get an option for dark mode.
