I really loved the idea but didnt have it in me at the moment to solve the whole thing. I like that you highlighted photo day to help get that first bit of info for the player.

The mystery kept me curious the whole way through, and I really liked experiencing it from the detective’s perspective. The artwork was lovely, the scope felt just right for the jam, and the calmer take on the theme was a nice change of pace.

The mystery pulled me in from the start, and the detective's perspective made every clue feel engaging until the very end!!

Interesting concept! It reminded me of Return of the Obra Dinn

Really cool mystery.

Awesome job! Really lovely artwork and a well scoped project for the jam. I enjoyed "happyrocketsguy" as a pun! Nice work.

This is really good! I’ll definitely come back to this one on the weekend. Also really good take on the theme. This theme ended up with a lot of games taking it too literal (including mine) or some are just time constrained. I like it! And it was nice to not play something anxiety inducing after testing all the other games with clocks ticking. Good job!

I love a Golden Idol type game! I was so invested in the tom foolery and investigation. I needed to know everyone's emails and positions before I would let myself complete the game. Five stars!

Only Jam game I've spent over an hour on. Probably including my own.

Love the mystery and the way it's told. The narrative is on point and for a while I got totally immersed in the job of the detective. Fantastically done!

I think I just spent an hour on this. Great character portraits and UI, very stylish! 
Although I wish the e-mails timeline on top stayed in one place, because I had to scroll up every time to change to a different e-mail.
I played it to the end and I liked it a lot! Good luck.

I'm a huge fan of deduction games so it is a nice surprise to see an entry in that genre! The art is really clean and interactions are pretty smooth. I was quite interested in the story behind the crash. Overall this game is really ambitious for such a short amount of time, so great work!

I was drawn in by the portraits of the different characters. I suck at deduction games, so I can't comment on the actual mystery. Great job though!

I'm super impressed by how thorough a mystery you made (especially considering you only had four days). The art is really cute and the game feels super smooth. This is a game I'll be sharing with friends, great work!!

Really cool idea. I like the art style as well. I spent an hour trying to solve it. even got out a pen and paper XD. Got 12/18. but I enjoyed it. Making detective games is really tricky.
Keep up the great work!!!

I tired again. Wrote down a table. Got a friend to play with and we FINISHED it. Cool game!

Whoa! Thank you so much for playing and giving it another go!!

I'm astounded by the art and the solid narrative. You've delivered a banger in 4 days and I can see this easily being a full-fledged game with a bit more polish and progression thrown in. Fantastic job!

Cool idea and an interesting story (it is surprisingly sad). Very well polished and just a good looking and feeling game, very impressive for such a short time! These types of games are not usually my cup of tea, but I enjoyed this one enough to see it through to the end (even though at some points I did rely a bit on guessing). I also feel that the connection to the theme is not the strongest. I suppose that you could consider the emails a "countdown" to launch, and that the very nature of rockets involve a countdown, but there is no direct countdown of any kind in this game. Regardless, it is a cool mystery and idea that is definitely worth a play!
