ahahahaha that's a "dialogic" good use right there!
The art style goes crazy hard, and the whole story feels super well connected!
Loved it!!
Congrats for such a brilliant game!
Amazingly polished game and the humour is great! I haven't finished the game yet,. I'm not sure how to accuse someone, my guess is that it does it automatically once I have the right clues. Just leaving a comment now, since the rating is almost over and I don't want to accidentally forget to rate the game.
Amazing job, well done!
Amazing art. I checked your other games as well and I'm speechless with the talent. Congrats
Thank you so much, hearing this means a lot! I hope i can bring a smile to the face of players, that's my end goal haha :] ❤️
What a cool lil who dunnit game made in such a short time :0, the art looks great and the story as well as the writing is pretty dang good. A great experience overall :D
Wow the art is amazing for something made in 4 days! I enjoyed the story a lot :D
This is amazing!
OMGG your game is so nice, I really like the cutscene at the beginning, it helps me understand your game concept. The arts, sfx and the music are insane, it's really well-polished, which surprised me a lot. The animation and the background look so cool, the narrative is also interesting. What a great game for this game jam <3
Thank you i'm glad you liked it! :D ❤️
Nice game! Would have loved more murders to go through. It was a little confusing on how to submit the theory... It just automatically went through when I got it right (I didn't get it right I was just trying to submit it and kept swapping things out haha). Very cool game though!
I like the setting— Every few hours, another resident dies. This remainds me the novel And Then There Were None by Agatha!
I love that book, maybe that’s where the subconscious inspiration came from! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Super impressive game to build in such a short amount of time. The art is very cute and skillfully made. The mechanics work really well! Managed to guess the murderer in the first day so I never got to see the countdown progress :D
So many nice words, thank you so much, i'm glad you liked it! :) ❤️
Really amazing game!
It really remind me of my last year submission to the GMTK jam.
I also made a detective game but yours is clearly levels ahead, really inspiring to see!
The game was really nice, art / atmosphere is amazing.
Well done! :D
i loved that this is a mystery game. it is one of my favorite games yet. i didnt quite understand that the theme is in here so maybe you cold have added a timer so you have like 1 minute to talk to the gardner and the other people. i also have a question: are there different solutions?
PS, can you rate my game too, and leave some feedback, since this is my sisters first game jam
Very cool little mystery game. It was a bit small, but not necessarily a bad thing since it makes the playthrough time relatively short. I love how unique this game is compared to the rest. It really stands out amongst the crowds as being much more suspenseful and intriguing. Overall, very nice job :)
So cool, this is a right proper point and click adventure game. The mystery itself is a little straightforward but that's probably for the best in a jam game. The different systems and modes work together well and I really like the corkboard string physics just kinda bouncing around.
One thing I think you can work on is screen-space economy, because right now you can pile up multiple windows one on top of another and the game looks pretty cluttered in that state. It might be best to hide some windows when others are open to not overwhelm the screen with lots of different things at once.
I love how you can have a mid-investigation snack, but is our partner going to face any consequences for having a, erm... pre-investigation snack? It feels pretty clear what they did, and I think it's interesting that you can't include it in your accusation.
I haven't played a murder mystery game in a long time, but now I want to play another one. This was a fun and intriguing game to play. I also love your humor for the goblin. Great work :)
Very nice game, loved it a lot! I managed to solve the murder rather quickly and I don't think I saw anyone else get murdered. Great job!
I loved the art style on this one, and I'm a sucker for detective games! I way overthought the plot and was convinced that the senior detective was the killer. I just didn't really get the countdown thing, I thought there would be 8 murders or 8 cases, but when I solved the first one, the game ended. Don't know if it's a bug.
This was quite fun. Enjoyed it. Liked the art and story. Nice work!
Oh, I really enjoyed how you managed to create this detective mood!
The intro was absolutely peak and really funny, the characters are wonderfully written and the audio and art are just incredible! It was a bit sad that the the moody soundtrack stopped playing after a while. :( Crumb's animation was adorable and the mansion felt really lively with all its animations. Amazing work! :D
I loved that you could add clues to the pin board and move them around. And I guess... the cake isn’t available as a clue for me anymore. ^^
Incredible game ! I don’t know how you managed to pull off something so polished in only 96 hours!!
Really well made, my only nitpick is that the music doesn’t loop.
OH also the game is really funny, made me chuckle a few times, well done !
