Good game !!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

When I saw the TV, I thought it was a FNAF-like game, but I was wrong—it seems to be a narrative experience with a very unique approach, immersive gameplay and atmosphere. But then... I actually don't understand English (LOL), so I missed out on this great work! But don't worry—it's not your fault! Being able to convey the story with so little text and voice acting is already impressive in itself!

sorry you could not fully experience the game, but we so happy you enjoyed it :)

I don't know why, but I couldn't launch the web version of the game, but after downloading it, I realized that it was very interesting. I was immediately hooked by your voice acting coming from my phone, great job!

Developer(+1)

thank you so much, and the web version might not be working great because its a 3d game but thank you so much for the heads up :)

I was so lost at first, but once I got the hang of it all, I finished through the game! Really cool game narrative-wise and I really love the voice acting in this one!

Developer(+1)

thank you it means a lot that you enjoyed it and a proper tutorial will be something we address :)

The game looks really cool, but as someone with bad english it was a little bit hard to understand the voicemails and I didn't went very far :/ If you continue developing the game (it's your plan if I understood correctly some of your comments here, and I wholeheartedly agree with that plan!) consider adding subtitles as well.

Developer

ah I apologise for the lack of subtitles that will be something we add in future !!! and we do really want to continue making the game so they will be added and thank you very much for the feedback:)

No need to apologize, it's a game jam, it's normal to not have the time to do everything. I just wanted to let you know that it is something to consider for a full game (but I guess you probably already knew it). I wish you good luck for the work ahead of you!  I followed the game, but I don't know itch.io, so I don't really know what "following a game" means. I hope I'll get notified when there will be news about it!

The voiced detective setup pulled me in right away. For me the voicemail controls were a bit hard to read, so I lost some time figuring out what was active. Still, I like the case and would be curious to see where it goes.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks so much for the feedback it really means the world to us and helps us a ton moving forward.

Cool mystery game, and it being voiced is amazing!!!

Developer

thank you !!! :)

First of all, I loved that it was voiced, voice overs are always a plus for me.  Secondly voicemail controls could have been little lot clearer. Honestly I struggled with it. But I love mystery and detective games, so if you are planning to release the game, I am up for it, but it would need some reworks. Overall great work considering the time limit of game jam. I am always amazed what people is able to achieve in these 4 days.

Developer

thank you so much, for everyone in our team of 3 its our very first jam and it just makes extremely happy so many people are enjoying it , we are deffenetly thinking of making a full release on steam 

Submitted(+2)

This game has the potential to become a major detective game for Steam. Only needs some optimization, a longer story and the ability to make decisions.

Developer

thank you very much that means a whole lot to me and the other guys it’s what we aimed for honestly, and the decision was meant to be a piece of it like telltales system  so you’ve kinda read our minds a bit there ahaha

i like how the ceiling is dented

Developer

thank you for the feedback I have to take the responsibility on that one I made a kinda poor tutorial but thank you for playing :) 

Submitted

Interesting concept for a mystery game, a bit like looking for evidence in ace attorney but you're on the clock and have to decide what info is useful and what's dirt.

Developer

thanks, the most difficult part was how the theme would play into it all 

Developer

Its really cool honestly
