Really cool! It took me a minute to realize the killer didn't have the abilities of the character they were, like if spider m- I mean... Arachni-Guy... was the killer, he wouldn't be able to kill people from anywhere, but that's on me for not reading the rules properly.

It was fun coming up with ways to determine people's innocence, while protecting people I cared to keep around (Milo the GOAT). The redditor never felt like a good choice to play, since I never had a moment where I wanted a bunch of people in the middle room, but I'd usually have to take a long moment to consider the ramifications of my choices, which is a sign of a good brain teaser.

I did run into an issue where when I had no legal moves to play from people piling in rooms, I wasn't able to move anymore and got softlocked. Clearing corpses seemed really helpful in that moment, too bad the doctor was dead.

This was a fun time, and all of those high quality art assets were made in the four day span? Wow. Good job you two!

This is THE BEST game I've played so far. Engrossing, solvable, but challenging. Each playthrough is different. This could easily expand out to a full game with even just an extra 3 people shuffling in and out per play through and slightly different maps. Counting down the dinner guests. This was great. I hope Mark sees it.

Intriguing game, can tell a lot of thought was put into the cards and peoples abilities/effects.

Presentation is very nice, the art and music are great. I did encounter one issue the second time I played I think... I had the middle room and both side rooms filled and locked the door between middle and greenhouse. Then the game gave me cards for 2 people in the middle room so I was unable to move them anywhere or continue as far as I could see.

Overall a very good entry, great job!

Thanks for the feedback. I foresaw that that may arise as an issue, but wasn't able to think of a satisfying solution within the timeframe of the jam. I was mostly banking on it being a rare occurrence, since it wasn't encountered during playtesting. I'll give it more thought for a potential post-jam update. Thank you again!

This was great! Loved the artwork, the mechanics, the sarcastic writing. Really great overall.

This is a interesting idea, a bit of a clue but the murderer is still murdering.  The process of elimination is a fascinating way of counting down.  Of course I think that there could be room for more people and more stages.  Some of the abilities are kinda useful to not very useful at all.  the music can get a bit grading after a bit, and as simple as the sound effects are, they work like a charm.  The only thing I can say is that the pixel art isn't perfect, but works fine for this game.   The card play is a bit fascinating, and I'm certain that if you could get the murder into a room by him self at the end of the turn you could speed run this game!
