I really like how you get a new case each run. Unique and engaging game :)

Developer

Thank you a lot for playing and comment :)

I normally see this type of game done in jams but usually the story or responses are so difficult to decipher that it's impossible to play but I must say this version was actually very well done! Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much

I quite like 'choices matter'-style story driven games, so this was a nice change of pace. The audio choices were reasonable as well. The music choice was a bit unusual, and the sfx were a bit loud at times, but generally it was fine. The graphics were great, and the writing worked well, with only one error I noticed. It is interesting that the game seems to have a continuous plot line between story beats, does sort of make me wish they were presented in an ordered manner though.

Developer

Thank you for detailed review and playing. I had couple ideas, how I want to see it, but decided to leave it randomize for more chaotic gameplay in the game:) Anyway I appreciated your opinion and every opinion is important for me

idk if its Fine to use AI generated content for a game jam but besides this its Pretty Cool including the dialogues!! Good Job!

Developer

Thank you a lot for your words and for playing in game

Cool game but I have to ask. Is the cover and In the Court of the Crimson King reference?

Developer

Thank you for your review. I've never heard about this and I goggled it:) It's funny, but it's really looks similar. And even the naming of my game and the album... It is really strange and surprising:)

Submitted(+1)

That's so funny! Between the name and the art I was sure it was intentional. What a coincidence!

Submitted(+1)

I liked how wild some of the dialogue options were lol. Good job with the writing!

Developer

Thank you so much! I very glad  that you liked the game and appreciated my work

I had to come see this. Its very odd that we came up with such similar ideas haha. yet the styles are distinct enough. Kudos to you because now i know how hard it is making a text game.

Developer

Thank you a lot for your words. Yes, I totally agree with you. It is hard. But it's good that everybody has his own sytyle:)

A very unusual interpretation of the jam theme! Good work. It’s just a shame the game is so short.

Developer

Thank you for playing and review:) Yes, it is short, I didn't have enough time  to make it longer,  but it has a lot of variations:)

Submitted(+1)

It's a cool game for sure! The UI could use some more work, but overall it has an interesting concept and high potential for a bigger release! Be sure to check out my game and Good Luck!

Developer

Thank you a lot for playing and comment. It's i,portant for me to read and see more feedback and to know my weak sides that need to be improved. I appreciate it

Submitted(+1)

Man, there's a huge amount of dialogue and the concept is interesting. I'd just say that polishing the UI and adding more sound variations for the same sound effects would make the whole experience more satisfying, but for what it aims to be, there's plenty of content.

Developer

Thank you a lot. I totally agree, it's a good advice about more variation of sound effect. And yeah, about UI... it is my weak side also:) Anyway thank you so much for playing and review.
And about the text: there were around 24 pages of story script:D

Submitted(+1)

I agree with the other comments, the text is a bit too small and I think there is a bit too much on the screen at one time. Really cool idea though, nice job!

Developer

Thank you for your words and for playing. Yeah, I agree with everyone. First I wrote the whole screenplay and all the dialogues lines, but I didn't adapt them correctly for the screen and buttons. My bad:)

Submitted(+1)

the king constantly changing things around fits the theme pretty directly

i do agree with some of the comments though, there's a lot of text coming at you and it can get hard to follow what's actually important

mine is ONE REACTOR if you wanna check it out too

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your review!

I agree with every comments. The goal was to make the text more confusing, but I made the text itself too big and because of this it is difficult to read and understand in small buttons.

It's a great game, except that the person on the cover looks like Jesus :D I hope you'll check out my game, too.

Developer(+1)

Haha, It wasn't on purpose, I didn't even think about it.:) For me it's more like Jared Leto :D
Thank you for playing, comment and review. I appreciate it

I love the idea ! It's too bad you coudn't quite hit it with the graphics, you could have benefited from an artist on this one.

If I had one advice it would be to slice your text more : too much words at once create a visual overload and makes it harder to read.

Developer

Thank you for review and for advice. You're all right about the text, now I understand it. 
Thank you again:)

Submitted(+1)

Great job getting it out there!  My biggest struggle was simply the text size/amount of text.  I will say I found the cover image hilarious 😄 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and comment. Yeah, I see now, My biggest problem in the game is  work with the  text. I wrote  a lot of text, but made a bad way for reading it. 
Thank you again for your review

I see the vision behind, the idea is good, but the execution is rough. There is too much text, it should be much shorter, or if you want to keep that length of text it needs more visual stimulation. The audio is nicely done.

Developer

Thank you for review. It's important for me to hear about the problems also. I want to upgrade my skills, so I preciate it

Nice game but improve  graphics and audio 

Developer

Thank you a lot for playing and for comment. I agree, it can be better. Next time definitely:) Thank you
