The sound effects and atmosphere were well-crafted. I really enjoyed the feeling of being a detective.
I always love me a good detective game, but I do wish the camera/photos was actually used more in solving the case. I played through the game once and guessed the wrong culprit. Then I went back in, skipped straight to the interrogation rooms and accused the right person, and I didn't take any pictures for that playthrough. But other then that, this was good!
Cool concept for the theme! You actually get to play as a detective, taking photos for clues and interrogating people. Great job on the game!
I really like the game, the story is simple enough to understand.
Really enjoyed the gameplay, especially the camera mechanic. The pacing and overall flow felt smooth too.
Nice game. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed looking back at the photos I took and seeing the commentary.
The photos part was neat, but what sold this case solving for me is the interrogations - As someone who likes watching crime cases on YouTube, I like how the killer obviously acts psychologically accurate to how a normal person would act in an interrogation room (especially the paranoia part)
Overall, this game is pretty intriguing. Good stuff!
The photos mechanic is really fun and dynamic, and I loved the retro look of the game and the overall spooky vibe.
Great job following the theme and making an interesting game :D
i personally had fun taking photos and linking them to a possible murderer. the clues are also very creative and how the suspects respond to interrogation, but maybe i would add red herrings which link to other suspects to make the game require more critical thinking. either way, it is hard to make a detective game and im glad u aced that challenge :)
A mystery game that doesn't feed you the information blatantly? Sign me up. I love this! Great job!
The detective concept really fit the theme! Also the camera functionality was creative
Was a neat little detective experience, I wouldve loved more variety in clues and stuff to think about, otherwise its basically as on theme as it gets, nice work
Solid jam game. Managed to find the murder in one go! Probably could have used some red herrings in the alley or conversations to make it a little harder? Still, good job finishing the game!
I have to say, this depends from person to person so much. I figured there must be some kind of clues that one group of people always find and it's easy for them, and other clues that is easy for others.
I enjoyed developing this kind of concept and might try to make more complex cases.
Thank you for playing.
Except from some audio stuttering the web build ran fine!
I was very certain I had the right person with the ... is guilty. And then the second line popped up.
I feel like some small things could've made this game more immersive, without too much work, like adding a cool font, or styling some more of the UI. Overall a fun game.
