How does the game fit the theme?
One person was murdered at this party. To solve it, you'll read everyone's testimony and walk through frozen moments in time to check their stories against what actually happened. Some are lying. Some aren't. You won't know which until you look for yourself — because here, you can't trust anyone.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Models (some of them)

How many people worked on the game?

Cool time travel idea and overall nice and clear hit on the jam theme! 
Very solid scene, imho has a potential for scaling
(good replay bait text on finish also haha)

Submitted

Really enjoyed the overall atmosphere and sense of immersion!

I especially loved how the interface was integrated into the book instead of just being a regular UI. Such a nice design choice.

Submitted

Nice game! Walking through frozen moments felt so Obra Dinn I like it! had 100% completion, so that's that. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! 100% is amazing and yeah obra dinn was a huge inspiration.

Submitted

First thing it said was "Liam's Dead", and I was like am I? 😅 Great game tho. I liked the visuals, and the writing too. Well done. 

Developer

Thats actually so funny LOL. What a coincidence!

Submitted

Nice game! love how it looks as well. It kind of gives me return to obra din vibes.

Developer

Yeah obra dinn was a huge inspiration for this. Thanks a lot for playing

Got 12/14! Not sure if it’s becuz I got the escape parts wrong haha. Always love detective games, and the mechanic of changing the timeline by triggering different frames was excellent. Amazing work!

12/14 is hella good thanks for playing

i FREAKING loved the game so much!

Developer

Thxxx for the kind words

Submitted

I think it's one of the few 3D detective games I've seen, great job!

Developer

Thx bro

this is soo good and how do you have 3 kanye references bruh lol

Developer (1 edit)

kanye my goat - its actually 4 references

Submitted

Interesting investigation mechanics. Honestly, a tutorial is needed to make it easier to get into. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! there is a tutorial at the start tho?

Submitted

Wow! I love the time rewinding mechanic a lot, super unique take on the murder-mystery style and made me feel like a cool little time detective hahaha. Ended up getting 14/14 after doubting myself and double-checking everything but had a ton of fun doing it. Great job!

Developer

Yo nice you got a 14! thats fire bro. Thanks for the nice words!

Submitted

Great mood ! I really enjoyed it , great work for just a one person !

Developer

thx bro! what was your final score?

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

I LOVE THIS! The graphic is adjacent to Chilasart games, and the murder-mystery style gameplay is genuinely engaging. I love being able to type in the name it showing up on the person's head. Small thing but feels satisfying. Well done! I got 12/14 for my score.

Developer

12/14 is very cloose what did you miss? Who did you mark as the killer? Thanks for the amazing feedback!

Submitted

I'm not sure what I missed but I marked... The cook as the one who told the truth bc the kitchen was locked. Vlad was definitely on the ladder lol. The guy with the headphones was outside unlike his claim of staying inside.

I marked Andrew (or was it George lol I forgot. The one who screamed and alerted the guy looking at Liam's body) as the killer bc he was the one who was with Liam last. And he's suspiciously missing from the upstairs despite screaming about it 

Submitted

So solid and neatly done especially by a solo dev! I went through the whole game and really engaged with the story and gameplay. Nice visuals and atmosphere, could use better audio design and I wish the game had some sort of v-sync, so many screen tearing but nothing that would hurt the experience. 

Developer

Thanks for the amazing feedback! I think V-Sync is enabled in the downloaded version. But i do not really know what it is anyway im just guessing. What was your final score?

Submitted

It syncs the game's FPS with monitor's refresh rate. And I gave it 4 or 5 stars in most categories except for audio (3/5). Would be honored if you also give my game a try! 

Submitted

This is soo peak! I love the visuals!

Developer

thx a lot. what was your final score?

Submitted

I somehow had some problems with the movement, at least in the WebGL version. Visuals and sounds are really good though, and if the gameplay gets a bit more optimized/fixed I can definitely see myself playing more. Nice atmosphere overall and a really solid base.

Developer

If you move your cursor out that happens yeah. I have no control over it. But I polished up the gameplay a little bit more. Added some more guidance at the start. You can give it another shot!

Submitted

I think I'm not patient or smart enough for this but it looks pretty and polished to me.

Developer

I updated the game with more guidance. You can give it a replay now!

Submitted (1 edit)

the text is kinda hard to read and its hard to understand what to do or maybe im just dumb, pretty polished tho

way better than mine and might be good if developed more

Developer

I updated the text and added some more guidance to kick off the player, you can give it another shot

Submitted

The small changes really improved the enjoyment and understandability even though i still got 3/21 which is 21% but i think thats a skill issue
the only complaint i have is the book moves when you move the mouse in uncomfortable way so maybe change that a bit? might help to add a map so people can know how much area there is
Best game ive played in the jam so far :)
