I really loved the characters and the dialogue, it felt like It was in NEED of dialogue voices or sounds in general, the music band was awesome. The 2.5D art was awesome, the light rays were kinda cool to see in 3d. The game is unfinished so I can't rate it fully; though it was an amazing experience as is and I can see it becoming a really great game.
Really awesome game, good job on the submission!

Trust no OneArtstyle is amazing, I love the 3D space created out of 2D art that's something I'd like to do sometime. Dialogue was pretty fun, I do wish there were more things to do around the area but the time limit is kinda rough I get it.

No time to loseI LOVE THE ARTSTLYE IT IS SOO GOOD. But I didnt really see a game here I just kinda walked around until the end came. But it has soo much potential to be a open city detective game. Would LOVE to see it.
