Absolute gem of a game! The art style is gorgeous, the atmosphere is super immersive, and the humor is top notch. I really liked how the investigative parts make you pay attention to the environment instead of just following obvious objectives, and the whole thing feels incredibly polished. There were a few moments where I wasn't quite sure how to progress or what I had missed, though that might just be a skill issue on my end haha. Even then, I had a great time with it. Overall, amazing job!

Princess MistHey thanks for leaving the comment on my thread and rating my game. I played several more detective style games and I came back to say that this one sticks out the most. I really liked how your game gave floorplans and silly photos of the crime scene. Those added dimensions really made it so much more interesting. I also appreciated the way things were thoughtfully laid out so you can see the dialog side by side with the hard facts. Bravo bravo well done to your team 👏👏👏👏

SPEED D1FFThe "YOU!!!" took me out every single time lol. Loved the whole game, the photographs in particular were an awesome touch and loved the little bit of being able to drink the coffee. Front facing horse did freak me out, I don't think I could cut it as a detective.

Eat not, Want notOk I'm terrible at these deductive reasoning games, but wow, this was really well made, well polished! The graphics, sounds, animations, transitions... you can tell a lot of thought and effort was put into this. The characters were great, the barnyard theme and trivial $$ damages made the whole thing funny. The sipping coffee was a nice touch as well. Excellent entry!

Angle ShootI think the game came out so well and love the art style. I think some stronger hints would be better for the cases or maybe more evidence. Either way, best game I've seen so far.

The Witching HourThis is so good! The presentation, the music, the stories - everything just fits together so well.
The note taking and the certainty markers were fun mechanics that made for great help doing the logic puzzles. And the idea of judging farm animal disputes is a really funny take on the theme. Amazing game.
Small details like being able to sip coffee while taking notes is just *chef's kiss*
