This one was really good! It feels quite polished, although at the beginning I was frankly confused over how to play it. Once you get the hang of it, it’s really good! Great work!
It was a really interesting idea! I really enjoyed it, and the visuals are very high quality. Great job!
ohhhhhhhhhh you have to place a note, open the note, then push tab to access the suspects. I spent the first few minutes thinking I was just in some kind of mail sorting phase. Then I wonder what the point of keeping vs trashing the mail is
I wish the track looped, it was smooth. Was that made by the team?
Playing back through again, I’m still not sure how to do what the lose screen suggested. I just keep stringing pictures and sorting mail
I tried pushing a change to loop the music and the game became unplayable somehow so now im afraid of making any fixes. Also the music is club penguin pizza parlor OST LOL
This is entirely on me, you inspect the photo , then left click to choose someone. You want to be choosing someone who has no connection to Isaiah and the boss. The point of sorting the mail, is to create the relationships. So mail from A-> B hasn't been sent yet. IF you trash it, then they dont have a relationship and wont talk. If you don't trash it then a relationship is formed
Sorry thats a bit on us, on the lack of explaining and vagueness of notes
Not gonna lie, I was a little confused. I pinned two things to the bulletin board, but it was just empty photos since that's all that happened when I left clicked it. I sorted through letters and I was not really understanding those at all. I trashed ones that came off as rude and kept ones that seemed ok. I'm not sure if I'm missing the point of the game. Seems like it could be a really well done game!
Sorry I think we did a lack of explaining.
You read the mail, if the mail is sent, A relationship is formed between both parties, thus they talk. If you trash it, their is no relationship.
Your goal is make these understand, and manipulate these relationships. So the news doesn't flow back to the boss / his goon.
i love the game, were just straight into it
Having a corkboard and pinning suspects to it and attaching them with red string is loads of fun. I like the desk setup a lot, though I did have some confusion on my first run figuring out what I was really looking out for. The music does just stop at some point which is a shame, but overall I thought it was fun. I did have fun just putting a bunch of pictures on the board and connecting them with strings lol.
RIP, I think I forgot auto play. Rip Club penguin pizza parlor music D:
the physical desk sells it, pinning suspect notes to the board and tabbing between them beats a menu every time. keep or trash with left and right click is a good clean verb too. i couldnt tell what made a letter suspicious on my first few, a hint of what to look for early would help me trust my own calls
