Nice game! Really like the art
I broke it during the dialogue with the wife of the victim
Not sure what happened but i think i pressed something too fast and all options just disappeared.
Otherwise really great entry
The artwork is genuinely phenomenal i'm super blown away by it, but a lot of the presentation felt a bit iffy at times, very lovely character designs though and story!
I fell into the same dialogue trap, I think. I loved the artwork and idea for this. When you fix the bugs, I think it might help having a "hint mode" option or something too, I got stuck on trying to get Haroold's key, when I went back to talk to the wife, that's when it got stuck on me. If that helps narrow things down for you.
I unfortunately couldn't make much progress, the game locked during a dialogue. I found it difficult to navigate the investigation-part as the only visual cue for an interaction is the cursor changing. The art is charming and I do want to find out how the story unfolds, so I'll probably revisit.
Thanks for checking the game out! We are aware of the dialogue problem and are doing our best to address it as quickly as possible
Important note!
At the moment of submitting this project there are unfortunately several game breaking bugs, those being:
- dialogue in which you prove people's lies doesn't launch and instead the game assumes that you've already won
- one of Baron's dialogue is causing the game to hardlock
We are aware of the problems and will do our best to fix them as soon as possible. If you play this game before it gets updated remember that you might not experience the whole thing.
Sorry to anyone who wanted to play this and thank you for understanding!
