Everything is so darn beautiful?

I love that each run is random. The art style is so cute and well drawn, it really brings the game together. The only thing bothering me is the text sound effect, but overall it's so good.

There was so much polish in this game. The randomness was awesome when I tried to do a 2nd clear. The sound effects in the ambiance are awesome. Jazz also makes this feel really cozy. The time estimate was done really well. I never felt rushed even though I had talk with people or clues couple times at some points. Really good design on that part. The art and UI were amazing. Y’all did great!

you did a fantastic job in brining in Clue and cats together with that randomness . good job.

Oh this was a cute one! This was like cluedo without the tension, lol. Randomized murder mystery, its has a similar randomization in my game! I think the one thing I wished this has is the suspects lying or at least give out red herrings. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunate, is that I completely forgot to cross out one of the locations which really brought out a challenge, which I was looking for here. Nonetheless, everything was flawless. Nice job!! ^^

Really nice game! The art style is super cute, and I absolutely loved the cat detective! I also thought using randomized crimes was a really clever idea and adds a lot to the game. Great job!

first of all super cute!!! this is such a great game! i like the art style so much. the color palette. the characters are cute. if you and your team has enough time, it can be even more amazing! like exploring the map can be more satisfying. the clue and conversation can even be more subtle. but,  i totally can see where this is going! i love it!

It's great the game is randomized! I played it twice! It seems the magnifying glass image for the clues didn't appear for me the first time (just their sparkles). I like that the locations of the clues/suspects are randomized too. It'd be nice if the suspects didn't prove their own innocence though, I had Mrs. Bigglesworth say that Mrs. Bigglesworth wasn't involved... 😅

Great UX as well with the notepad and being able to refer to it at the end as well when making the deduction, though I would have liked if the timer paused while referring to it or at least being able to move around still with it open. One or the other. Amazing job!

Cute game, love the characters designs. Mr. Bigglesworth unfortunately never saw that cupcake coming. RIP

Very cute! I love the art for this so much <3 

Submitted

I really enjoyed the game the art style and music was amazing and it was overall an amazing game!

Submitted

What a cute game! I loved the art and polish. The aesthetics all tie together so well into the overall atmosphere and theme. I really like how it was randomized to enable replay.  I found it a little silly that the killer told me the truth about the place/weapon that weren't involved, but overall, I really enjoyed the game!

I was drawn in by the cover art and the game itself definitely did not disappoint. Very well polished game with really cute characters and interesting dialogue with sound implementations.

Oops i think i accidentally deleted my comment but as i said, this is the best game ive played so far! The art is unmatched honestly and its so cute. I like how its randomized too it makes this game even more unique. At times though it felt less as an investigation and more of a "checking the boxes" type of stuff which i think is a double edged sword in this case.
