This is very cool! Really love the classic mystery and the art style. It was a throwback to some games I played long ago.  I would like a whole series of mysteries like this, haha.

Loved the art style and was really impressed by how finished some aspects of the game seemed to be. It was a  pretty good point and click game from my experience (I have literally only ever finished one before) and I liked the soundtrack, it fit well with the style of the game, good job.

Honest review:

The artwork was very well done.  The music was decent, but did get repetitive.  Sound effects were excellent.  The atmosphere as a whole did work.

The writing was a bit off.  Incorrect words and grammar, etc were too common to be typos.  You can use text editors to check grammar for you.  The story was fine, otherwise.

This really is an example of a classic, common trope for point and click games.  There was some very peculiar logic to solving the puzzles.  Some were simple, others were not.  I, and likely many others, managed to get through some of them by just using trial and error.

Theme fits well, given the ending.

Your game reminded me of the old, good point-and-click games where you had to find that one clue or key among all the clutter
