Cute whodunit with strong mechanics and multiple endings.
Well done! is a lot of work to make a game, and even harder make one that flow so well.
The art for all the portraits was super cute, and I liked all the little animations! The story is cool too, but all the characters were hard to keep track of. But otherwise, good job!
I got the good ending!
Here's an in depth review:
I feel like the game was good, the animations and art were really good (shoutout to your artist), but sometimes the art would shrink weirdly, as if it was trying to fit in a certain frame size (some characters would appear slimmer than they are). The music was good, but I wish there was some ambient music for the outside. I haven't played any detective games before, so I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but there was simply too much information, and I kept losing track of which characters are which, and the only reason I found the good ending was because of one specific clue about (SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T PLAYED) the rat poison, and nothing else mattered. I really liked this game, it was very creative, and I can see how well your team worked together to make it :)
Ohhh! Thank you so much for your feedback! Don't get too confident with the *** p***** though 👀 Some other characters may have had similar stuff going on too, but since players can't investigate every single clue in one playthrough, some may have gotten luckier than others. Your comment is really sweet! Thank you so so much!
You're very welcome! Yeah, I figured there was definitely a better explanation. I should probably start playing more detective games lol
Like the art haha, even though I think a more balanced approach (like all pixel or all drawn) would look better. The way you put the building also looks like you can scroll, but you can't XD. The idea of needing travel time to different places is so cool, I think it can be put into more good use. Overall, great job!
Nice luck and fit with theme :) Love the characters and concept but felt like gameplay could be more polished.
Cool game! Unfortunately, after questioning someone in the first room, I couldn't do anything more. But I like the game concept.
Art is really good and I got the good ending in my first try! Thankfully I read the instructions XD I wouldve been so confused otherwise. It was a nice game
I like some songs, tho i'm not a fan of this type of genre. Is ok i guess :S
I think some helpers on screen would have been helpful like "E" below/near the dialog box. The M for exiting the apartments wasn't too clear as well, but might have just been me since I jumped straight in without reading instructions.
Overall a fitting game for the theme. Good job!
It is a well-made game, clearly, it was a good team effort, since you asked for feedback;
I think "Space" would have been a better key choice to advance the text (could have used both). The text size was inconsistent because you were adjusting it to fit that space. When you need longer chats, split them into two separate bubbles.
You don't fully utilise the game space; there are some wide margins. However, that does give an opportunity to add A map and clue inventory that can be clicked on as well, using the already assigned keys.
I love the artwork style; I like the mechanic that investigating an object takes a certain amount of time.
Well done
Love a good murder mystery! The art is really cute and the point and click aspect was engaging. The time limit helps keep things at a steady pace so as to not detract from the tension. I did have a bit of issues with the controls, but that's more of a me thing. Overall a great concept. Well done!
Got the GOOD ENDING!! Who's the best detective in the world !!
The art style is absolutely adorable, and every single character is SO cute!! For some reason, I found myself trying to give every character their own voice while reading their dialogue XD
It's a short little game, but it feels incredibly polished! Having limited time to decide which suspects to investigate made everything feel really tense, but figuring things out was also super satisfying!
I also loved how much thought went into decorating each room. They all have so much personality and are really well designed!
And once again, I absolutely LOVE the art!! :D
Great idea and execution. I love mystery story games (Life is Strange is actually my favorite game). Few recommendations. The control scheme should be easier to understand. Took me a few minutes clicking around and smashing enter/space to realize the E was the interact button. Yes you have the tutorial screen but a little "E" at the bottom of the text box could go a long way in immediately immersing the player. Overall great idea. I didnt make it to the end of the mystery but did like how searching for clues was tied to the time of day.
I think how you navigate around is pretty unique and cool, the character designs are awesome. whos the best detective in the world... hahaha... I got a bug on my second playthrough and could not accuse anyone... the yes button would not work for anyone :( oooh i pressed tab to close the menu and then it actually allowed me to select the culprit... nice game thank you for sharing :) short but fun. I like that.
I absolutely love this game's art!
I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the art ,the music was nice but sometimes it stopped or felt like it was missing.Great project good job!
Damn really nice game you guys got here. I pretty liked it.
Very beautiful art.
You could make playable just with the mouse, or arrange some of the keys, m and e are kinda far.
A button to for exit, like pressing the door you just entered to return you to the map.
Good job with the narrative
I really love the concept of your story and the artistic style... The character animations are just so cute! It's so much fun! 🥺 🥺 Welcome to come and play our game!
Thank you so so much for leaving a comment. We're very happy to hear you enjoyed our game!
Nice work on the narrative! The story was really cute and the art fit perfectly. Great job implementing a point & Click - I feel like that is a difficult genre to try in a short amount of time.
As soon as I walked into that [redacted]'s room and saw all the rat [redacted] laying around, I knew whodunit.
Others mentioned it, but main navigation was a little weird, but I figured it out after clicking around. I actually got stuck longer trying to remember what to press for dialog (E) on that first screen lol
Thank you so much for your comment and your nice words. We really appreciate it!
And actually... some clues were missing, and one of the other characters was also supposed to have some kind of ****** to lead people down the wrong path. We're planning to make some updates to make the game slightly more difficult and add what we forgot to include before the jam deadline.
Some players also rely more on luck, as they aren't able to explore all the clues before time runs out. They might, for example, discover the ****** in the killer's apartment before finding the one belonging to the other character.
We will also probably update the controls ;) Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such in-depth feedback ;)
