i know how it feels to leave project unfinished but i need to say this is some amazing work and you should not worry about it gang. managing to have VOICE ACTING, 3D, 2D, DIALOGUE SYSTEM, ITEM SYSTEM AND PLOT IS VERY MUCH ABOVE ENOUGH, i have no clue how you pulled this of in team of 3 but congrats to you all. as everyone i will point out that billboarding is a grate idea to put in such game, combination of two styles (2D and 3D) is what i love to see, enjoyed my time playing very much!

Thanks everyone for trying our game. Unfortunately we didn't have time to polish up so it is very rough. Regarding items, only one can be carries at once, dropping them doesn't disable their collision causing the player to get stuck. A workaround is picking it up again and dropping it elsewhere.

These items are mainly used at the entrance area for additional dialogue to determine the end screen results.

Always love a mix of 2d and 3d! There's a couple areas where I would love to see the devs have more time to cook! Not sure if it's intended, but I "drank(?)" the poison and wasn't able to move... multiple times.  Enjoyed it!

Very pretty character art! And what nice spooky soundtrack. Enjoyed the mystery :)

the characters look very stylized and beautiful , I liked the occasional voice acting they were very cute ! I just think maybe the dialogue system could be a little more polished and engaging , other than that , a great entry for the "trust no one" themed game jam ! keep up the good work !

The voice acting was such a unique feature and touch! I would love hear more of but there got had lots of even for 7 days. I might be a bit biased from our game but I loved the 2D and 3D mix as well. The 2D characters really popped in the environment.

I also ran into the bug where picking up items and placing them down would sometime soft lock you since the were on top of the player. But I was able go around by picking up all the items once and placing them down right away since they would be saved in the list. But other then that it was enjoy able experience.

Great job!

I had to download the game cus the web export is buggy, but either way what a nicely made game, I love the art and the characters mostly, solid submission!

I really liked the character designs and the 2.5D but unfortunately I can't manage to play the game as picking up a second item or trying to put down the one I had rendered me incapable of moving around (playing in web export). Attempted to relaunch the game 4-5 times with the same result.
I also got trapped in an infinite dialogue loop trying to talk to the police.

I like the character art. Great submission!

MASSIVE points for style, best vibe of the games ive played so far

my baby 🥹

I love the character designs! The art style is great, and I like that you went for a murder mystery to go with the theme! Super cool you have voice acting! For the gameplay, I did get a little disengaged just clicking through dialogue... but it could just be my short attention span haha. Unfortunately I did end up getting soft locked when talking to the butler after the first murder and he kept asking who did it :(

Really loved the art style for this 2.5D game. The movement could use some easing, but other than that great work overall!

I have a soft spot for 2.5D games, so this immediately caught my attention :) I really like how the 2D characters sit inside the 3D environment — it feels natural rather than like two separate styles being layered together. The character designs are really charming too, and the voice acting gives them a lot of personality.

The only real issue I ran into was with some objects getting stuck and blocking my movement, which forced me to restart a couple of times. But overall, I really liked how you pulled this style off.

The art is really good, question about the movement on the character, do they just instantly scale from scale x to y or there is some other subtle movement to have this good feeling?

I got blocked each time I took an object (box glove), if I try to take another one (quill or pillow in my case) the glove are put down on me and block my movement and I am stuck there. I tryed 3/4 times, happenned ever time :(

Seems like we had similar interpretations of the theme! The art and overall vibes were great and the voice acting was fun, agree with everyone else on how much I loved the Alien and my man Trevor!

i would die for the alien. that's my best friend
the art style is so charming- the characters reminded me a bit of professor layton vibes-wise! the music is nice and chill and walking around was good fun. i don't think i quite solved the murder though :c i got a confession but wasn't sure how to progress with it!
overall, very charming lil game!!

Truly incredible! Adding the voice acting was a wow moment, and the character art style is amazing hahaha, really great job! I ran into a bit of a bug where items got stuck when putting them on the ground, but congrats anyway Alien is the best character!

Such a cute game!!!

The 2d art and 3d environment thing is always so cool, and the character art in this game is so cute!! The voice acting was also really good, Very VERY fond of the alien character!

The only thing wrong I found is that I got stuck unable to move immediately after loading in, but lowkey thats probably my computer's fault and it fixed on a reload.

Thanks for sharing :D
