This was a fun lil detective game, the red string / handcuff mechanic is such a goofy cool idea and I liked that new questions show up when you interrogate people more. I did get a bit confused with the controls at first, and I can see why people had trouble with the brain part too... but the whole vibe is super cute and memorable. Nice job :)

How does the game fit the theme?
you have to choose who to trust, and you can use your handy superstition guide to tell if they're lying or not
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I don't think I used anything I didn't make?

had a chuckle over the fact that you can interrogate the murder weapon itself!

Treacherous Groundsi love detective games and this one really scratched that part of my brain. Great work!

Super Secret Sabatoging Spy ShooterSuch a cute game!! I absolutely love your art style and the way you named all the characters XD They're adorable!
I especially loved the interface and interactions. This is honestly one of my favorite approaches to a detective game I've played in this jam!
I think I might have missed some information about the case, though. I wasn't completely sure who the victim was or whether I caught the right person in the end. I also tried connecting the wire to their brains, but it immediately disconnected. Was that another interrogation mechanic? XD
I would love just a little more information to guide the investigation, but overall this is such a cute and creative game. I really, really love the presentation and interaction design!!

MURDER AT MOTEL 88Fun little detective game! All the characters are very cute and I enjoyed all the ways of getting info and figuring things out. Good job!

Fides CorviHi. I liked when you could interrogate the murder weapon. I think the drawing of the red wires could have been done by dragging the left mouse instead, and also a larger hibox for that, probably the whole picture instead of just the red thumbtack.

Community DungeonNice little game you have! Love the characters and the story. Control is a little too janky, though. Overall good concept.

Midnight MassThis was actually very fun to play. I didn't find out what that brain(?) (in level 2) was for though. Rope mechanic felt very fresh. At first I didn't know new questions were being added for the suspects, took me a few playthroughs, but it was clever to add that. I love detective games and yours was very interesting to play.

The Day I DiedNice game I love the concept.
Found it really hard to use the rope mechanic but that might honestly just be a skill issue!
