Love, love, loved this game! The voice acting was neat, the story super intriguing and the music absolutely banged. The character designs were stylistically distinct and very cool, and the sense of humour in this game was very cozy and fun. Big love to the team who made this!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Reading this made my day.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the game 🥳💯
Huuuuuge fan of the character designs. Would be cool to see them again! Post-solve question -- jnf Mbzovr'f cnegvny fvoyvat Senaxvr? Interested in their backstory
Thank you for the fun cipher haha, lrf! gurl ner unys fvoyvatf :)
This game was extremely fun! It was very well written, the artwork is gorgeous, voice acting was on point, music enjoyable. I immediately suspected the murderer, but I thought "surely I wouldn't figure it out that quickly" and I had to play through and get it wrong like 3 times before I got it right haha. I would really appreciate a save button, or some way to not have to speedrun the entire game again and again to re-accuse until you get it right.
Great job team!!
haha tysm for playing! 100% our next update will be for QOL and saving, our dev was working in a brand new engine for this one so save systems were a little over-ambitious for us during the jam, but we'll be working on it for the 1.02 release!
Thank you for taking the time to play and leave such helpful feedback! Trying to write a murder mystery where you don't know everything too quickly was a fun challenge and I'm glad you had fun 😄
I have completely normal thoughts about Reaper.
Our Reaper is otherworldly 🙂↕️🙏
great work, I loved it!
Thank you for taking the time to play and leave a review! 🥰
Amazing work! I loved the art style, the music, the lore! Absolute cinema! 💜
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the game 🍿
