I played a game for like 10 minutes and here is my feedback:
Great thing it has a tutorial but if this is supposed to be the first level that it is too long and hard (at least for me)
Also it seems overwhlmed with UI especially mutate window.
Would you try the first case of my detective game? It’s free in your browser, and even 10 minutes would help. I’d love to hear where you got stuck or, if you solved it, what made the case click. Play The Art of Deduction
hey, played the first case, the missing parcel, took me about 10 minutes and i solved it. really liked it. the shop and packing room art feels warm and inviting, and the evidence cards are easy to read. the best part for me was how the physical clues and the witness stories had to line up, once the wet wrapper and the dry print clicked together the answer felt earned, not guessed. nice that it wasn't a "someone stole it" twist either, the ending was small and kind of sweet.
the notebook (bookmarks, connections, notes) is useful without being forced on you, i like that. only small ui thing: a few witness topics seemed to just highlight on the first click and needed a second click to actually open, so it felt a bit inconsistent. no bugs or typos stood out.
and thanks for the honest notes on dna, you're right that the first level runs too long and the mutate window throws way too much at you at once. both are on my fix list now 🙏
