In what way does your game fit the theme?
Video tape surveillance that requires the player to rewind it to catch all of the details
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes and yes (apart from an icon and sounds/music for which I used copyright free assets credited in the game's description)

I liked the game. A bit difficult to put the vhs in because it covers all the screen, but that's not a big problem.
This was an extremely well made game. Great job. It was a little hard, and a lot to keep track of, but that probably just comes with detective style games. I played for a good 20-30 minutes and then guessed, and I got it right the first time! I loved all of the tapes hidden around the room, and option actually in the desk! Great job and very clever game!
Nice concept and I thought it worked really well. It did crash on me pretty early, but that meant I didn't have far to catch up.
Great detective game! I especially like how you can arrange stuff on your table, and "dynamically" search for clues, it is very immersive.
I can't think of any criticism. Good work!
Also, not to brag or anything...but I got the suspect first try >:) (with clues, without guessing!)
Nice game.
A bit too much nothing on the tapes, though I understand it's necessary to fit the parallel schedules.
The desk became a real mess after finding a few tapes, but never enough to prevent me from finding what I needed.
Although, why the mechanic of throwing objects ? It felt a bit weird trying to put something down or organize a nice pile, only to fling tapes across the office.
Also, the interrogation tapes could use a bit more infos about their duration/progression. I missed a couple dialogues the first time because I though the interrogation was over, due to the text staying the same, but it wasn't and I was not patient enough.
Overall a fun experience, wouldn't mind playing a "complete" game in this style.
Very nice work and game! It would require polish on the motion and UI but great!
I would really appreciate your opinion on mine as well if you have a moment.
Looks well made. Not sure if it was because of the motion blur, but it felt like the game was running at horrible framerate (& I have decent GPU)
Very nice, I really felt like I was investigating a crime!
Post-jam, a better UI, graphics and sounds could make it great. It's hard to recognize the characters, to know what they are doing, and the desk because messy pretty fast! It all comes in the way of the investigation work.
I think there could also be a way to navigate through the tapes more easily than with rewind and fast forward, like a cursor? Check out our game, we use one :p
this was really amazing, truly amazed to see you pulled this off in 1 week, also love your take on theme, and gameplay was fun.
