This game looks gorgeous and I loved the tranquil, slow pace. Not having to re-find old clues was key in allowing the player to try out some of the different endings, which was fun, and finally getting it right was very satisfying as well. Well done!

it was awesome. I love games where you have to think.

First of all the graphics are just flawless. As an artist I don't see any problems with this game. Secondly the gameplay made me sit and think, and I like that (in the end I didn't guess who the killer was on the first try:) )

Thank you so much for your kind words about the graphics, RuRaRuPaRu! It means a lot to me :) Also, the slow gameplay that requires thinking might not be for everyone, but I'm glad you like it! (It might take a few tries to figure out the killer, but thanks for checking it out anyway!)

A very fun point and click adventure! I wish there was a way to track clues, but I did like that finding new evidence opened up more dialogue options.

I do wish the ending had an option to tell me who the murderer was and their motive. Guess I'll just have to play it again!

Hi Kodiak, Thanks for the feedback. We also wanted to add a way to track the clues using a notes system but we had to make the painful decision to cut that from the final game as the scope was getting pretty big at that point aha. An option at the end to tell you who the murderer is and their motive sounds like an awesome idea and hadn't even crossed my mind. Thank you so much for taking the time to check out our game :D

Reply
KodiakSubmitted2 years ago(+1)

Oh yeah that's totally fair on not adding the notes system, only having a week to create an entire game does require some cuts.

Hey, this is REALLY solid. The art direction is super cute, the detective mechanics are fun, sound design is strong. Theme integration could've been a little better, but it was there. Really nice job!

Great job for making a great detective game! Pixel art is so cute too. I'm not sure if it's just my computer issue but I can't click the intercom. From the scene transition, I know the intercom is on right of the door but it seems to slide too much.

Hi LazyAnt Thanks for the screenshot and comment. we have thankfully encounter this bug too, it seems to be an issue with unity web player. To solve the issue we recommend playing the game in full screen.

Reply
DDA The Lazy AntSubmitted2 years ago

I just tried with full screen. It's definitely looks better but I still can't see the intercom. I also double checked that zoom is 100%.


Reply
LooksFineToMeDeveloper2 years ago

oh no interesting out of curiosity do you happen to know your computers screen resolution?

Reply
DDA The Lazy AntSubmitted2 years ago

Looks like my computer's screen resolution is 2560 x 1600. Hope that helps.

Reply
LooksFineToMeDeveloper2 years ago

The only testing we had was 1920x1080 resolution so I believe it's a bug with that. I'm very sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. The only other thing I can recommend is downloading the windows build of the game and running it that way. But if it's too much hassle or you don't feel comfortable running .exe files on your computer that's completely reasonable. if you do decide to run the windows version of the game please let us know how it goes. If not we still really appreciate you taking the time to checkout our game :D.
