Nice puzzle idea and well presented. I enjoyed playing it...

It did seem a little too much down to luck though - if you happen to randomly pick a good couple of interrogations to start with, then it was quite easy, but start off unlucky then it seems near impossible to work out given the limited interrogations.

Perhaps a few more factors could have been introduced and the chance to gain more interrogations show how would have been nice for when you get stuck.

Nice entry though, interesting idea :)

I really loved the concept of the game. Although the gameplay wasn't difficult, I found it very simple. If there were more elements to it, it would be so enjoyable to play endlessly. Nevertheless, the simplicity of the gameplay is really cool! Good game

A very unique take on the detective genre. I personally found this one too hard after level 2 - I don't have enough interrogations to pinpoint the exact time of death, although that might just be me. The concept of a randomly generated murder case is very interesting and should be expanded upon with more features.
