I didn't really get the second, and third watch riddle. No idea if I answered things correctly either, but this was really good. I know the name and raven with the name is a reference to a piece of literature, but I don't remember which. Thanks for making this cool game!

That's was a cool way to present a crime scene and let the player explore details about it. Reminds me a bit of the deduction board games that are out there. The game kept me thinking about the case and how it went down, worked really well. I was stumped at 1-2 of the riddles, not really sure what it references - gladly there were tipps. Well done.


 I suppose Forevermore and bird is a nudge at Poe's Raven, which I don't know well but when I looked up I realized I actually do know the text somewhat from the song The Raven from Omnia. Tmyk.

A really interesting concept. I loved the idea of walking further into the past or the future to explore. And using schematic floorplans to repesent the house was a stroke of genius, especially in a jam.

Well done!

I enjoyed the intro/prologue to the controls and the game, very stylish and well written story, with good graphics and gameplay mechanics. Well done, I definitely see this as a bigger game.

What a super creative presentation! The time-travel format reminds me of Return of the Obra Dinn. I love the Clue Board-esque layout (and a very clever way to create a game with a minimum of resources). Plus it was really fun--and perfectly timed--running along the prologue text. I think I would have enjoyed a more complex mystery though--perhaps you can use this same basic format to do bigger games in the future.

Very cool and interesting style. I'm afraid I didn't have enough patience for all the reading and thinking.

I like the concept of the game. It's far from perfect but the mystery and time travel element are really interesting.

I love the mechanics of this game - I think I'll be daydreaming about how they could be applied to a larger game for a while :)

The style, writing, and unique mechanics of this game came together to create something really memorable. Well done taking the concept of this jam in a fresh direction!
