(Game spoilers below!)

A joke game, but a bit more of a joke than a game. Might be fun to expand this into an actual game with a randomized murder scenario or at least a more indepth story.

As it is, it's very short and linear: All you have to do is talk to all four villagers, collect all four evidences, and talk to Isn'tbelle. The detective will then make it pretty clear what the true answer is.

This game was an adorable bit of fun! Clever writing, good visuals and sound. Interface was straightforward.

The controls for the player felt... sticky. Like they were heavy to move around, it's hard to describe. 

For some reason the player would crouch every time they were near certain geometry. This didnt seem to serve any purpose so not sure why it was there.

Collision in the game felt buggy. I was getting stuck on things where i shouldn't have (particularly trees).

Seems like progression isn't lost when restarting the game.

Good fun overall!

Very nice how the visual style mimics actual Animal Crossing games, and the references to them throughout are amazing (I remember being SO STOKED when some penguin or other wore a t-shirt I made). Like SAGiggs says below, it's a bit of a leap from "everyone fucking hated the mayor for a good reason" to "____ did it", maybe instead have an option to guess "you all did it"? Either way, the references and humour are all spot on.

***VAGUE HINTS AT SPOILERS BELOW***

Pros:

• Funny premise and well written
• Appropriate design and visuals
• Good use of theme in a more realistic interpretation of the series

Cons:

• A few incidental bugs
• Good end is a bit of a leap considering what is given in game

Here & There:

This is a really cool entry and the fact that it's so short isn't a detraction. It gets where it needs to go for the purpose and doesn't dawdle which is real easy to do with a game like this. That being said, the good-end decision I feel is more of a "this is what I presume the person making this game would design" rather than "the evidence supports this hypothesis", so it could maybe use some harder to find hints at the truth rather than relying on inductive reasoning by the player. I really liked that the Detective crouched when forced by the building geometry, despite its seemingly absolute lack of necessity. Maybe creating a database of juvenile curse words to use in place of the town name and character could be cool if this were expanded, but I understand that it's a specific "this is what kids do" sort of thing so variation wouldn't affect it much. Great job, floteam!

It was cute, funny, and didn't overstay it's welcome. I got I believe the "good" ending.

If you're going to keep at this, I'd like to able to interact with the townspeople more, maybe question them LA Noire style.
