I really liked the game, it's not too complex so it allows you to relax but still you have to think to find the solution, the graphics are wonderful. Great work

Many thanks for your comments, Raist! We're really glad you enjoyed our game :)
Maybe it's a bad thing to say, but it's one of the best games so far in this Jam! The artwork is great, dialogs are good for a small mystery case and it's great that there are few layers to the mystery! Thank you for sharing this game with us!
Awww thanks so much, that's means a lot to us. There is definitely a lot of good ones out there in this jam. Thank you for taking the time to play our game :D.
The visuals match the tone very well. Good job
Thank you Lordtev, Glad you got the chance to checkout our game :D
Plz do try mine out too
It's on my list of jam games to play. It looks really awesome so can't wait to give it a go :D
This was a great game that was also very complete, the art was especially amazingly adorable and the story/ detective aspect was also very engaging!
Aww thanks so much. I'm glad you found the game to very complete and engaging. The artist did an amazing job during their first jam. Thanks for taking the time to play our game :D
Nice game! I love the art. I wish I could move faster between the rooms. Also, it would be nice to have a hotkey to skip dialog (yeah, I know there is text animation speed setting, but it's not very convenient to go and change it every time I want to skip dialogs). And also, I guess I'm blind, since I haven't found an evidence about who hired the hitman :D
Thanks for playing SmelJey. Thanks for the feedback on the dialog skip I believe it would make a great quality of life improvement to the game :D. Making evidence visible but not give it away, I believed was quite a challenge when come to the design of this game, hopefully if you find the time to try again you'll get it :D. If not we really appreciate you playing and giving the feedback. Thank you so much.
I've never played a detective game before but this was really enjoyable. Most of these games I'm just mindlessly playing but your game actually engaged me! Great job really smooth, fantastic art style with a great palette choice.
Thanks for playing it's the first I've ever made a detective game :D I'm glad the game kept you engaged. The artist did an amazing job and it was also their first game jam! Thanks for taking the time to play our game, we truly appreciate it :)
Good game! This was one of few ive played that felt complete. Detective games are hard to do I worked on one recently and you put this together really well. I like the art too.
Thanks so much, it's the first time I've tried to make a point and click game as well as a detective game. I learnt a lot during this jam as we do with all jams. The artists did amazing and it's their first ever game jam. Thanks for taking the time to play our game :D
Ya no problem just tryen to play as many as i can cause its hard to get people to rate the games :) check out mine if you get a chance it would be greatly appreciated!
It really is hard to check out all games isn't I've got a nice back log of games to play aha. but I'll 100% get to playing yours :D
It feels so polished! My biggest complaint is that the ending part is slow, and I couldn't find a button to speed it up. I want to try to get more endings, but having to sit through the ending text thing every time is a bit boring.
Small problem in an otherwise fantastic game, well done!
Thanks for taking the time to play. I really appreciate the honest feedback on the ending. If i had a second chance to do this again I'd 100% add this quality of life feature. Thanks for the valuable feedback and thanks so much for playing :D
Very cool game! I love the art, it looks amazing!
Thank you :D It was the artists first time ever participating in a game jam. Thank you so much for giving the game a play, appreciate it.
I love this game! It's really good and I love the mystery. I didn't realize I could select more than one piece of evidence until later.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. Funny during our play test we had a user go through all the rooms investigate all the options and really think about his choices only to selected everyone and every option, and it was at this moment we both agreed, we must add a save progression system so players don't have to walk to every clue again aha. Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing :D
Great game, I was there for 45 minutes but I didn't find the culprit, it's probably a skill issue.
However, the game is fun and has nice designs, I would have just added a function to move more quickly between rooms.
Good job.
Thanks so much for playing. I love the idea of being able to move faster between rooms, I agree that It'll make a great quality of life improvement for the player, I appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the game :D
The art was really good! I loved it. The story was also nice. I struggled to understand the information logged by the intercoms, but I managed to solve most of the mistery regardless. It was fun!
Thank you so much! I really loved how the art turned out as well, it was the artists first ever game jam :D Thank you for your feedback on the "intercom system" I'm glad you still managed to solve most of the mystery. Thanks for playing we appreciate it.
It's nice to see another mystery game here! I want to point out that the ART IS SO CUTE OH MY GOD 🥰
This is really a nice work, I liked that it has a lot of different endings, I'd finish one by one if I had time lol
Awww thanks so much! It was the artists first time ever doing a game jam and they did one hell of an amazing job with it :D Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
If I didn't already know that this was a game made for a game jam in a week, then I wouldn't have been able to tell. It is so polished that I would easily believe it could be a full release game
Thank you so much, that's quite a compliment. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game :D
One thing I learned about myself today is that I really shouldn't be detective (in real life).
Great work!
I'm very glad we could help you learn something about yourself, but who knows, you'll never know if you don't try aha. In all seriousnessthanks for playing, we appreciate it.
Really good game!! I love the artstyle
I'm glad you liked it :) It's the artist's first time doing a game jam :D
Great game! The spritework is super cute and the sound design is really well done, the fact that clues save between sessions is also a really good quality of life function. Overall I had a lot of fun going through and getting the endings!
Awww thanks Snowfox, I'm very happy to hear the clue saving was appreciated, it was a big last minute rush to implement aha. The artist who made all the sprites was awesome and it was their first ever game jam :) Thanks so much for playing.
Great Game. Nothing to criticize.
Thanks Jen0do :)
Really good game, I really enjoyed it
Thanks Denis The Menace, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
