Really gorgeous game, well done!
Thank you WayneMadeAGame! We appreciate it :)
wow, I just have to say the art is breathtaking. really really good job!!!!
Many thanks for the art compliment, MeniMeno! I'm really glad you liked it. It means a lot to me ^^
This game is so good for a game made in 7 days.
Thank you so much, Triple Z Team! We really appreciate it :)
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!
Thanks for your kind words, SUPERBLOOM! We're glad that the clue-saving system works well for you :D Great job on getting the endings, and thanks for playing our game! ^^
This game is so good, i had a lot of fun ^^
Thanks Kiograh! We're glad you enjoyed playing our game :)
I would make a terrible detective... Very nice art and the investigation experience was really fun!
We're glad to hear that we were able to make the investigation experience decent! Thanks for playing, tyruji :D (trust me, I would be a bad detective too and send all the innocent to jail ^^;)
I absolutely loved the game! It's so clean! Everything is amazing, from graphics to game design.
GG! ♫
Thank you very much for your kind words, Morganepr! We really appreciate it :)
Pixel art is cute! The environmental sounds are nice.
I enjoyed the guessing game with simple controls!
Thank you Tanaka! :) We're glad you enjoyed our game, we really appreciate it!
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!)
Great game,Your game pixel art look cool, very harmony! Amazing teamwork.
Thanks KaiCi! I appreciate your nice comments about the art; it makes me happy ^^ I'm also very pleased to see that my jam partner and I were able to work together so well :)
I had a blast playing this! The artstyle is amazing and the story is very compelling! Awesome work :D
Thanks a lot Finn!! :) We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our game, we really appreciate it!
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
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.
really solid game! really loving this art style too! great jam submission!
Thanks Lander! I'm really glad to hear that you like the art style :) It means a lot to me.
Wow very nice!
Felt like a game that i could pay money for!
Well done!
Aww, this means a lot to us :) Thank you for taking the time to play our game, SGTEMO!
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!
Thanks for all the honest feedback Kev! We really appreciate it :) Theme integration was definitely one of the most challenging parts of planning this game. Thanks for pointing that out!
Yeah I have yet to feel great about me nailing theme on any jam personally
This is a very hard thing to pull off, but I think you nailed it! I loved reading all the different endings.
Thanks for the feedback, vosty! We tried our best to make the game a decent experience for everyone, and we are glad that it worked out! We're also aware that the endings required a lot of reading, but we're glad you enjoyed it! We really appreciate it :)
Overall a really good investigation game. It has everything you would want.
