Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we did. Except stars and cursor.

Fun game and a very cool art style. I’d say the highlight of objects is a bit confusing at times, but clear enough to play with no problems. I liked it a lot!

nothing is better than going through being a reaper and a detective, i have sucked all their souls, may they rest in peace.

Fun game! I enjoy the art design, only thing I would say is that some of the evidence is very small and hard to click on/see. Also, the mouse is slightly confusing as sometimes you can't click on something because you don't know where the actual mouse is relative to the scythe. Overall though, good game.

As the saying goes, the god is not an old man sitting on the cloud, the god is a freaking circle

nice game with an unusual concept. It's always cool to try something new. It was interesting to play

I like the black and white theme, combined with the eerie piano in the background makes it more thrilling to find out, what or who is behind all those murders. Very well designed game, it's enjoyable.

Cool project! I love the idea of solving a mystery and I love the atmosphere of the game!

Good game! I like the idea and the graphics looked nice. I think there might be a bug when you open the credits in the main menu. At least in the web version, which is the one I played. I had to restart the game once. Thought you probably wanted to know! Other than that, it played pretty well.

Hey, awesome game, I like the way you weeved a mystery into it and how it all tied together. Plus I like how the evidence was blended in well to the environment and not too obvious, I kinda felt like a real detective, great job!

The dark atmosphere is very well-executed, and the narrative/history is entertaining. The theme is undoubtedly fulfilled.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Really cool art style and mood. But I wonder as well, what is the 3rd evidence in the first room? I couldn't find it ._.

Developer (1 edit)

It's under the canvas right side of the room. If you stuck you can look at the chart on the game page. I already wrote it every one for you :) Thank you for your comment

Ah I see, now i found it
