How does your game fit the theme?
It's about solving the mysteries behind each door. The doors in the game symbolize deaths. We are the Grim Reaper and we don't know how the murder behind each door happened and we try to solve it. In doing so, we continue our mission as the Grim Reaper.

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

The nice art style and music set the tone well. The gameplay is easy to understand with a good narrative. Great job to you and your team :D

Smooth animations, good story. I liked it.

Developer

Thank you!

I liked the art style. I don't even know if it was intentional or because of time constraints, but I think the lack of "real" animations adds to the weirdness (in a positive sense) and overall atmosphere of the game. Also, I loved the music; very effective at setting the tone of the game. Sometimes the outlines of the clues and bodies were a bit glitchy or hard to see, but other than that, it was a very creative project. Good job.

Developer

Thank you so much for your comment and feedback! You re so right about the outlines of the clues and bodies by the way we couldn't fix due to time constraint but its playable anyway!

But the style of the game was awesome!

Well done!

This is a really nice point and click adventure game, it looks really good and each door feels like a unique new story
I feel like the problem with this mechanic is that it's not very clear what you're looking for, I ended up spam clicking every level until it highlighted the object I was looking for since I found out that's the best way to find evidence
Now I think the idea of investigating a room like this is really good, but seeing as all look very similar to each other it felt like clicking every object until you make it
Not to say that your game is bad though, I still enjoyed the story and environment, and I know how difficult it is to go for 3D in gamejams, so I must give you extra points for that, well done!
