Very good game, good job
if you like to play my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574240
Thanks for playing!
This is pretty unique idea, It's just outstanding how you managed to pull this off in a week.
thanks! To be honest I really only used 6 of the days :P
Did you even sleep?
Lol yeah I did. A bit less than usual but I did
It's addictive! Just display the final criminal in case one was wrong :)
Thanks for playing that a great idea
I really liked this! Very unique take and I like how much you built up the world around it! Doesn't feel like it was made in a week at all, there's lots going on here!
Thanks for playing. I had fun coming up with Holetown
Really cool game. Really liked the pixel art and the music!
Thanks the art was made by me the music was not however. Heres a link If you or anyone else wants it https://opengameart.org/content/lasso-lady-seamless-loop
Unique game , I like it very much. Good job!
Glad you liked it!
Great game, I love "who dunnit" stuff like this. Very creative use of the theme ;)
Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing
Somebody’s poisoned the water hole! I was waititing for someone to say “There’s a snake in my boot.”
Love this art style and this idea. Got the poisoner on my first try.
I did have a funny situation where a guy said the poisoner had on a green hat, and he was the only one with a green hat. Maybe he just really wanted to be locked up.
All in all really fun game. Thanks for sharing. Here’s mine if you haven’t tried it yet.

The overall atmosphere of this game is really well done - the mechanics are interesting as well. Great submission!
Thanks! glad you enjoyed it
Very enjoyable game! Love that you can check there honesty and there is a low amount of moves so you have to trust someone. Very fun and overall a very good game!
Thank you. I tried to make it all about informed decisions and calculated risks. Glad you enjoyed!
A detective game for a game jam? You don't see that everyday! Amazing work and great mechanics. I'm amazed by how simple yet effective the game is!
Thanks for your kind words! My philosophy is that jams are for wacky and unique ideas.
Really nice, I was a bit confused at first it seems that the honesty is very random but after a few goes I managed to find the culprit! Also live the music with the visual! Well done!
yeah honesty is a random percentage
Really enjoyed the game! The one thing I noticed was when you did an action there was no visible indicator of what action you where going to do. Other than that, really fun game!
Thx I was going to have the cursor change but I didn't get around to it
Great game! very innovative in the jam. I would recommend adding a way to cancel the action in case the player makes a mistake when choosing. At one point I clicked on the major then click on accuse, then again on the major and click on verify, when I clicked on another npc I use the action of accusing.
Thanks! I agree
I like this western style ui. It looks very cool
Thanks!
Good game to train your memory.
My highest score 5500 for 7 wins in a row :D
Nice you're the only one to post your score so you are in the lead. for now
Who's to say it wasn't Mayor Holebrook?
The game was pretty fun, and had some interesting depth to it. The gameplay though was a bit too dependent on luck, and I had a few times that the villagers claimed a colour of clothing that wasn't even worn by anyone. In the true sherlock mode, I found myself coming to fifty-fifty odds, with enough conflicting information (and not enough honesty metres) to perfectly pinpoint the culprit. Even when you know the honesty, there's still a chance they are telling the truth and a chance they're lying. There was also one time that multiple people pinned it on a guy who turned out to be innocent (which is kinda cool, but also a run killer).
Finally, I think it'd be cool if at the end, the real culprit was shown, and same with everyone's honesty. It'd be cool to know who tricked you and who dunnit.
I aree. Sometimes you just get tough luck and everyone is lying to you. also that last idea is great! Thanks for Playing
aha i always catch the bandits xD. nice game man and its all fully working
you have been promoted to sherrif
Loved the graphics and music. It really fit with the atmosphere of the game!
Thanks (sorry I couldn't rate your) :P
Nice game. Fun to play.
Glad you liked it
