Nice.Rate my game also.

Unique game idea and nice concept. The dialogues are very entertaining. I love the sounds ecspecially the background music, it is  so cosy and relaxing and fits well with the theme of the game.

Submitted

Aesthetics of this game are amazing! Although I must say the text and especially the intro text is way too slow, but otherwise, really neat. I'd appreciate it if you would check out my game too!

Nice mood and style! Reminded me of "Papers, Please".

The detective/interrogation work was interesting, though I wasn't sure what to do after I had grilled each of them once and talked about the new subject with the others. Didn't find any new dialogue to follow up on. I suspect Goldie did it, but couldn't prove it.

The text could go faster, and maybe even have the option of just having the text pop up at once. And I wish there was more to do during the interrogation, like pointing out discrepancies in their stories by asking certain questions in the right order (in one answer Shylock pretended not to know Digger's wife, but in other answers he clearly knew her well).

Not sure how the "holes" theme was present here, unless you mean the holes in the suspects' stories or the bullet holes in Mr. Digger's body. I do like detective games, though, so I'm happy you made one. The story, characters and the mechanics were interesting. Good work!

Thanks first of all! Lucas Pope is a big inspiration of mine, glad people see the influence. Yeah once you grill them all you can hit the 'pin' button on one of the suspects in the menu to see if you got it right, could probably make that clearer. Our idea with theme was exactly that, holes in the stories, also glad someone caught the pun with the holes in his body lol. Thanks for the writeup, we appreciate the feedback!

The pin button is clear! I pinned all the suspects, got three endings. I just thought there would be a possible better ending if you pinned Goldie with enough evidence.

It's sadly preset who commit the murder. What we wanted to do was have it be randomized every time you play but we didn't have time to write all that dialogue in a week plus the code and art. Really appreciate you playing all the way through 3 times though that's really cool of you!

Submitted

Great game! The text and transitions can be a bit faster tho. But good work overall!

Developer

Thanks! We had a text speedup feature in the development build but it didn't work in the openGL version sadly :(

Submitted

What a gorgeous game! Excellent work especially in the dialogue. The text speed did feel a little slow even when sped up for me, but still amazing atmosphere and writing!

Submitted

Very well-put together game, kept me involved the whole time I was playing it.  Sure hope I got it right!

Submitted

Excelent game, short but interesting.

Submitted

Great graphics and audios :D

I love the art style. Very creepy, very noir. Funny too. 

Submitted

The atmosphere of the game is very good. The introduction was very long. If you want to play it again you need a skip button.

Very good job!

Loving the theme, reminds a bit of "Interrogation: You will be deceived" hopefully you continue on this. 

Submitted

Love the atmosphere and the art! Playing on Chrome the sides and top of the screen were cut off a bit during the interrogation, so missed a couple of words, but loved the feel of the game. Good work! Check out my submission if you get time. Cheers! 

Developer

NOTE : the speed text seems to be bugged on certain browsers, not sure what's causing this error. 

Developer

I apologize in advance for the 3 minutes of your life that will be lost to our slow ass text speed.

Submitted

Cool work! The tone and atmostphere was so sick!

Submitted

Awesome art and music! I loved the feel and the setting.

Great work!

Your submission was great too! Thanks for rating :)

Submitted

I love the atmosphere of this game. I am not much of a person that enjoys detective games like these but I really appreciate the nuance of the art design, scene changing, ui, and music is really chill. I always like to see the voice blarble in games. I think this is a pretty good submission. 

Developer

Thanks! I'll check yours out later today

Submitted

Wow a lot of reading! (Ironically coming from me, who always implements reading in games) but hey, I am always up for detective work... ;)

Developer

Ayy thanks! Yeah it's definitely heavy on the dialogue, I hope it's not too much for a jam game. I know most people's attention span when playing submissions can be like 10 seconds sometimes so hopefully people stick it out and suffer to enjoy the art at least :)
