Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself. The audio was made by me also. The 3D models were gotten from the asset store however,

Nice take on the theme, and it's fun to play as well. I think a tutorial at the beginning would be very helpful though. Good work!

Simple but interesting game mechanic!

Some background music would make the atmosphere more interesting.

Great work on making this game mechanic :)

Developer

Thank you! I wanted music, but I had trouble finding music that fit.

Great detective game, pretty hard but no tutorials it make me confusedd when i played XD

Developer

Sorry for the no tutorial part. Lol. I hope that you figured out the game and enjoyed it! If not, read the first paragraph in the description of the game! (:

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you. It is hard to see some of the items. I agree, but that adds a fun challenge in my opinion. (:

This game was a bit confusing. It could have done with a tutorial or some way to tell what you were supposed to do instead of throwing you right in.

Developer

I agree. I should have made a tutorial. To help you out though, in this game, you go through the footage and click on only the items that go missing throughout it. The controls are in the description. (:

Submitted

It's completely understandable. There's obviously a huge time constraint in these jams, and sometimes plans just fall through. That sounds like a really cool idea, and I see it now in your description. If you didn't know, you can edit your description after the jam starts. I would recommend adding the instructions on how to win a bit more prominently. I'll get back to you on the other stuff after I've played it a bit more.

Developer

Ok, thank you!

Submitted

I really like the mechanic but I found it confusing as to what I was actually supposed to do

Developer

In this game, you have to look through the footage and click only the items that go missing throughout the footage. I hope this helps!

Submitted

Oh! I almost had it then, thanks

Developer

Yeah! No problem!

Submitted

Great game!! Very cool! :D
