This game feels so amazing. Wish it had more levels to do.

Developer

Us too! We were considering adding more levels at first, but scoping down was the only way we could finish on time.

This is a really great game and i love the concept, for some reason it didnt work on my pc so i couldnt get past the tutorial but i really enjoyed the idea of it 

Developer

Hmm... did you try playing the webGL version by any chance? If so, the download version should run a lot smoother on your PC. Give it a try sometime!

THIS GAME HAS ITS PARTS SO WELL MADE IT ALL FLOWS SO NATURALLY, THE MUSIC, THE NOIR ATMOSPHERE, THE VOICE ACTING AND THE SIMPLE MECHANIC!

Developer

Thank you!

WOW! The concept itself and interpretation for the theme is really smart and cool, i love how the graphics, soundtracks and voices really blend well together, it really created that vintage feel, the game play is interesting and keeps you on your feet trying to connect lines that would sound like the perfect alibi, overall what a unique game that's fun to solve and the atmosphere it gives is really amazing, CONGRATS on such a well made game!

Thank you so much for the praise, and congrats to you as well on a great game!

Amazing Game! Loved everything, the art, design, concept, mechanics and sound. This game looks really polished. Played every level and the CAT MODE is AWESOME!  ヽ(=^・ᆺ・^=)丿

The only thing bugging me is when you have to record short words (like I & at)  it just record the next word as well, maybe because I'm playing webGL.

Overall this game is really Well Done! Please keep developing this game in the future. ヽ(=^・ω・^=)丿

Developer

Yeah, the WebGL version is kind of buggy at the moment. We're glad you enjoyed the game otherwise! ヽ(=^・ᆺ・^=)丿

Feels very polished. Only some smaller phrases were very hard to get recorded, which was a pain in the ass. The idea is nice and innovative. I think a lot of people came up with the idea of casettes and rewinding, but nothing like this. Seems like you have a team behind this with all the voice acting and final polish.

Developer

Yeah, timing the smaller phrases is pretty tough. We learned a lot from making this, though, so I think we can fix it for next time.

I loved this game, its very polished and fun!

Developer

Thanks!

Great game! I like the voice acting, art style, and the concepts to finding the hidden message. Would be cool to have a slow motion button on the recording. Had a hard time recording the small words. I probably have bad timing skills lol.

Slow motion was something I considered after the jam was done. It's certainly something to think about for next time. Thanks for the feedback!

Toggle cat FTW!  Love it. Major style. I only hope you guys take this and run with it. Would like to see a 3D style game in the vain of The Stanley Parable one day. Keep up the great work!

Developer

Toggle cat is life. Thank you for checking out the game! The discord community was so important to keeping us sane as the hours wound down. lol.

I like your game, its challenging and intriguing at the same time, i like the over all look and feel it's consistent, looks like made by a real pro

Developer

Thanks! We tried to polish it up as much as possible.

Pretty good game, I like a lot the atmosphere of the game and the way you applied the rewind. It looks like a very professional game.

Developer

Thanks!

Cheeky and fun! Made me laugh quite a bit... I was a bit stuck at the start about what I was supposed to be doing, I guess I didn't totally understand the slang at the start...

I wish I could play the rest of the puzzles before getting the ending though!

Developer(+1)

we wanted to make sure people saw the ending before giving up. We know many people will only play a game for about 5-10 minutes max. You can always go back and play the rest after the credits; or better yet, play them in CAT MODE!!!

what a creative twist on thte theme! great work

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

The 4 of you made a pretty good team. I didn't know i'd end up playing the whole game

Developer

We're glad to hear you played the whole way through! If you have any specific feedback about the controls or puzzles/cases, please let us know.

Honestly the only thing is that the coffee cup model seemed to stand out from the rest of the theme. Not the fact that there was a coffee cup, but just the one that was there

Developer

We made it bright red intentionally to add a bit of color to the scene, but maybe it was too much?

Submitted(+1)

Wow, i was not expecting this theme for this jam! You made such a great work with the detail of rewinding! Simple and precisely. This is a amazing job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We took a few hours during the first day to bounce around ideas before starting dev work.

Super Super Detailed game, Idk how you did that you such a awesome! the game is quite difficult,

good job mate!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

I absolutely loved this game!  The vibe, the music, the mysterious feeling about it.  Plus you did a great job incorporating the rewind theme into it.  Great job!! Best of luck!

Developer

Thank you!

Amazing Game! The amazing voice over and the dark theme, I like it so much! Also the grapich is cool. I should leave it on the main page butwhat  i want to say is that the display has some bug, especially when you use ALT + TAB in game.

Developer

Hmm... Thanks for letting us know! I'll take a look.

Submitted(+1)

The game is beautiful, it took a long time to load here, but I believe it is because of the quality of the textures. The quality is visible, it looks like a game developed in months! Congratulations on the work, it was really good.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much.
