The graphics, especially the shader effects are quite nice, however the movement is aggravating because of the player bouncing off everything.
Coupled with the fact that some guards cannot be sneaked past makes you feel like a ball in a pinball machine. My feedback, either reducing or removing the bounce, or let players sneak past guards to make it a more enjoyable game.
Played your game in this video here at 01:28:35. Didn't get my audio settings quite right so my feedback is a bit, quiet, but hopefully it's still helpful feedback.
Easy to get into the gameplay, actually quite engaging, I wanted to learn who did it even though I couldn't figure it out through the clues. Good sound and visuals, only thing is that the theme is only in the story not in the actual gameplay.
I wasn't sure about the time limit at first but the stress of rushing to find clues added a lot! Really cool concept!
Wow, this is a pretty polished game! It was hard to figure out who the killer was, even with all the clues... But that might be a issue with the player :P
I found the visual effects well worked, the music is good and the idea is cool. I liked it, congratulations.
