How does you game fit the theme?
You are not alone.. there is a murderer among you! So you are not alone as in only good guys.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did everything myself except the visuals and the background music.

Such a cool idea! I love this mystery story
Good game!
Nice game!
I couldn't actually solve the mistery; I feel like some of the "depositions" could be worded more clearly, but that may be on me.
After finding out who the murderer is, the story actually does make sense; the graphics are also pretty nice!
Thanks for playing. Ye I get it, i didnt want to make it to obvious, but also not to hard. It's hard to balance it in 48hrs. But that you say it makes sense when you saw the hints gives me joy. Glad you liked it!
Creative entry! Smooth controls and well laid out mystery, props to you!
It REALLY had be rack my brain around for a while, as I double checked everyone's alibis and recognized the chicken as a red herring. It came down between the friend and the maid, since nobody verified where the friend was at the time and the maid claimed they were in the bedroom, but the bed isn't made, but the friend did verify that the maid was in the bedroom. I knew that there was something suspicious about the cigars, but didn't realize that they were the murder weapon, and that some kind of potion must've been used for the poisoning. Also recognized that it couldn't have been the gardener, because why would a gardener need to steal a book on plants? And it couldn't have been the chef, because if it was, why wouldn't he use his own potion desk? And the maid was the only one in the bedroom at the time, as verified by the friend. So, by process of elimination, yes, the maid.
What I'm saying is, it's AMAZING that you were able to cram so much thought into a Game Jam game!!!
Thank you so much for the review! I really appreciate it. Yes it was hard to balance the story in 48 hrs and not make it to hard nor to obvious. Glad you liked it!
Hello. It was so cool! rated! Please check mine, too.
I had a nice experience playing this game and had a lot of fun! I really liked the pixel art even though you could highlight the characters a little bit more sometimes from the background since it's kinda difficult to distinguish them. Really liked the music but I feel like the game could use a little bit more audio for the interactions (just nitpicking here xD). The concept and idea of the game was really original!
In general, I really loved the game and the idea and had a lot of fun playing it! Good job and congrats on finishing and submiting your work!
Thanks for the amazing review! I'll check yours for sure! Thank you very much
good game! We'd appriciate if you rate our game too! cheers!
Really cool game! I usually don't like mistery games but that one was fresh and short
It's a great game
I love the idea and the name of the street(brackey)
I love mystery games like this so much and this was a fun one. I ended up choosing “wisely”, but it was close. I also was suspicious of the gardener. :) The artwork was great and the music was really nice, it reminded me of Fable. As others have mentioned, it was a little hard to find exits. I almost missed the chicken coop entirely (though I think that area wasn’t totally necessary to the puzzle.) All in all really great game, I hope to see more of this kind of thing in future jams. Thanks for sharing. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yes I participated on 6 game jams nows and I just can't get that resolution right. I don't know how to fix it correctly. So I put a "click the blue full screen button" in the details of the game. Still a lot of people miss it hihi. Glad you liked it!
Had fun playing ! Great to see this type of game in the Jam :) Well done !
Neat little mystery! I didn't even pick up on a few of the details until after I got it right, but it was fun finding the pieces that made it come together :)
Very fun game! I love mysteries and searching for clues!!
Good mystery with a logic conclusion. Controls are good and the aesthetics are pleasing.
The graphic get really bad when scaled to a 4k screen though. The walls when exiting sideways could have been a little thicker to make the exit more clear
Pretty interesting concept, though the outcome was kinda confusing, to avoid spoilers I wont go into much detail, The graphics look cool and its always nice to see mystery in jams
