Cute cozy game! I struggled to figure out what to do at first. I didn't know that clicking on words would add them to my list of clues. Could be just because I don't play many games like this, but some more guidance to noobs like me could be helpful. But I still enjoyed the experience and was proud when I solved the mystery. :) Good work!

Developer

Thank you so much! 

Would you be interested in playing the full version of this game?

Excellent stuff! Quickly played through it. Now we need to get to know all these characters.

Whoa!! Thank you so much!

I love your game too! :D

I enjoyed this cute game. The artwork is beautiful (really wanted to see more!), and I was curious to check out what was in the room. I liked the puzzle/mystery aspect, although some of the clues threw me off, so I did end up guessing a little. I misinterpreted a clue about scheduling because I was thinking about the weekend. It feels like a polished intro to an interesting story-driven game.

Developer

Thank you so much! Yes this is demo/intro for the full game. It's a story-driven cozy-wholesome detective game :)

Cute detective game! There was a short period of trying to understand what to do in the beginning, but it also felt like a part of the story. Somehow, the leftover soup mystery was the hardest, although there was a clear hint. :) I Enjoyed the game a lot, thank you!

Developer

Aw thank you!

Wow! I really liked this entry! Good job! 

Amazing visuals. 

I was sad when it finished. I would've liked some more mysteries  :3

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Will add more cases in the future!

Visuals were amazing, the deduction felt clever, and you actually had to think rather than just clicking around until you have all the info. Well done! 

Developer

Thank you so much!

Nice work!  I was initially a little lost, but I generally find that fun so I enjoyed the absence of a tutorial or detailed instructions.  The need to make inferences about the date and schedule, e.g., also made it more fun (in contrast to just gathering info), I liked that.  The artwork is really beautiful  and professional (it looks like you have graphics credits to others, but I assume the scenes and items to investigate are yours).   Some hopefully helpful feedback for further development:  the gear in the upper right doesn't seem to work for me.   Having played the game, the thumbnail image also remains a mystery -- perhaps a planned character/items/interaction that didn't make it for the deadline?  Nice job!

Developer

Thank you so much! I will fix the gear button after the game jam ends.

Yes they're all characters that will appear in future cases~

The art is mostly done by me, but some assets are photoshop-filtered from public domain images :)

This is a great entry that makes really good use of the optional detective theme! I'm a big fan of logic puzzles so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that this game not only had them, but considerably challenging ones at that. The visuals were cute and polished, matching the standard of quality of a professional release so it's impressive that you were able to make this in such a short amount of time. If you decide to develop this into a full game I'll definitely be giving it a purchase. Fantastic work!

Developer

Wow, thank you so much!

I definitely plan on finishing this into a full game!

This game is artistically stunning. I agree with every other comment here about the art style, it's just beautiful. This game oozes polish! One thing I think would have been beneficial was a bit of a indication of what the player is supposed to do. After aimlessly clicking for a bit did I finally understand I was supposed to be clicking on the highlighted words, for some reason I just thought the underline was an artistic choice of things I had to remember rather than gathering words for a word bank.  This may be my inexperience with whodunnit's with plentiful information to sift through (in this case the times, locations, events and names) to connect things but I found the case to be a bit difficult hehe. I was suuuper proud of myself for putting it together and it definitely provides engaging gameplay, you could do many things with this. Music is great too, cute

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Definitely need to add some kind of an instruction on how to play the game.

Really cool game to play! Figuring out the answer from the little clue is so enjoyable! I love the artstyle and music, it brings such a nice cozy feel to the game! Well done :D

Very cute and beautiful artwork! Some of the items in the scene didn't quite match the background artwork, would love to have those drawn in the same style. I also found the puzzle a bit difficult, but the name was really satisfying to get because of the the little hint. The other one was a little slim on the hints, but overall very polished! 

Developer

:D Had to make do with filtered public domain images, but will definitely replace those images in the final demo version.

Thanks for the review!

Very cute art and style, and nice music as well. I really liked the journal system for solving the puzzle, it was very fun and engaging! I haven't played The Case of Golden Idol but it reminded me a little of Chants of Senaar.
