I wasn't quite sure what my goal was? I slept twice, but could not sleep again, and did not get any closer to solving a case. That being said, the visuals were really impressive. The office was really well laid out, and I loved those newspaper clippings on the corkboard. Did you find those somewhere or make them yourselves? I feel like you had the foundation of something cool here, and I'd love to see how you take it further.

Hey - Thank you for the comment :)
Unfortunately  we did not manage to get the half of the voiced lines in the game and thus the objective is a bit confusing as the goal is mainly communicated via audio to the player. We will be finishing the game by adding the complete audio and mechanics to the game shortly.

The clippings are stock photos of old newspapers from the 40s/50s that we edited so that they fit our theme for the game. There is an easter egg in them that kind of indicates who the game was inspired by ;).

Hmm I was really psyched about this but it has a few problems. Sound, to what you had to do, I slept 2 times, one time fell to see what was going to happen and I got to plane not sure what to do. The aesthetics are very good, I'm missing some objective (apart from solving a case reading some stuff and having nothing to do with it). Please give some insight.

Hey - Thank you for the feedback - unfortunately the light bugged out and the visual isn't what was aimed at though i plan on fixing that and the half of the sounds and mechanics weren't implemented fully since we reached the time limit in order to submit the project. We do plan on fully implementing them fully and hopefully get to the vision we aimed at initially.
