Game description
A procedural series of murder mysteries where one of the cards you're dealt is the killer!
Theme interpretation
I decided to make a game where there is a killer whose identity is a secret.

Creative puzzle game with it's own unique art style. Being puzzle and board game fans, this is right up our alley. Really well executed.
Nice work. This is a really polished entry and it had nice touches all the way through. Every detail and feature really come together and enhanced the experience that still would be fun even if everything were pared-down to wireframes. This game is a delight and really impressive to see executed to this level in a game jam~!
This is a fun game. The audio fit very well with the art style. The gameplay is very unique and fits the theme perfectly.
A lot of the time it's a random chance guess because the cards do not provide enough information but having multiple rounds adds more depth to gameplay.
Superb game that fits the theme perfectly. I liked everything in it, mechanics, graphics music, sound effects. It all felt fresh and appealing.
The procdedural set up is nice to make many runs, but it makes the difficulty of the deduction vary from game to game. Maybe a few manually created levels can make a nice progression?
This combines 3 of my favorite things: lil guys, murder mysteries and logic puzzles. Also, jazz is there! Would love to play a full version of this with more guys and bigger parties. I think I'd also label the lightbulb -- I thought it was a hint button so it took me a while to figure out how to start.
This game is incredible! It's so dynamic and polished, and it's really addicting to play. I adore all the monsters (and the cat).
This isn’t just a brilliant idea—it’s an incredibly well-executed one. I’m blown away by every detail in this game, from the interface to the gameplay and atmosphere. It’s pure gold in this jam—WOW. This is an amazing achievement that deserves all the praise. Absolutely stunning
fun and juicy game feel with refreshing take on the established mechanics. the audio and art is a cherry on top which makes the overall experience very enjoyable. great work!
Fantastic! This is a great take on a classic game. Loved the music, sound effects, and graphics. I played way longer than I had planned.
A very good little puzzle game you've got here.
Jazz is relaxing, art is polished, gameplay is solid.
Only thing I could suggest to improve it is maybe have a counter with the round number/number of cases solved within the actual game, rather than just at the end screen.
Smooth entry!
Such a cool and chill game, i really liked the puzzle solving aspect it was clever. i like jazz.
Nice graphics and music! I liked the game as I am a huge fan of Werewolf!
Fun game, great graphics, well done.
This is such a chill game I really enjoyed it!
The ambiance with the graphics, and the jazz music are very cool. As others have said, the UI is very responsive it's very satisfying to place the tokens and hear the little voices.
Also, it's quite innovative, I've played the Werewolves of Millers Hollow and never thought that a similar concept could be translated to a single player game.
Good job :D
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the ambiance, definitely was something I was striving to achieve
Nice simple logic puzzle game. The bounceyiness of the UI is really fantastic and I enjoyed the sound a ton. Also love the cutesy eldritch horror designs, those are exceptional and remind me of like 90s style cartoons (AH real monsters and the like). I feel like the only flaw was there was not more monsters and a lot of the monsters like mimics could just kill anyone as the names were usually fairly generic. I also really enjoyed the smooth jazz and the concept of a minimalist detective game.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Fantastic visuals (the screenshots don't do them justice). Fantastic audio; the voice-sfx were quite and the jazz music made for a very nice vibe. Fantastic use of the theme. Fantastic gameplay.
I would have liked to been able to left click to mark innocent and right click to mark guilty (instead of the double clicking, which felt weird to me) but other than that the controls were good.
It took me something like 10 seconds to understand how the game actually worked. The little hints on the right were just enough for me to understand what to do; kudos.
Again, the music was great. I love the jazz feel with the casual-esque art style. The basic mechanic of deduction was really fun.
Genuinely fun game.
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely could've reworked the marking system haha
I like the smooth animations.
