Simple, but fun game with great potential for generating interesting stories. The artstyle and sound design are superb, making the game feel good to play. The only problem I have is that the game generated an impossible case for me twice in a row, so you may want to fix that if you're going to make it into a full release. Other that that, great job!

I really liked the game and the theming was done well.

An absolutely amazing game and a funny concept! Feels super polished and clean, there was never any ambiguity as to what is happening and I love that the characters are randomly generated for some replay value. A great little number!

Cool concept. Love the art and the UI, it's super clear what to do. Great detective game.

This is great, very easy to pick up and play through. Love the art style as well - brilliant job!

Great idea, beautifully scoped.

Amidst all the chaos of developing and then wanting to play so many games, gems like these are a godsend. Chilled, smooth gameplay that quickly puts a smile on my face. I found myself wishing it was longer, so I stalled submitting the final piece of evidence until I'd uncovered everyone and their various traits.

Only things I'd want, other than more content, is some music/ white noise and that the completion text be black (I struggled to read it with the white background)

apart from the unsolvable case bug, pretty nice time! Only thing id recommend would be for the player to make their own deductions instead of just clicking  through the list of character traits. overall, nice game!

I loved the concept behind this! And the connecting strings system was really engaging!
