Great work!
Thanks.
Intriguing concept with a very unique aesthetic. The story is rolled out at a good pace on both sides, and I found myself making choices just to see how the other side would unfold. Very well executed presentation overall. Excellent job :)
Thanks. Yup, that was the whole purpose. Even tho the game is short, the amount of branches makes more than enough for it.
Amazing game! ✨
This has to be one of the best games of the jam!
The art style is gorgeous, the music creates a haunting atmosphere.
The gameplay is simple, but effective. The switching of sides actually puts an interesting spin on the murder mystery, because you know what the police knows and how to hide your evidence as the murderer, while knowing where to find clues as the detective.
The whole game works really well together! Amazing job! ☺️
Thank you. Yeah, it basically makes you choose to whom to sympathize the most 😅.
doing my part in fixing the injustice of this having so few ratings. what a phenomenal game.
expressive backgrounds and character portraits, music sets the perfect mood, writing that gripped me from the first few lines and made sure i stay until the end :) the ui changing together with the perspective switch is a genius touch as well.
the endings may be abrupt, sure, but damn is this a fine game even if you completely forget it's made in 48 hours. which, to be honest, is very easy to forget.
thank you for the experience!
Thanks! Idk, is hard to tell what is deserved and what it's not. We will see during the final results what people thought 😅.
THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC, by far the best of the 30 or so I've played. I love the art style, the separation of the red/blue, the distinct characters, and the tone set by the music. If I could spell "astetic" I would compliment that too.
The writing is *chef's kiss*. It's concise, insightful, and full of gritty character (tasteful F-bomb). I love how starting with the killer makes me feel like I'm rooting for the killer.
Branching paths are always difficult to implement, but choosing to not make the options quickly remerge pays off in feeling like every choice matters.
Good job!
Oww, thanks, buddy. Your kind words are so heartwarming it's hard to accept them 😄
Great aesthetic and music direction, it blends well with the story being told. Good job!
Yup, we tried really hard to blend them properly, and I think we succeded. Thanks for the feedback.
This is an interesting game! I like being able to play both sides and see the story unfold from different perspectives. Nice job!
Thanks!
This is a fantastic game. The art is full of character, and getting to see both sides of the story play out little by little is very compelling. Well done!
Thank you.
Love the graphics and the two very distinc atmosphere you've managed to create ! I didn't understand everything in the story, neither if there was good and bad choices to make.
They weren't meant to be "good or bad", but more of what kind of good or bad 😅. Thanks for feedback.
Wow, now that's a quality game for such a short time window.
I love the duality between what you do to hide the crime as the murderer, and what you do to catch him as the detective! And you added a lot of different story branches too.
Visually, it's beautiful, love the art style! The audio goes well with it too.
Congrats to the team! =D
Thanks! We did our best to make the game shine 💪.
This one has such a cool vibe. How'd y'all complete this one in 2 days!??? it's very impresive.
Even the story unfolds in such a cool way. The artstyle is unique and very well crafted, same with the music.
One of my favorite submissions by far.
You guys make us blush 😳
HEY HELLO WHAT ??? This game was so, so incredibly atmospheric -- art, music, sound, writing were married PERFECTLY, and what a cool concept!! Honestly adored this one, I have to agree with the commenter below me that it's one of my favourites I've seen for sure.
Thanks. I do hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Well done! I played it through and I really liked it. Seeing the story unveil from both the views while admiring the great art work was an amazing experience. Great game, one of my favorites so far!
Thanks. This means a lot 💙
THE ART IS SO GOOD, this game vibes with me frrrr :)
Much appreciate :3
