Great game! I love the idea, but I think sometimes there is a bug happening and I need to get out of range of a task and then come back to do it. And also atmosphere is amazingly conveyed through art, music and sfx. Good job!
Thanks you
I really like the idea, but unfortunately the gameplay is very rough. There’s some bug which means you can’t interact with items half the time, it’s almost impossible to wipe bloodstains, and it’s very unclear where to hide the knife. Since you can’t drop the knife once you pick it up, not knowing where to hide it also prevents you from taking care of other clues in the meantime, which is basically a death sentence.
Interesting concept, you have to be strategic about how you move to win.
Sometimes I couldn't interact with clues, and on level one I still went away, but on level 3 I got caught. Also hiding the knife wasn't intuitive, I thought cupboard should be an ideal place, but it was the carpet :D
Looks beautiful! A really interesting idea. Good job!
I love the 1-bit graphics, the directional sprites feel very smooth and it never was unclear how the movement was proceeding. It seems the colliders are bit "wonky" but once you know you can just take a step back and retry, everything worked fine ^-^ Very engaging for such a simple game, well done !!!
loved the mood you created in the game, however i encountered some bugs like how i couldn't interact with some things despite being interactable. but nice work overall!
Absolutely loved the artstyle and the atmosphere to this game! Very addictive and interesting as well.
Thanks you!
Love the art, good job :)
cool atmosphere
The art style is really good and the idea is also amazing. But as the one below me I couldnt wap the blood for some reason it took ages. The rest of it is perfect. My game is down here if you want to take a look :)
Sure! Thanks you for playing!
Outside of a few things like the wiping being a bit unresponsive, it's quite well made and polished ! The presentation is really good too for the idea, great job !
Thanks you so much!
really enjoyed the concept - but there seemed to be a few bugs with the hit boxes with certain tasks. I couldn't interact with some yet still apparently got away when time ran out.
Yes sometimes there's this bug with items, sorry.
Super fun
Nice and fancy game :)
Thanks you!
what a neat idea for a game i love this lol, rated it well :) you should give my game a chance!
sure! Thanks you!
i didn't mean to do it, but i must've accidentally cut that poor man's head off with my easy bake oven knife. i panicked so i tried to find somewhere to hide it, not realizing i could've just washed it and stored it with the other utensils. the cops found me scrambling around the room and arrested me. tonight i woke up in jail and i think i'll be waking up in the state penitentiary from now on.
Haha I hope it's just a story, not the real life, yeah?
I liked the atmosphere of the game a lot, time limit puzzle game really give the player the experience of rushing to clean everything after the crime. It felt good to play, really!!
really good presentation, atmosphere, and concept! got a little confused after i picked everything up, then just had to wait til the police came? sorta weird that I had to finish out the timer and had finished. i thought i still had stuff to clean.
Haha yes you're right. We thought about it, but i think it doesn't really matter too much. Thanks for playing, we apreciate that very much!
Very good art style and interesting idea, good job!
The music and art style create a very convincing atmosphere for this game. Great job!
