How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you are the architect of a mystery that the game will have to solve (as opposed to solving a puzzle handed to you by the game). Craft a narrative with suspenseful hints that the game can pick up on. Or just have fun with the charming quirkiness of the narrative systems.

This is truly the definition of a hidden gem. The gameplay is a bit of a make-it-your-own fun, but if turned into a multiplayer game, it can be a lot of fun! As it stands now... Not really. It was fun the first time watching those fish act the dialogue, though!
Most AAA game WISH they had a UI this clean. Genuinely the most good-looking menus (and fish!) I've seen this jam.
Hey man, sorry for the late reply! Thanks so much for the kind words. I'll hopefully be able to make this feature complete in a few weekends of work. I was having so much fun with the presentation I kind of didn't have time to add the beginning and the end hehe.
Creating the story felt too broad. Really love the presentation and the concept, made me chuckle.
Amazing presentation and style. I would love to hear this story developed further I was so compelled by the narrative arc
I like it but there wasn't much gameplay
Interesting concept! I always love murder mysteries, there wasn't much gameplay, but it was fun playing around with the dialouge, also the visual direction was really cool! felt like a jackbox game . Good job!
(Also if you could check out my game as well it would be highly appreciated :D )
