Cool game with an interesting idea. It was very nice to see voice acting. About cons: you have a wrong voice file in the last interview, also I found one part confusing: spoiler.
Whoa, this was pretty cool and very ambitious! We failed miserably because we missed a “no” in a certain place, oopsie, but otherwise, we had a lot of fun with this. Maybe a bit too much scope if you’re not into this sort of game, but we are, so, I’m glad this exists! :)
oh wow, a detective game where you play as a bad actor in the case? Thats amazing, im surprised no one has ever done something like that before. Voice acting is something thats very much rare to see in a game made so quick, but you NAILED it. I adore the feel that the minimalist style gives it, I'd love to see more of this type of game somewhere one day.
Probably the most unique game of the jam. I liked the minimalist yet clean presentation, and the voiced interviews were a nice touch. Congrats!
really interesting game! and i like the mechanics of the game
Loved it! Clean yet deep!
Fun subversion of a detective adventure game. You were definitely able to accomplish a lot with a minimal presentation. Might benefit from a few quality-of-life tools down the line, like maybe bookmarking emails you want to reference again. Hope you keep fleshing it out! Well done :)
Really cool concept. I had a good time!
Un punto de vista mas narrativo al tema. Me gusto el metodo de puzzles utilizado al tener que ir pasando entre los correos para solucionarlos.
The name of the game is amazing!
I would really love to see more color and hear more sounds and music in this game.
I'm sorry I couldn't play it. The writing didn't grip me right away, but it's hard to get to the level of Citizen Sleeper or Disco Elysium in 48 hours.
Cross-referencing documents sounds like it might have an interesting mystery.
Nice idea! Love a detective game and the reversion worked well. Could use a floorplan and be tightened, though this is hard to do in 48hrs. The voice acting was a nice touch!
Thanks so much for giving it a shot! A floorplan was in the works but we just couldn't get it implemented in time, unfortunately. Maybe we'll do a post-jam version with all the bug fixes... Ahaha we had fun with the voices!!
Interesting take on a detective game! Love the little story elements that build the world. Good job!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Really cool game and idea! I am still working on figuring out what piece of evidence to use. I am mostly sure of who the murderer was, but still progressing lol. This was a really cool and unique idea! The storytelling is really good! Makes this small little world feel alive (well, alive for the not dead people) Interesting take on the theme! Great job!
Thank you for playing! Hopefully it's a satisfying result when you do figure it out!!
Was difficulty to understand good game tho
Thanks for giving it a shot! It think we potentially missed the mark on presenting the rules and the like, we wanted a more polished user experience but just ran out of time before we could implement
i get that
