How does your game fit the theme?
This game aligns with the "Built to Scale" theme by allowing players to adjust the camera's scale to examine image details and solve puzzles. As the scale increases, it's not just the image that enlarges; the level of detail also changes accordingly. This mechanic adds an engaging layer of puzzle-solving to the gameplay.

Fit well with the theme. And I love the art style! Well played the game
Thank you! :)
really nice game ! I enjoyed solving the case :D
I really wanted to include at least one character who looks like they’re staring at you through the window! Haha. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fit in a storyline, but thank you so much for enjoying the game.
Nice job, good sketch style. Wish there were some fitting noir music. But Rear Window definitely has potential as a video game, and I could see this game with several additions that would make it very engaging. As is, it is a bit confusing to get around and somewhat annoying to have to zoom in and out to look at the person you want. It'd be nice to have a time change button or something so you can stay in the same spot and have the window open.
You're right; the controls could have used a bit more refinement. As a temporary fix, I recommend using the Q and E keys to zoom in and out. If I develop it further, I'm considering adding a time element as well! Thank you :)
Games like this are why I like lurking in game jams submissions. The art, the vibe, the idea, all great.
You could improve on the controls. When I try to scroll through my mails, it zooms / unzoom the view behind.
And I was wondering why I was getting mail so often.
Such a wonderful compliment, it really made my day :) It’s more convenient to click and drag for the letters. The part where it interacts with the scroll was my mistake. I’m sorry about that. The idea of having emails arrive with a time delay was meant to spread out the clues rather than giving them all at once, but it didn’t seem to add much to this game. If the game were larger in scope, I think incorporating a time element could make it more engaging.
"spread out the clues rather than giving them all at once" => ok I agree, but then I would suggest increasing time delay (for me it was too fast), and re-working the ui / ux of receiving / browsing mail.
Nice take en on the theme and genre. Love the minimalist art style ! well done
Thank you so much! :)
Love the art style ! Reminds me a lot of "Hidden Folks".
But the controls... I felt the camera was moving way too fast for me, and I was always overshooting windows, and getting lost in the scene. So I didn't get far.
Well done though !
Sorry about the camera speed. It was much slower during development, but after uploading it to the browser, it turned out to be faster than I expected. I’ll make sure to update it after the jam period ends. Thank you for playing!
Super fun deduction game! I love it! The take on the theme is very creative. Especially love the art direction of this game. Minimalist color palette matched the art style so much. Interesting mechanic with just 48 hours on the clock.
Needs more level, I am so obsessed. Great job on the game! :)
Thank you so much! I'll definitely think about it after the jam ends! My friends also found it really fun, so I'm feeling pretty positive about it.
I need more time to play this game. It's very very interesting and the style is very smart and great
Thank you :)
Lovely game! Really enjoyed it :)
Thanks :))
loveee the art of the people in the windows!!!
Thaaaank you! :)
camera a little uncomfortable. but all the other is just amazing. I love the original idea and the clean art, wishing this were a complete game!
Thank you! :) If I get a good feeling from the jam, I might develop it further!
Great take on the theme!
Loved the art style and sound design!!
Was like a bit confused like i was but it was zooming out. Then i figured that i should click and drag
After that I really enjoyed playing it
I wanted to refine the controls to be smoother, but the jam's deadline is approaching. Thank you for enjoying the game! :)
This is a really cool and interesting concept, love the art direction as well. We thought it was a really fun puzzle game, awesome stuff!
Thanks for enjoying my game :)
Really stands out from other entries. Love the art and sound design!
Thank you! I really enjoyed the Big Lizard as well.
What a fun mystery game! Great aesthetic, and such a clever deduction puzzle. Great job!
Thank you! Your Picture Perfect game was absolutely flawless :)
Woah, you made a good detective game in 48 hours! This is one of the most visually distinct games in the whole jam, it oozes character, and it was super engaging to play! I properly felt like a detective, trying to solve strange little mysteries. I loved this, one of the best games I've played this jam!
These are such kind words. :) Thank you so much for playing!
Relaxing game and very nice art!
Thank you :) !!
I'm extremely impressed. The style and audio is stunning and the design is done in an intuitive and lovely way. Well done to ye!
Thank you. I wasn’t able to pay much attention to the UI details, but I hope it didn’t affect your gameplay experience too much.
How clever! The audiovisual design is on-point; I especially like the satisfying click of zooming in and out. Great work!
Thank you. I wish I could have added the breathing sound :)
Art is cool! Clever idea too
Thanks :)
