The idea is absolutely great, and the fact that you have to make your own notes is awesome and gives player some agency. The music was fine, though maybe a bit repetitive after a while and sometimes sounded a bit too cheerful for a game about a murder :D
Gameplay wise - I couldn't shake off the feeling that the dice mechanic/interrogation was really tacked on. There wasn't any decision to be made (just roll and hope for high results that you then assign for those 3 things) and it felt really boring since it would pop out every time a new location is discovered (and there are a lots of those). I'd really wish there was a way to enjoy the story and the detective work without that "minigame".
But overall I had fun and in the end it's the story that was the main dish :)
Very original concept. I enjoyed playing it. I felt like I was actually a detective while taking short notes. However the gameplay itself could have more variety. Good work.
Really like to concept
Very good presentation, and the concept reminds me of Red String Club where you have to do a mini game to influence people and get information.
I managed to solve the investigation!
The notepad was really helpful :)
Cool concept, I like how the dice rolls allowed you to progress in the story and your luck effectively impacted the amount of time you had left. I think this could be taken further .. also appreciated how everything we need to play is right there in one convenient place. Also was entertained by the music and sound effects, it really helped sell the story. Awesome effort!
I would really appreciate you all taking the time to check out my submission, I think you all will enjoy it!
