This was one of the best games I've played for this jam. The dialogue managed to keep me thoroughly engaged and I liked the twist at the end. Music and graphics were also great. Well done.

Really nice idea and execution. Reminds me of an old Scooby-doo game I played as a kid, to the point where I thought you would do the same trick they used and just make the murderer always be the person you chose. In the majority of cases getting to the real answer would require more than one playthrough, and clicking "start game" again after getting to the end doesn't actually reset all the dialogues. It played the starting maid dialogue but after choosing a dice it continued with the last visitor.
Wow what a twist it went from fortune telling to L.A. Noire real quick. The best game I have played in the jam so far. I am also in love with the art syle. This much story in a jam game is just mad. Btw could you tell me the font you have used? I really liked it.
Thank you so much for playing, and for the kind comments! Glad you enjoyed it!
Most of the font is Yoster Island: https://www.1001fonts.com/yoster-island-font.html
Very cool game! Really interesting and fun to play! The art is really cool and detailed, very visually pleasing! Good job!
That's charming :)
Got to the third guest, the audio is playing from the left channel mostly. Thanks!
This is kind of therapeutic. The music is nice and calming, decisions do not have to be made on the fly, all you gotta do is just relax and tell some fortunes.
A very creative little game. I did manage to get the correct final answer my first try, but I wonder how other people could get it without the very specific choice I had made with the person in question. The fact that you can only get a subset of the game's dialog each playthrough, as well as what you can choose from being random, seems like a weird choice. I did enjoy the game overall, though.
Really clever idea, good writing, and a nice visual style. I think it worked well as a bite-sized jam piece, but I also feel like the core idea has legs enough to grow outside of the constraints of the 48 hours. Overall excellent!
Loved it. Great story, looked lovely and it fit the theme in a novel way! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
That was amazing to play. I really thought it was going to be the husband if I am honest. Guess I'll have to replay later to figure out who it was! -Kaylee
Brilliant. Great story, fit the theme well, and a satisfying ending too - provided a complexity I wouldn't expect from a 48 hour game jam! Music and art was overkill at this point, really nice.
I don't think I chose particularly well in terms of earning money... but I somehow was correct with my guess at the end so I'm happy!
Really cool concept and totally did not see the twist coming!! I guessed the husband but was wrong I suppose .. I wonder who it was. Great stuff, keep it coming!
This game's presentation is amazing. I love both the music and assets; it's hard to believe it was made in only 48 hours.
