The environment in this was very cool, I really liked the character models. The music was very atmospheric and felt very Roman. Great job!

Hello ^^

Thank you very much for reviewing our game! :)

I'm glad you liked the music (I did it myself ^^).

Have a nice day! ^^ :)

I thoroughly enjoyed investigating. I found two guilty members but I was unclear how to proceed with accusing them. The music was not overbearing. The conversation was easy enough to follow/understand. Great Job. I can tell that much work went into this application and it shows. Again, I enjoyed playing and investigating.

Hello ^^

I'm glad you investigated that much :)

I was worried the dialogue system might be a bit overbearing as the sole gameplay mechanic of the game XD.

Thank you for playing our game :)

Have a nice day! ^^

Deadly Whispers

Hello ^^ !

Oh, sorry! :(

If you want, we can build the game for MAC & LINUX this week ^^

However, since I can't test it, it might be a bit laggy or have some bugs XD

PhiSubmitted253 days ago

Oh, only if it's not too much trouble! I'll gladly test it for you though. :)

SHARKstudioDeveloper248 days ago(+1)

I'm sorry i didnt had the time to build it this week :(
I will try in the next couples days :)

Damn, what a professional-looking game! It's a shame that the controls were like this, I was unable to change them on the settings, but I still tried walking around. The game gave my PC a bluescreen after playing for a few minutes, idk what happened. The SFX and music were definitely the best part. Great job!

To Kill A Fidel Castro

Hello ^^ (sorry for the late answer XD)

Thank you ! Means a lot :)

Well, sorry for the controls XD. It's on me. But it's strange you could not change them. Have you tried looking in the settings? In the controls tab, there is a keybinds button that leads to the rebinding screen :)

(btw you can also play with any gamepads ;)

And well, for the bluescreen, I don't know what could have caused the issue XD. But my friend and I will try to find out :)

Have a nice day/evening ^^!

OSGSubmitted254 days ago

No problem with the late answer. I opened up the settings but it didn't allow me to change the keybinds. It didn't even show me what keys I was even changing when I clicked on the slots.

This looks like a ton of work between the assets, sound effects, music, dialogue… I especially like the music and sound effects. Thanks for mentioning changing the controls. I really liked the style of being able to walk around and talk to the different characters, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to figure out the culprit. I may have misunderstood, but it seemed like there were multiple guilty people, but you could only accuse one?

The Lost Works of Hypatia of Alexandria

Hello!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it (your game is f****** awesome, by the way XD).

Sorry about the controls XD, I got a bit panicked before submitting the build XD.

Yes, there are multiple guilty peoples, but as far as I know, you can select them by using the rounded buttons under their pictures (which are all the same because we didn't have the time XD). Then, once you've selected all the suspects you want, you can click 'confirm' to see if you won or lost ^^

Gave your game a try. You put some good efforts into this one! Also big thanks for mentioning the Voice Generaotr you were using. This one does an excellent job - will give it definitely a try next time I am in need of a narrated voice.

Hello! (Sorry for the late reply.)

I'm super happy you tried it :) Thank you! ^^

Regarding the voice generator, well, it's not completely free.

Some voices are free, but there's a limit on the number of words each month XD..

I also want to mension that i made a ton of Post-Processing to the voice XD

So if the voice does not sound as good as it seems when you use the generator it's normal..

But still, I hope it will help you in the future ^^
