Cool entry! I like the graphics and mechanics, very well thinked, I try to cheat it with no luck lol, then I try to solve it and I can´t yet, is fun, the only thing is that I don´t see the use of the theme but nice game, good job!

Developer

Thank you! I am glad you liked it! how did you cheat? I am curious haha, also in terms on the theme the limitation was that there needs to be multiple ending there are 2 endings one where you actually solve the case and the other one where you don't, also when you solve the story it shows how the whole thing went down in a frame by frame animation(kinda).

Holy hell, this was really good! We sat with my mate and really got into it, thinking about all the details, motives, etc. The only thing the game lacked were some QoL features like rewinding the videos and reports showing up on top of everything.

Developer

hey! Thank you so much! yeah couldnt have the time to actually add such features! but really glad you liked it!

Very interesting game! I really like the concept, and I think the case/mystery was well-crafted. The only thing I would say needs improvement is just some general accessibility features for playing back and viewing the evidence. I think a way to skim the video evidence, or just pause, or maybe skim per section of subtitles would be better since it was a bit difficult to read some of the sections that went by too fast. The fonts overlaying some of the video footage are a little unreadable, you could add an outline or two to help with that. 

Some of the text evidence was a little unintuitive to read, I had to organize my evidence so that some articles weren't fully obscured. Also, it took me a bit or two to figure out how to actually open up the case file. Maybe you could have a small bit of text/instructions to show at the start, or maybe allow it to be dragged with the mouse.

The final thing is it was pretty confusing to select which evidence was for the murder weapon, because the police report and autopsy report both tied into the murder weapon, (one of them also literally said "Murder weapon: "), so I think that part of the evidence was both shallow or confusing depending on the correct evidence.

I did like the assets and the art style of the game. It was fun trying to figure out who the killer was, and It had a very simple and close-knit concept that worked really well in this jam's theme and limitation. All in all, great job!

Developer

I cant get the case file to come up, how do I do that?

Developer

What do you mean by case file to get up? Do you mean how do you access the case file? That's fine by using the arrow keys(up and down) to get to the case file,
