Dylan here, this was very cool! I like the built in conceit to restart the game. Like the uncooperative suspect is so unwieldy that you have to restart the investigation the next day. I think it could be really cool to expand on that idea when you hit restart, like a variable which could be tracked that remembers how many times you've restarted the game and gives you different answers. Probably a nightmare to program, though haha.

Thank you very much for the feedback! 

Holy cow, that restart thing is a fantastic idea. I just wrote the thing about continuing the interrogation the next day to hammer in how unproductive the actual interrogation was, but I had never thought of making that an actual game mechanic.

I love how the game is set up and how the automated system forces both the detective and the convicted's hands. Were there multiple endings? I kept replaying the game hoping this time i'll get a cooperative end but the frustration of not finding one is rather fitting

Developer

I didn't incorporate more than one ending into this one. I really only had the one ending in mind.

I'm glad to hear that you liked what the game did! The feedback is greatly appreciated.
