So, I think the core idea of a card-based investigation game is really neat and the visuals are fantastic. My biggest concern is that it mostly felt like a clicker game to me as the cards/actions you get are either very linear (just upgrade to make the number go up) or weren't useful. (I could take a luck chance to remove one of my cards at one point, but it cost more than investigating so it wasn't worth it) My biggest feedback would be that the tutorials are way too long and spread out. Until the addition of the time mechanic, all the previous tutorials were so easy as to be boring and the heavy dialogue made them feel even longer. Eventually I skipped several tutorials to go straight to a case so I could see the normal gameplay was and I found that much more enjoyable. I think combining a number of tutorials could really help with this, rather than having to investigate-click through several progress bars before a challenge is added. That and a little more versatility to player choices would help keep people playing.

The music and art so far are lovely and set a great mood. I like the character art especially and the doors as level selectors. The game play though I still find a bit confusing.

The tutorial feels too text-heavy; I would prefer to be doing more in order to learn the controls, rather than read about them at length. The downside of this is also that it names a bunch of things in text and I still don't know what to do, because it doesn't show them. I'd rather have the game do things like highlight a button I have to press, with perhaps a single sentence explaining what it does, so I can see the effect of those mechanics immediately and understand how to use them. I find myself just pressing things a bit too randomly instead.

A small nitpick is that the text moves a bit too slow. I know you can double-click to write it out instantly, but for the "talking" effect it could still be a little faster.

I see you've gotten a bunch of feedback about the tutorial already and I agree it can use some work in order to get into the game flow quicker and easier. But the game's general great vibe and promise of what's to come definitely invites you into wanting to play.

Pretty cozy strategy game!

I am really not good at puzzle games at all, so def take what I say with a grain of salt. That being said it def felt good to play once I got the hang of it and the whole ambience is nice.

Small comments:

• Maybe make the tutorial shorter a bit shorter. I felt the tutorial last quite a bit which made it bit hard for me to get into it as most of the time played was learning the game in the tutorial. I feel that combining the levels when possible could help a bit like the first and second levels! 
• I also echo what everyone else was saying about the red herrings level as well. I felt its was pretty luck based, and was not sure how to go about it in a while other than hoping lol.

I really liked the concept of the game, both graphics and music bring a cozy atmosphere that combines with investigation. I got a little lost in the mechanics, but I still managed to have fun. Good job.

A cool light-strategy game that I was a bit skeptical of at first, but once I understood it I really got into it. The UI could probably use some cleaning up – in particular, it would be nice if you could consistently see how many clues a room has before entering it; as is, you only can when entering from the right side. Plus, the first level with the red herrings seems to depend too much on luck of the draw. Still, I had a good time with it.

A card based investigation game is an interesting concept.

The graphical style is polished and cohesive. The one suggestion I'd put is that the orange accent color you use doesn't contrast well with the background. This makes the text highlighted in that color unreadable.

As Maui has said, the tutorial portion stretches a bit long. I felt that the first tutorial stage didn't give a good idea of the whole game. The second level made it much clearer. I think you can merge those two levels.  

The resource management could use some balancing. Activating cards requires a limited resource. But you lose the card quickly as you move between areas. When the card is lost that resource is also essentially lost which feels bad.  I think it'd be better to have the buffs expire as you do actions. 

Overall, it's a very polished entry with a lot of room to expand design-wise.

The levels were very well designed. The visuals were charming and the game had a lot of soul! 

Interesting concept. Took me a while to get it but it has potential. I really like the chill atmosphere and art (the music probably had time to loop more than 10 times over while I was playing but it never annoyed  me, which says a lot).

I feel like the tutorial is a bit too long though. And the game gets difficult way too fast. At least for me^^ I stopped after completing "Case 1  : Red Harrings" by the skin of my teeth with just 1 "time" unit left after 6 or 7 attempts. I don't know if I was unlucky with all those "Red Herring" items or if I just suck...

To be fair, this kind of strategy / puzzle game isn't really my thing to begin with. So I would wait to see what others think before making major changes to difficulty^^

Also, a few minor things :

- The writing speed for the dialog feels too slow (I know you can get the whole text instantly by clicking though). I would multiply it by something like 1.5 or 2.

- You have 2 fullscreen buttons. I think you should keep the one from Unity and remove the one added by itch.io that never works well (it's in the edit game page, the option : "Fullscreen button — Add a button to the bottom right corner of your embed to make it fullscreen").

At least, that's how I handle it for my webGL games :)

- A custom mouse cursor would add a lot to the style of the game I think. Something thematics like a pen or magnifying glass maybe ?

Anyway, great entry overall, good job :)

Great puzzle/strategy game, loved the little art style and the music. Very well done over all! Even for placeholder art it still looks good, and game play is very unique.
