I thought this was a pretty neat way to tell a story :3 + I liked how you could speed up the speech bubble dialogue to suit your reading speed. Felt somewhat like a murder mystery with getting to eavesdrop on all the people in their rooms while they were discussing stuff behind closed doors :D

Thanks for playing and commenting.

You can speed up the whole game.

This is a pretty good game.  I love the way the story unfolds through dialog, which was well thought out and written.  The dialog system could use some work, but maybe that's the engine used or the lack of time available to work on it.  I also like the pixel art and the way you navigate through the building.  Usually I like a bit of sound effects in the game and ding games that don't have it, but I'm not sure that would help here, which sounds odd (no pun intended).  With only the soundtrack I'm left with the feeling of watching a silent film, which I rather enjoyed this time.  Good job!

Indeed I was out of time to work more on the dialog system and some last minute spelling and syntactic corrections made the rough edges more visible.

I am pleased you commented on all the parts I wanted to get reviews on this game.

Thanks.

Oh, I forgot to mention the eavesdropping mechanic.  I really liked that too!
