Cat puns!! This game was meow-velous, a clean departure from the usual games created in SGB. I felt very fur-tunate to have played this (sadly and embarrassingly I never had a chance to properly play The Miserable Clown - that needs to change). I didn't finish the game....Who am I kitten? I had to finish it to see who the cat-assin was! (OK, enough cat puns.)

The Cleudo-style map is brilliant, something so simple yet so suitable for the core of the game: an interactive-fiction whoddunit. I guessed correctly second try, maybe because I just over-analysed things.

A treasure! I thoroughly enjoyed this style and would definitely like to see more in the series!

Thank you! Not only for your positive comment but also for your tutorials on Youtube, I’ve learned so much from them.

Also, I really liked how you put the character portraits of the characters in your game next to the dialogue box, so that has inspired me to experiment more with that kind of stuff in the future.

I’m sticking with a Cluedo-style board/map in the future and will hopefully expand on this in future entries.

Very polished project. The original art is phenomenal and the script is well written. The design of the clue board was really neat. Overall SOLID submission.

Thanks so much! I’m really glad people like the art and script. Because of comments like this I’m motivated to continue making games in the future. :)

Another "we're lucky to have this" submission, the second from Tymmo in as many jams :)

I love the tone and direction, and the comic-y art style.  The story had me grinning ear to ear, and it was easy to play.

The Cluedo-inspired board that made up the house, was just genius.  Really great job on this!

I did encounter a bug, which gave me a blank screen after attempting to go into the garden (I hadn't talked to everyone yet).


I loved the endings and was very pleased to see that I got the mystery right, on the first try! xD

I think I'm cut out for this kind of work!


Thank you for this, it's a credit to the engine and it honored the jam!

I’ve added a spellchecked version to the download page.

Please consider using the first file as the Jam valid entry.

Since I pulled an all nighter before the deadline I didn’t get the chance to see if any of my sentences made any sense. After replaying the game just now I’ve realised many sentences we’re literal word by word translations from Dutch into English. Also some portions of the story and the ending weren’t accessible in the Jam entry due to the wrong use of variables. So please check out the spellchecked version as well as it contains the true ending. :)
