Cool mystery game!

  • Innovation – Seems like a fresh idea~ but I haven't played this genre before heh
  • Fun – It is interesting figuring things out, but it is A LOT of reading.
  • Graphics – Very nice, I assume, AI art.  It would be cool if there was some movement added to the scene. Birds out the window, monitors flickering, etc.
  • Audio – Only UI sounds I could hear.  Some nice room ambience would be nice, computer hums. city sounds from an open window etc.  Also if you had a "Brain Focus Music 40hz" track, that would help people like me who don't like reading in games haha.  I actually had to turn on a YouTube video of it to play
  • Polish – Very clean!  Just needs some ambience/atmosphere/vibe  to not feel so static~

Great job on the awesome game!  Please check out my game if you like Metroidvanias or platformers :D

Thanks very much for taking the time to play and comment. You're absolutely right, there is some polish missing (music, animation). This is jam build that I plan to keep developing, so I am fine with that for the time being. I just wanted to meet the deadline with something that looks good and that can be played from the beginning to the end. All that reading is part of the genre. Not for everybody, I know. It's just a gaming phase I am going through. .. :)

I am yet to play your game, but it's one of the ones I have bookmarked for rating.

Thanks again!

This game looks absolutely incredible! I'm feeling a bit dumb though because I can't complete the tutorial. The words I have for the podcast script don't seem to match up with the blanks. Some of the blanks are also covering up some words so I can't tell if it is my mistake or a bug:

Thanks for letting me know, it's obviously my fault. There is a weird bug that displaces the tags in that particular screen. Godot being Godot, I suppose. I think I got it fixed and I uploaded a new version of the game.

All there's left in the tutorial for you is to complete those 2-3 words, though. If you have already made it that far you can simply launch into the game. :)
