I liked the game, but the interface made it a little frustrating to do - I would have greatly appreciated transcriptions of the audio since I couldn't understand a lot of it (and some of those parts were very important). I also would have liked the ability to click on clips of audio I'd already found instead of having to search again. The sound of the searching squeal also hurt my ears so I wish I could have turned it off.
I had a bug of when I got to the #4 level I clicked back to #3 and then couldn't go back to #4, so I had to exit the game and redo everything. But otherwise the mystery was fun and it was neat figuring things out! A couple things I didn't figure out (rot13): V'z abg fher ubj V jnf fhccbfrq gb trg gur svefg anzrf sbe Tenpr naq Qrerx - V xarj vg jnf n Q sbe Qrerx ohg whfg thrffrq orgjrra gung naq Qnavry, naq whfg thrffrq ba Tenpr
Dittoing all three of these suggestions for a future update. I can't get past the second level because I can't seem to figure out how part of a name is spelled. (Is it with one L? Two Ls? One S? Two Ses? Is that final vowel an E or an O, or something else?)
Pitch-perfect period atmosphere. The story is interesting and well-written, and the art and voice acting are great. I did find the text entry input format to be frustrating, though--I just entered so many wrong keywords for every hit. Got real tired of that chirp it makes. Still though, very well-designed overall, and I definitely enjoyed it!
Unheard meets Her Story! I did have to brute force the final level a bit, as I didn't really understand how to svaq gur svefg anzrf bs obgu gur qrgrpgvir naq gur fnsrpenpxre.
Interesting game; however, I feel like with as heavy as an emphasis as audio as this game has, especially with everyone having thick English accents & multiple proper nouns being mentioned, subtitles would be greatly appreciated. There're multiple times where I have trouble understanding what's being said, which makes solving feel frustrating.
