Nice work! really liked the style and music, it gave me the vibes and atmosphere of games such as Heavy Rain and LA Noire. I also loved the camera and finding the clues to figure out the killer.

Nice work, I like noir-esque art style and tone.  Interesting mechanics to the game and a nice complimentary choice in music

If you update the game after the jam, I didn't realise at first that you could switch suspects maybe add line of text or a highlight button when hovering over the names to show that there clickable.

I would also suggest adding a prompt ingame on which key it is to interact with items. 

I found the movement a little tricky at first.

The head focusing on the items was a really nice touch, the start screen is really cool and the character portraits have a unique style.

Great work! :)

Thanks for playing! We do hope to release a quality of life update that will include all the things we couldn't get in on time, but for now the team is taking a small break :)

From Jam Runners:

The latest upload on this page is after the submission deadline. This was uploaded with the intension of having a second "fixed" version of the game however it replaced the original. The newer version of the download fixes a bug at the very end of the game allowing you to complete the game.

Given this upload was done so close to the end, it was a small bug and this game jam is not a super serious endeavour we have decided to allow this entry to still be submitted this one time. Decisions like this will be taken on a case by case basis and in future when adding downloads, renaming the upload is the correct method.
