I did not expect a deduction game in this jam to be honest! Although I like the music and the visuals, I think they do not mesh really well together, I the music is a little much too light-hearted for the visual style, and seeing the endings of the game, I think the visuals are a little too serious for the vibe you were going for.  (Unless the contrast was wanted, in that case, good job!)

For the gameplay, I think finding the notes and using the information works well enough (although some notes are pretty hard to find) but I wish there was an extra layer to the house exploration, either by having an enemy in the house or more goofy stuff (something like a haunted house)!

I really like the concept here! So I hope you'll push the idea or the visuals further!

I liked the game, and mechanics. I found all but two clues before I accidently fell out of the map and lost access to the house.

Bug or Feature? There was one clue that appears to be invisible? I could only find the prompt while standing on top of a chair.

No clear instructions on what the objectives or controls are. I could use WASD to move around a bit but I couldn't turn the camera around and I don't think I was able to interact with anything besides pressing the escape button to pick a random subject.
