As noted by many, in the browser version, the screen becomes black at the first interrogation, I unfortunately have no knowledge of how to fix that. But you can still play it by exiting with ESC to the menu and in the continue button, continue on to the 2nd interrogation (Thank you for those who thought of this idea). If you want the full experience, you might have to just download the file for PC.
I tried to rebuild it, and it required me to put the files again, so if possible, please tell me if there is anything wrong that also happened to the PC version. Thanks!
Great story and nice horror elements also liked the art style. As a few people have said already there's a bug when you go on the first interrogation, it's just a black screen.
Oh thank you and also for the feedback, I really have no idea why the WebGL one does that, it works in Unity and Windows but thanks for playing!
Very well made, awesome art style.
Awesome storytelling! I liked the horror part of the game :)
nice story and very good synchron arrangement with music and graphics!
Thank you
Great job on this -- you have a really nice feel for making cutscenes, from the composition of the shot to the camera motion to the art and sound effects, I was really impressed. The art also gave me early 90's vibes and I loved it. The thumbnail gif for the game is very cool and professional, and I liked your interrogees, too.
I also had the problem with the browser, and I tested it on Firefox, Chrome and Safari -- each time, when it goes to the first interrogation, it's a black screen. I used the tip in the comment below to use the Continue menu to move to Interrogation 2 and it worked. I also watched a video posted in the comments on your game page to see what I missed.
Nice work!
Oh thx for your feedback! Yeah, I knew it the WebGL would have problems haha
That was a really well presented game :) No complaints here just if you play in the browser it breaks before the first interrogation! You can use the menu to skip to the next one still thankfully.
Oh thx for telling me that! It's my 2nd time uploading to itch and uploading WebGL always makes me quite anxious as I know stuff like this can happen, but glad u enjoyed it!
I feel like its par for the course with these jams where something has to go wrong xD (My game the enemies navmesh broke among other things on the build haha).
Great presentation. So many cutscenes, animation, music and sound effects... I'm very impressed.
Each of the suspects was quite different, with their own personality, story, appearance, etc. I loved the animation on Kit. The twitching and writhing was very well done.
For a story-heavy game, the text could have used a bit more copy editing. There were some unidiomatic usages.
Note also the following problem: Pressing Escape takes the player immediately to the main menu, and when pressing Continue, the player can start one of the interrogations over again. However, the player cannot resume an interrogation at the point where they left off. Any key press that interrupts game play irretrievably should come with a warning ("Are you sure you want to quit to the main menu?").
Oh alright thx for the feedback! I will take it into consideration especially starting where one left off. Glad u enjoyed it!
