Great art, also Murasa, stop flooding the baths!


Yes I know she's not here, but she's probably doing it right now! 


jokes aside, loved it! also the flavour text was a joy to read. great story in general!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the side parts

Really cool and sweet detective game.

The backgrounds and portraits are pretty cool. Even if the deductions are kind of easy, the writing and story are great. The deduction work and the drama threaded themselves so smoothly into eachother!

Turn out that Seija makes for a really good detective. Who would have known? Maybe she can be nicknamed the Contradicting Detective Amanojaku.

My favourite part was "Murasa, for the love of Buddha stop flooding the baths!"

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad the gameplay and story integrated well together.

Seija's confrontational enough to be a good detective too

Real Ace Attorney vibes in this one. Good work!

I love text-based adventure games so much, and this really hits a niche I love! The music coupled with the lower resolution graphics pairs really well, and the writing is great too! Puzzles are simple but effective, and I enjoy the dialogue and little bits of flavor text. Love the 2D character art as well!

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed everything!

A great game that definetly needs more polishing but is great none the less! 

It was a sweet adventure, i love the way the mallet is used in order to convince seija on coming along, just for things to slowly drift off into a deeper relatiosnhip drama.

i may be biased for seija, but i was having a blast playing as her, listening to people what they think about her. the music and the art are amazing. great job!


also.... SEIJA X SHINMYYYY WOOHOOOOOO

Developer

Thanks! Hopefully I can find the time to polish some of the formatting more. Glad you enjoyed the Seija content!

This is so fun. I really like the expansion of some of the rarer Touhou lore (I had actually forgotten Joon became a buddhist) and the humour is great. The art is really good and conveys the character expressions well, which I think could be useful if you do intend to make a sequel i.e. a character’s face betrays what they say. Or maybe that’d be too hard - I didn’t actually mind the puzzles being quite straightforward.

Anyway, it’s fantastically written and tightly executed. One of my favourites!

Developer

Thanks! I'll consider utilizing the character expressions some more if I do make a follow-up.

I am a sucker for a detective game, but even with my bias this is a fun one. The LGBTQ+ themes are woven into the backdrop of a mystery game with tact. The writing is subtle where it needs to be, supporting the idea of figuring it out yourself. Information is presented in fragments and asides that leaves it to the player to piece together. Very fitting for genre. To get all the various systems working must have taken bending Twine near to breaking. The visuals embedded help give character to the characters, especially comparing their living spaces.


I am left with wanting more challenge and also just more to play. I have a long way to go, but this will probably be my favorite of the whole jam.

Thanks! MessisLuna and xiang did a great job with the art. For the coding, it involved listboxes and a lot of variables and if statements. 

I've thought about making a follow-up story and I will consider increasing the difficulty if I do so.
