Really good game, impressive how you made the clever enigms with selecting the past dialogues. To be fair I wouldn't have finished it without your soluce under the game because I hadn't found the first part of the investigation. I still used it two other times to finish the game, that's sometimes hard to find with this much possibilities. Anyway the art is beautiful and the concept is cool, great job !

Thank you very much! And thank you for trying and using the solution to test it! I think it's really hard to complete and some links are not very logical, so it's not on you haha xD The fact that you can choose between all the previous texts is on purpose, but maybe it is not the best thing to do... I'll check similar games to see how they handle this.

Thank you for your kind words!

Absolutely loved every bit of this! (Including your little guide since I did get stuck a few times) 

Your art is wonderful, the music fits perfectly, and the little "...That's a shame" moment actually caught me off guard. I really enjoyed playing this all the way through and the writing was always amusing. Very impressed that you were able to give each person a distinct personality and silhouette.  Also thats a clever use of the theme as well!

Thanks a lot! I hope the little guide was understandable, I wrote it quickly :P I'm glad you enjoyed the ending, according to my timer it took me 1h13 to add it ^^' And I'm glad you liked the characters too! I had fun drawing them (I often do "comics jams" where you draw short comics in one day so I'm trained to draw quick "recognizable" characters even if I'm not a character designer at all haha)

Thank you for playing and for your kind words :)

I didn't manage to finish the game (I'm really bad at these detective games) but from what I saw, this is a really well done murder mystery game. Only problem was I don't think it had a strong link to the theme but that might be explained in the ending. Incredible for only a weekend of work!

Thank you for playing and for your comment! The game is also hard because the story contains mistakes and bugs, so it's probably hard to solve ^^' And the only link with the theme is that you're interviewing the employers of the victim, the ending does not contains any stronger link... all the ideas I had for the theme this week were not really using "Employers" strongly :P
