Things I liked about the game:

• Great artwork - Honey's standard of quality remains high, and for a game like this it's essential!
• No pixel hunting - While there were some cases where the hitbox for some elements felt a little off (particularly the customer) it wasn't like I had to spend forever trying to get the cursor in just the right place.
• Progress was not frustrating - My personal issue with so many point-n-click games is that I can get to a point where I don't know what to do next. This game successfully avoided this pitfall.

Now for some things I didn't like:

• Nothing! 😆 Really!
• OK, on the options menu you can toggle "Always Dash" - a feature that's never used, and you can disable the Touch UI (not sure if this has any impact, but seems silly to turn off on a game like this). But these are really minor nitpicks!

I played this game after watching Hawk's stream and learning that there are random elements, but it played out the exact same way as it did on the stream. A little disappointing because I wanted to see how things could differ, but the familiar experience wasn't bad. Maybe something to improve on next time. Anyway, this game is still an impressive accomplishment that you both should be proud of!

Okay, this was short and sweet, and just to be a jerk, I purposefully accused the wrong person and chose the worst evidence to convict them. I like that you were able to give us enough clues to make the interrogation fun. I liked hearing what everyone had to say for each piece of evidence. I DO wish there were multiple endings for accusing the wrong person, or a different ending for choosing the wrong evidence (like the bad guy being able to get away with it). So, if you DO plan on expanding, one of the things you could think about is a multiple-ending route so there's more consequences for the player's choices. I also felt like it was a little too easy to figure out who actually did it. I know that for a short game, you don't always have the luxury of drawing things out, but maybe the character in question could use some tweaking to give more of a mystery to the end? That aside, everything else seemed really good. I loved the music, and the game taking place in a bookstore felt very chill for me. I also loved the writing for the employees because they felt easy to relate to. On a bad day, I am totally Elizabeth 100%. Good job on the entry.

Haha, that was so cute. The art was all really clean and cohesive, the story was concise and clear. I liked that I understood the motive and felt rewarded for being thorough. Like, when it clicked it was a very nice "ah-HA!" moment, straight outta a movie lol. Very good work and in a funny roundabout way, the "murder" being about a literal mascot is a very funny take on the theme haha. 

This game is cute but the many evidence to shift through makes it hard for me to really hone in on the right pieces.

Presentation wise, this is cute. I enjoyed it overall. Doesn't blow me away that much.

It was short and sweet, but I loved it. Who it was, was a little predictable by art sake(idk if that was intentional) and expressions, but for a jam that's fine. I love the art per usual I am always insanely impressed you can make so much incredible art so quickly, and the beginning was so funny it had me cracking up.

One thing I will note is that introducing a heck ton of characters at once can be insanely jarring and overwhelming---maybe it's just me. You can't really grow any attatchment or care about characters when there are so much thrown at you at once. The characters have personality- and are lively, that isn't it...it almost feels like...we are supposed to know about the characters ahead of time or before the game has started. It feels like there's a lot of maybe not inside jokes..but stuff we should be knowing about the characters or time the spent together. They are new to us, even if they are very familiar to you. I think they have a lot of personality and their designs are cool. I think it's just a lot of characters at once it isn't super neccessary to have so many thrown into the bunch immediately, it starts to get confusing even remembering the characters names or anything about them, esp since bc it's a jam we don't spend very much time with them. It might be a preference so this has nothing to do with my score, I 5 star this.

I love the dialogue and clicking on the items and investigating was fun, and the arrow scroll was a nice touch! Awesome game and one of my favorites so far.
