Hi ! Great job for a jam ! Nice graphics, easy to understand gameplay, and it's really cool to see a story - especially an investigation ! And it fits well the theme :)
Thanks for sharing how the AI was made, it's simple but efficient for a jam !
For me there are a few issues :
- the answers are a bit too robotic (straightforward descriptions with no emotions), but may be this is because you had a lot of sentences to write ahead so that's a lot of work,
- the AI often say to "ask for more info", which makes it a bit artificial : they should say nothing or give the info right away; even if it might help the player to know what to do I think it's not necessary,
- the case is really simple to solve, no big twist, but it's funny to have the anonymous guy appearing (well... we guess who it actually is, and that's funny too),
- the AI are often not understanding what's said, which is understandable given the algorithm, but may be you could have added more responses to common investigation elements.
Thank you for this game, I had a nice time playing it !
