This really took me back in the best way. I used to love playing Cruise for a Corpse, interrogating characters for bits of information with cool stylish graphics. That game hasn't really aged too great, but Lost Borealis feels fresh and much more focused.

I actually booted Lost Borealis up first day of the jam and had to step away a couple times, but I'm glad I didn't rush. This was a truly rewarding experience, one that had me scratching my head a bit. So many mystery games now give the facade of deduction, but here I really had to rub my brain cells together.

I feel like if I hadn't played Case of the Golden Idol last year I might have froze at the fill in the blank testimony charts, either that or the developers just did a good job easing me in. The art style is very cohesive and looks quite professional. The characters were a fun salty bunch, I loved reading the squabbling portions. Thank you for this one!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot to me. I love proper detective games and I'm so glad a fellow detective game fan enjoyed this!

I absolutely adore Golden Idol (played the DLC recently) and it's definitely very well designed. I know that my game could use a bit more work - I'm thinking of adding a separate section for deductions and the hammock puzzle to the diary to make things clearer to the players. The time constraint (and general tiredness) didn't allow me to make everything I wanted to make - like access to the main deck and having the full crew aboard the ship but I'd like to work on it further and release a post-jam version.

Thanks again for your comment! :)
