Wew this was a blast!!
I didn't know what to expect going into this game this year, but it had a lot of nice and not a lot of not nice, if you know what I mean!
The premise of the story is absolutely hilarious, and leads to some very goofy hijinks! The whole story is amazingly cohesive and well-told, and you did a great job at exploring the concept! Some of the conversations and characters really did make me laugh out loud, and I liked the way that you could really learn stuff about different characters by looking around their rooms and talking to other people.
The way the faces and conversations work is also really great! Sometimes you'd see heads bent in ungodly fashions, or have the camera clip through and have some lovely internal organs to look at. Worst case the body or head just blocks the camera completely, but to be honest managing dynamic cameras in unity is so hard that does take a lot a faffing about just to make something work acceptably, and having the angles different with every conversation at least puts some fun in it!
The nonsensical nature of some of the murders (and arrests) is hilarious and I loved all of them. I managed to pull the plug on violet then electrocute her in the bathtub which I'm especially proud of 😛 The ending worked really well and was really worth playing through for!
I guess the only thing that makes me sad when it comes to games with branching dialogue/options, is that I don't get to see it all at once, and I don't have the patience to play multiple times 😅 if there was ever an update that allowed dialogue skipping, or possibly even unmurdering/unarresting to try out different combinations, it would be really interesting to try and explore all paths and dialogue options!
Overall this game was so so good! I really liked the way it was presented and could even see this idea being taken much further. The idea of a hitman/detective/alien could easily be escalated to crazy levels, and there are a lot of avenues for this concept unexplored!
Thanks so much for submitting! Absolutely worth the wait!
