**Spoilers**









I'm a bit confused about the ending(?) of this one. The videos linked in the comments show the phone booth as the ending of the game, but when I escaped from the prison I ran straight to the police station and she was standing outside in her normal clothes. The first time, I walked near her and got stabbed. The second time, I went inside of the station and couldn't say anything to them about the killer or what happened to me. I went home, to the crime scene, to Vanessa's house, and eventually just went and intentionally got killed at the station because I didn't see any other way to end the game. I couldn't go to the phone booth after going to the station and getting my car. 

I think that the game would benefit from having restrictions on where you can go after escaping. I'm assuming that the phone booth and the station kills are the official endings, but having the ability to go inside the station and to everywhere else in the game doesn't make sense after escaping. The killer doesn't stop you from entering the station, she only stops you if you click on a random spot in the area. You can just walk right in front of her and she doesn't say a word, and you don't have the option to say anything about her to the clerk. I also tried to talk to the cops at the crime scene, but obviously couldn't. 

The game would also benefit from 1) A save or autosave function and 2) a "game over" screen for premature deaths that's different from the ending, with text that makes it clear that the game doesn't actually end there. In my first playthrough, I died right after getting Vanessa Smith's address by walking out of the police station and then clicking on a random spot instead of my car. I would have assumed that you couldn't actually get in the car and progress further if it wasn't for the comments that implied I hadn't seen everything in the game.

Regardless, it's a really cool game with a great art style! I'm looking forward to your future games. :)

Fantastic feedback, hugely appreciated. I have a major update coming next week that will address some of these issues, improving and extending the game, and breathing more life into the city and its occupants. Keep an eye out for it and let me know if it addresses your points thanks Ali’s 😊

Yes! I'd love to play again if the benefits you mentioned are addressed. If I hadn't seen these comments with information that I didn't discover yet, I'd have had no idea this game is longer than a couple of minutes like the first one (unless it also was longer and I didn't realize it). I thought dying was the end of the game. 

I replayed this one and got further than the first time, but now replaying it yet again to hopefully make a better choice next time around is something I'm not sure I want to do. A save or autosave before you die so you can begin where you left off would be super helpful.

I'm enjoying this game a lot. I'm not usually one for jumpscares, but these are relatively small (and not first-person). The story is very compelling, and the art style is one of my favorites.
