The Doomed Diner will not be finished for Halloween 2023. I'm working on another visual novel that will be released in a month or so.

Thank you for your kind review.

I will definitely take your recommedations into account for any next visual novel. I'm hesitant to change this one because it was made for a month long jam and changing it afterwards feels a bit like cheating to me.

The name "Jane Jetson" wasn't meant as a reference to  "The Jetsons" cartoon but as a thinly veiled reference to "John Watson" of the Sherlock Holmes stories (just like "Connie Doyle" is a reference to "Arthur Conan Doyle"). In hindsight I should have put some more effort into coming up with a surname that rhymes with "Watson" :)

Thank you for your kind review.

I agree on the GUI (it took me all of ten minutes to make, I should allocate a little bit more time than that in the future ;)

The storylines are all quite different (different perpetrators, motives and clues) because I needed each of them to end in solving the case. After all : Sherlock Holmes (almost) always solved the case. 

I'm happy you enjoyed this little game, thank you.
