Oof, that's rough. Loved the demo otherwise!

Voice volume is by default way too soft, and even with the music almost completely turned down it's hard to hear, never mind understand her. It's always better to be a little too loud at the loudest setting, and definitely for the voice to be louder than the music.

I really appreciate the split sound settings though, for some reason this has not become the default yet in video games.

The left side of the 'Goose' section should have been 2 parts. It's a lot to get right at once, and I don't feel there's enough hints to really know who did what, especially for the first sentence. I've been switching names around a lot, and it gets a little tiring when you have to type first and last name separately, and there's no nudge if I'm closer to the truth until I have all but 1 person or 2 verbs and/or nouns correct.

I really wish I could see the ending, but it's impossible to rule out who did what. The game looks extremely charming, and everyone sounds like they have their own 'voice', I imagine with more time and polish I'd be having lots of fun with our deceased detective.

I wish I could have turned the music completely off at some point, instead of just not hearing it; it's still switching tracks, meaning it's eating whatever is required to keep the music going. It's not a bad selection, but at some point I want to hear my own thinking music.

Adorable and a fun way to do a logic puzzle, but I'm super curious how I'm supposed to stay under budget on 11 and 12, 2 machines and no Comparer seems impossible. Don't get how to do 14 with only 3 machines either. (I did get the wigs on 11 and 12 after beating 14?)
