Love this! The Motive and Missing sections were quite straightforward but the Victim Reports took me awhile to solve. It is pretty well thought-out! Really appreciated greatly how there was no need to wait for the PC to walk from one point to another when the arrows or items were clicked on. Looking forward to more of such detective mysteries.

Managed to find a few more leads and ended the demo. No additional hints showed up except the first one though. Thanks for creating the game.

Looks promising but after the interview with the first lead, nothing new appears to allow for further exploration. The "internet sheet" does not update by itself nor does it allow keying in. The"map" icon is not working either - nothing happens when it was clicked on. 

an excellent mystery! you've nailed it :)

Simply excellent!

Ok I managed to figure it out. It was in an order I haven't considered! Escaped successfully, finally. Thanks for the fun!

Noted re the drawers.

w.r.t. the books, I'm still stuck. Only two of the books have audio cues. Clicking the books in order (and reverse) according to the paper on the desk doesn't help either...

Hopelessly stuck for some 3-4 evenings in a row on the book/shelf puzzle... Seems sort of linked to the piece of paper with scribbles on the desk but not sure if it's a red herring. :(( Hints would be appreciated! Great graphics though~ There were some things I clicked that resulted in an audio cue but I don't think those were visible items. Not sure if these were intended.

I use Chrome. 

I replayed it. Managed to solve it now. Probably assumed what was in the previous version would apply for the updated version. It works now and i enjoyed the mechanics! 

I have one clue that can't be matched with anything. No new insights could be found from the existing places and suspects. I'm stuck too. I am also unable to get the music store or solve the second suspect. Seems like it's a bug based on previous comments?

Looks promising! However, there's definitely not enough time to gather clues before the "Who is the murderer" dialog pops up (I barely completed the questioning for the first suspect!) The answer is also given when the choice is made between the three suspects regardless of whether it was correct or not. One way is to allow for replay (i.e. release the answer only when the player gets it right), and the other is to give the player more time to gather clues from each suspect.

Thank you for your feedback! I've added the link to the IFDB page under "More information".

The game looks promising but there are quite a few bugs. It tells me I have Hufflepuff's password but it's not recorded in the Notes section. Now I'm stuck because I can't get the password anymore. The random attacks by Peeves - is there supposed to be a Close button? I ended up having to refresh the page every time it happens.

I played the version on itch. wasn't aware there's an updated version. but I managed to solve the cypher!

One of the rare gems found here. :) Cypher was tough and I still didn't really get the 3rd part fully. Otherwise the plot was sensibl and deep enough!
