I have uploaded the first complete version of Tessa Blackwood's Crime Time. The game is now playable from the beginning to the end.
Your task is to explore the long-forgotten death of twin sisters Betty and Lisa Bell and compile a true crime podcast in the process. Gameplay is somewhere in between the Roottrees and Golden Idol.
I have made an honest effort to make the game deep (within the limits of a solo effort), long, and pretty. There is text parser, a search engine, an interactive pinboard, and a storyline to complete with clues you find along the way.
I am quite satisfied overall. However, this is my first mystery-type game and I find myself at a loss as to whether it is sufficiently engaging.
I intend to keep updating the game in the coming weeks as I get feedback, so your ideas to improve gameplay are welcome.
In particular, I would love to know if the search engine is interactive enough, i.e. if there are enough keywords and searches for the player not to get frustrated.
