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.

I just fixed a small bug in the tutorial thanks to Solo Man Games. For some reason, the tags were slightly displaced in the last bit of the tutorial, which made some of the text unreadable.

Thanks for reporting it.

very nice concept and vibe! tutorial was very clear, and I can see this working in many levels, as an educational game for example. and have you had any thoughts on music? it would really help the mood and storytelling
