Nice game i love the art style and the music as well as the idea, i just wish there was more content, solid entry tho!
Though it’s a prototype, it’s an interesting small detective game with potential to expand further. It requires quite a bit of thinking to solve the cases. Good job!
Feel free to check out and review my game as well.
This is a great prototype! It's really short with 2 cases; overall fits the theme okay. Art was really good!
Overall, great and polished proof of concept!
Thank you! It is very tiny, yeah. I just wasn’t able to do more with the time constraint
Great job for 1 week. The visuals were great. I love the concept. This game has huge potential and I would love to see more in the future. But overall, well done
Great game. I just wish it were longer. Good job. Keep it up.
Oh how everything works feels very nice! Very good jon on this. The case is very simple but with a little bit of time I think you can doa really neat thing with this!
Thanks a lot!
Good Job , i hope if you can develop it more in the future,
Fun case to solve, I wish there were more. Great work!
Thank you!
Really like the art on this one! It's a short but sweet fun game. Good job
Thanks!
This game has potential. I hope there are more levels. Good job tho
You say "its quite bad" but I can see the care put into everything here, like the clues, the art, and the music. The art was really good especially. I also appreciate the literal red herring. Great work!
That’s really kind of you to say, thank you :)
thank god I'm not a real detective, I only got it right after exhausting all options lol
even though it was short I had fun and the visuals were all beautiful. Its a great idea and I could see many different cases being fun to solve in this way too
Excellent work, one of the best I've played so far. The hand drawn texture around objects when hovering over looked really good. I was slightly confused by the numbering of the clues being /3 and then a 4th clue appeared. Also, for me the music wasn't doing too much - maybe some ambience instead to sell where the player currently is located, am I in the police office (quiet background office sounds) am I in the alleyway (street sounds)?
Appreciate the kind words and feedback! The clue numbering is just an oversight and totally embarrassing haha
Great game! The mystery was fun to solve and the visuals and audio worked very nicely with each other
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Really clever use of the theme! I'm delighted by the concept of this game, and I had fun playing. I also really liked the music and visuals! You picked the track very well, good detective vibes and unobtrusive, and the art was lovely. The caprese salad in particular was gorgeous. The only thing I couldn't quite figure out was what was up with the fish in the office.
That’s some very high praise, thank you! The fish is supposed to be a literal red herring — it’s just a pun
OH MY GOD. I've been reading enough murder mysteries lately that it's embarrassing I didn't put that together, oh my god!!!
I absolutely love mystery games, I've played all the Hercule Poirot ones :) I really love your game, it's fantastic, congratulations on all your hard work
Thank you so much!
