The Case of the Serialized Killer version 1.2

The Case of the Serialized Killer
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello all! In preparation for the Steam Release, I've been making some quality of life adjustments to The Case of the Serialized Killer! Version 1.2 is mostly the same as original, but has a few changes:

  • Navigation through the mansion is now done via map! This comes into play when Hawley and Harry are first exploring, and then again during the investigation section in the second half of the game,
  • Script Edits! One of the challenges of any murder mystery is how to introduce suspects without bogging down pacing. The first exploration section has been moved after Myers' introduction, which should hopefully break up that section a bit. A couple other mechanics have been clarified a bit, and there have been a couple bits and bobs added.
  • Sound Effects have been added to the journal, and the page corners now visually highlight when you hover over them,
  • A few more sound effects in general have been added to the game,
  • The alerts when Hawley writes a note are much clearer now; the sound effect is louder, and the journal icon blinks for a moment,
  • Hawley's imp section has had a couple graphical edits,
  • Sprites auto-highlight when characters are talking,
  • Minor menu touch-ups,
  • Additional CGs! We got as much art into the original as we could, but it was somewhat lacking in the CG department. There are now four more CGs, including one in the true end!

I played through the whole game again a few times to test, but please let me know if you find any issues with the build. Please enjoy!
