Overall the game's really good, but the one thing I still don't quite get is the layout of the house, particularly when it comes to the [redacted] coming down from upstairs. It made me get 13/14 my first two attempts, lol. Was the butler's room supposed to be on the second floor? And are the stairs south of the dining hall entrance?
A fun mystery. This game kept me engaged throughout (though you are dangerously close to visual novel territory). The art was nice, and the writing was well done. I have some minor critiques regarding stuff that needed to be polished, but that’s typical for any jam game:
- text needs to scroll from left to right. When it’s centered like that I can’t read it until the entire line is finished scrolling
- dialogue font looks squished. Difficult to read. Would definitely have chosen a different font
- Uncle puzzle had a weird thing where after solving it it didn’t do anything for a bit and somehow I ended up back in the foyer. Definitely needs smoothing out
- accuse screen needs to save previous selections so you can fill it in over time – had to go check a couple things and wound up refilling the whole form, which is tedious
- final scene auto scrolls faster than I can read
- the [REDACTED] may have confessed, but I still think it’s the cat
Overall, super well done. Congrats to you all!
Yooo thanks for the feedback Mist, greatly appreciated! Yeah for sure, this has been a learning experience for all of us and I'm personally surprised we were able to submit it in time! I hope you had a good time making your game and thank you for teaching me what pretentious meant.
