The art. It's my first time doing handdrawn art for a game and I think it went well :)

Awesome art style. The monochromatic nature gives it a noir aesthetic.
And the drag and drop mechanic of ASK, THINK and GO is really unique and very clever.
Superb game
Great art, characters and dialogue system! I like how you can go back to the lake and treat Frank kinda like a therapist and how the ending implies you figured out exactly what happened. Clever.
The dialogue system is really cool! I've never seen anything like it before. I appreciated how it requires a bit more thought than a basic choose A/B/C lines to continue, but it was still straightforward to know what to ask about. I could definitely see this system used in a full game where asking about certain things to certain people unlocks secret dialogue choices.
The art style is fantastic and very cohesive! The 2-sprite flickering gives it a lot of life. Overall great work!
The art worked very well for the game! I like the drag-and-drop style of interacting with people and objects, it was also nice that links between things were always obvious, so I never had to check every option always.
Thank you! Very good to hear that it was clear enough, that you didn't have to check everything :D
Liked the art style and dialogue system! It needs sound and a better and longer story. Good job ^^
Thank you!
Yea, I agree that the story is lacking. Ran out of time in the end, but am happy with the art/dialogue system :)
