How does your game fit the theme?
You have to uncover the truth of a murder in a psychiatric clinic, by trying to dive deeper into notes of patients.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code were made by me, Half of the assets were made by me, other half was taken from free online resources

Was a fun experience! So many died, cause i didnt find the murderer first try..
Looking forward to see the polished version after the jam :D
Would love if this were a little more polished and had some music and refined UI! In terms of gameplay, I tried clicking on the first thing I saw, submitting it as evidence, picking a suspect at random, and immediately accusing them. Spoiler: The Heavenly Court accepted and condemned them to death by boiling XD I was a little taken aback, there was a disconnect between the art style, the process of the game, and the violent death. But ultimately I laughed and had a nice time. Fun narrative!
that's what happens when you have to write several endings to a game within 30 minutes xD
I will polish it for a regular release, but the jam version, at least for now, will remain the same.
LOL! That's funny though. Cool that you put that last effort in till the very end though, you made it!! :D
I loved the intrigue, and I would love to continue playing when I can figure out what to do after reading all the profiles and studying doodles (I'm just dumb, probably, ahaha)
Our game is a murder investigation too! Check it out if you are into them
It lacks audio, and it needs it honestly.
I found the UI to be nice.
Good graphics and interesting detective story)
LoOK gOOd
At the beginning of the game, sometimes I press space and nothing happened. Did you put the input detection in FixedUpdate?
If you have time, please take a look at my game, thank you.
Very interesting to read all the notes with drawings (Amogus one is great ngl). Overall interesting entry, although I didn't understand what "the ending is 2" means.
Hey we did a mystery game too!
I don't really enjoy text-adventure games so maybe this just wasn't the game for me. For a text-based game it was a bit jarring with all the grammar mistakes but I was able to grasp the general idea. I think the Ui and the animations are the strongest part of the game, and I also liked that there were multiple ways of keeping notes on the suspects. Overall a good game!
Great game! <3
The game lacks some quiet music in the background so its not distracting and SFX of going through pages etc. etc.
Also they are Among us! Thank you for adding that in haha! I enjoyed solving the mystery!
Interesting game! I like that you can take notes in-game. The evidence feature feels a bit wonky, I have no idea if it did anything because the checkboxes wouldn't stick.
Could definitely use some background music and little sounds sprinkled on player interactions, but that's the challenge of time management during game jams :D
Good job!
Great game ! It has nice graphics and the note system is well implemented. Everything seems to work smoothly which create a really good player experience. These types of games benefit from great UI which is clearly the case for your game. On a small note, I am sure you thought of it but having sounds could have perfected the experience. Nonetheless, that is a really nice submission !
Thank you. Yes, I thought about music and sound effects, and the reason I haven't added them is because of poor time management :)
The coolest "mystery" game ive seen in the jam so far, very cool.
Cool submission. Liked the characters and the atmosphere created by the assets. Lacked music though. congrats :)
Great game. I love these kinds of detective games where you just have a crime, and a bunch of stuff. some important, some not so. I also really enjoyed the notes machanic where you can take notes at all sorts of places and such.
My only complaint would be that there was no sound and the endings felt a bit abrupt. But I get that thats probably because of the limited time in a jam. But I still really enjoyed it, making theories of who thinks what and who's wife left them.
It was great. Keep it up♥
