How does your game fit the theme?
Actually, the main idea was to use the doors to find evidence, but now the game is not very related to it.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All the code was made by me. Also every graphics and sounds, except for characters sprites and hotel music.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Good job! I always like a good mystery game but at first had no clue how to skip dialog. Great music!

Submitted(+1)

I loved playing this game! I loved the story and the humor. It is really well polished. I think it was just the right difficulty, which is really hard to do in a game jam.

Maybe use grid based movement to make it easier to move around? That would make it easier to make interactions more precise, and I think that it would fit the art style very well.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'll try to polish the movement in future updates :)

Enjoyed playing through the game! I loved the retro graphics, kinda reminded me of the Pokemon games on the Gameboy. Overall, great work!

Not bad for a first case detective 😄 It was a fun little mystery, and the self-aware humor made it better! The Ace Attorney vibe is also appreciated "Let me ask YOU a question detective" haha

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I used ace attorney as a great inspiration on the accusation part, I like a lot the dialogues of these games lol

Great game! I do like detective game with the sense of humour in the dialogue and I think this game is one of them.

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! I always love a good mystery. I enjoyed that I didn't totally have to figure it out, the detective explained everything for us at the end. Overall a pretty fun little adventure game!

First things first, this game is very polished, and actually, there is not much to add or change about it, in my opinion.

You could consider binding the USE and SKIP DIALOGUE button to the same key because there really isn't any reason why they should be different keys at the moment. You are only able to do one of the two things, so it would never conflict with itself. If you were to do that, it would also be very easy to use a more common control theme like pressing E for interactions. You could also add dedicated audio sliders for SFX and music, but there is really no need to do so. At the current state, there is not really a point in allowing the player to move diagonally, so you could either remove that ability to hide the lack of a diagonal walking animation without affecting gameplay, or you could add animations for that, of course. The overall tone and atmosphere of the game are very well crafted, and although I am really not a huge fan of games like this, I enjoyed this short little game. Very well done, good job!

Developer

Im not a gamer so I'm not expert about controls and stuff, so you said something really helpful here! I'll redo the controls and of course add the possibility to change it as you prefer in he settings.

Really, thank you for your feedback, this will help me a lot <3

Very well done!

Developer

Thx :)

Just an awesome piece of work.  Some dialogue lines make me smirk. Especially want to appreciate a nice and warm color palette.

Only thing that would make it even better for me, it is the possibility to ruin the case with incorrect conclusions, but overall, i loved it. Best design ive saw on this jam so far.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for this kind comment <3

About the incorrect conclusions, I thought about something similar, a bad ending would be a great addition.

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic game I love it! Very high degree of completion! I really enjoyed playing it through. The case investigating process was easy and smooth, and the dialogue was very interesting. Also the characters' animation performance is quite rich! The testify part reminds me of Ace Attorney LOL I was so afraid of giving a wrong evidence. Very good job!

Developer

Hey bro thank you! Ace Attorney was my main inspiration, I love the trilogy ;p

Submitted(+1)

Very cute artstyle! I love the music choice too. The dialoges were hilarious! Great work!

Developer

Thank you :D

Another hotel themed game :D

The arstyle was cute and the muted colour pallette was a good choice. It felt a little weird though how the characters are a lot wider when facing towards/against the camera than sideways. Solving the case was quite fun and interesting. A complete detective game is rare to see in game jams. The music started to get a little annoying quickly.

But overall, really good game.

Developer

hello, thank you for the feedback!

I agree the music is a bit repetitive, but I hope it didn't mess your experience, I'll try to find a way to make it even better

I'm glad you liked the case, I'm not a good writer but I did my best lol

Submitted(+1)

reminds me of Undertale or Pokémon, good work man, especially liked the funny dialogue bits!

Developer

It's good to see that people liked the dialogues a lot haha thank you!!

Submitted(+1)

Vary cool graphics! Reminds me of old pokemon games. Dialogues are funny

Developer

Thanks bro!

Submitted(+1)

Really well done! I absolutely loved how hilarious the dialogues were, even the delivery was funny in my head because of how it was timed. The case was really good for a jam game, and i loved the role of doors through out. Well done! 

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
