In what way does your game fit the theme?
Charlie, our deviant detective, rewinds recorded alibis to reconstruct them into confessions.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote all of the code ourselves. Many textures, models, and soundtracks were pre-made, but the rest was made during the jam.

An amazing game. I love the effort put into it. I must say I was going to do a similar one, but I couldn't. This is one of the best games I played so far. Great work to the team.

Droidal EscapeThe hmtl version is a bit buggy, but the standalone was perfect, I really love the climate and aesthetic of this game, aswell as the writing and the gameplay. Overall an excellent entry

Final ShotAmazing artstyle, super catchy!
if you'd like, try mine one too! Remember that in the third level due to a bug it doesn't show up the "press shift to rewind" text.

In de RetroI loved the feel and audio. Strong application of the theme. A suggestion would to be have a UI element that visually tracks the sentence as the audio is playing, a few times I struggled to line up the clicks I needed to make, when I knew what I was trying to splice together. Great game, a fun playthrough!
Man I think your game has a LOT of potential. Its a interstign new kind of puzzle in a way, I just wanted the controls to be better, for me the fun was in finding what phrase is the solution not trying to record, so if it was easier to record what I want it would be better imo.

SI.RT.ETI loved the Audio and the Idea. The Controls were a bit fiddly and i had to quit one level with the blackmail thing, because it got too hard. I always tried to record the sentence while being paused. :D Even though it doesnt make sense you could have added that for better Player experience. Overall great submission.

The Murder of Elisabeth BrownSimply the best entry so far. Very clever done, nice graphics, sound is on spot and everything fits together nicely. Doesn't look like a jam game at all. Great job!

Asteroid MazeThis game was great! It is a cool concept. The art and audio was amazing, and the statements felt like something a real person would say. My one criticism is that it felt like the rewinding just made it feel annoying to pick the right words, but otherwise it is great!
