In what way does your game fit the theme?
Video tape surveillance that requires the player to rewind it to catch all of the details
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes and yes (apart from an icon and sounds/music for which I used copyright free assets credited in the game's description)

Just, pure amazement.
This game is Steam quality made in 7 days. If it was expanded a little bit I would buy it for 5$ EASILY on Steam. The radio is a cool touch, the settings drawer fits perfectly and the story is engaging.
Great job man, this is one of my favorite games!
this is super motivational to read thank you a ton man!
This was really fun, I enjoyed my time as the master Roblox detective.
Some notes:
- No detective game is ever finished without a giant board that you put pictures up and put lines between suspects and locations
- The tutorial VHS Tape being counted as one of the tape confused me for a while
- The main "puzzle" of the murder is actually quite simple, really all you need is to watch around 3 tapes for it
- The tape sounds stop for a while after the tape started playing, and there's no indicator for when the tape actually stops (especially in suspects statements)
Really fun for a mystery game, would definitely recommend
hey thanks for feedback.
true about the lines connecting suspects I wanted to make an ending cutscene but there was no time unfortunately.
hmm I wanted to show that "hey this is how you increase that number" without saying it
wanted to keep it simple for the jam but with a lot of missdirections
I'll look into the sound thing
thanks a lot for the feedback good luck in the jam :D
Nice murder mystery! Things are a little blur in security footage (i guess it emulates the blurriness of real life sec. footages :D, but if you pay attention you can find out that someone did something fishy) Some feedbacks:
hotkeys are a very good idea true!
a way to clean up I was thinking after submission but for post jam why not :D
thank you for the feedback
Saw that you posted on my game, so I returned the favor. Really nice concept! Made me feel like a detective.
makes really feeeeeeeel like a detective :P IGN 10/10
game crashed on launch unable to play
really? noooooooo :/ first time I hear this
did you try the low specs build as well?
Super interesting idea, and awesome execution! It's definitely an interesting take on the theme!!
thank you so much!! :D
SOOOOOOOOOO good! I loved this one. Got it wrong, but I will find the murderer of Elizabeth Brown!
I liked it a lot, but the motion blur was too much for me.
Cool concept. I enjoyed looking for the clues part since it's not always obvious. The space is well used to fit the game design. Good job! Rated!
Really great job)
it looks amazing! would appreciate if you will try out my game
I like it a lot. Only problem is it's a little difficult navigating around, I think part of it is that my laptop isn't running it well enough but I do think the blur effect while moving is a little too high. Overall though, it's amazing, and you are definitely very skilled at 3D art.
<3. yeah I will tone down the motion blur on a later update (post jam) thanks for the feedback :D
Great take on the theme. A little boring for me, but that's just me not liking these types of games. Well done!
brutally honest but appreciated <3
yeah this is a cool game, it looks and feels real nice https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-4/rate/723891 I would appreciate if you would try out mine : )
will sure do
thanks :
this is very awesome. alot of anylising and stug love the the take on the theme
thanks a bunch <3
I love this kind of games, very cool i love it ❤
thanks a bunch! :D
5/5 across the board I am hella impressed by everything in this, I hope you get #1 spot from all the games I've look at so far you really blew this out of the water.
omg! thank you so much mate!!!! :D <3
This was amazing! I can't believe I just spent 50 minutes watching video tapes and taking notes...
The only comment I will make is I wish there was some dead zone for the cursor. It would be nice to being able to center the view to the screen and freely move the cursor to the buttons.
And I couldn't find one of the tapes (possibly Jimmy Smith's) :(
Keep making games!
daaaaamn man what a nice feedback! I will look into the deadzone comment for post-jam update. <3
Things I liked, Honestly the whole game was pretty fantastic. You had a ton of animations, the world was highly interactable and the menu system was even built into it! Your idea for the rewind theme was really well done with the tapes and while I did have some stuttering at the beginning it lowered pretty quickly.
Things I didn't like, this was as much of a pro as it was a con but the player is left to piece a tad few many things together. If you even just had a clipboard keeping track of when everyone said they entered the theater that would have helped. Ultimately not the worst thing as that makes the act of guessing correctly that much more satisfying.
Overall I really enjoyed your game and I can't wait to see what other mysteries you bake up for us in the future!

wow thanks a ton mate. Had a blast playing your game as well :D looking forward to future projects
Loved the VHS in the game and the detective aspect of it! Really enjoyed the game, nice job!
thanks a bunch mate!
Not my cup of tea, but it's really, really well made. The effort you put into this is amazing
thanks a bunch mate :D
