Developer

Thank you!

This is very well done! I like the concept of being a time traveling detective. Also, the animated transition between scenes is really cool and I like the overall story. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you!

I really liked the Take on the theme and this story based game. The Graphics were really nice, the Transition was looking so awesome. Some things i have to critique is that the ending was a bit abrupt, you probably didnt have enough time for a better one. Also the Club looked a bit empty. The audio sounded good, but the mixing was a mess. Some sounds were really loud and others really quiet. I found a funny bug too where you can get out of the office and see you the one guy leaves and the boss is saying that he is a rat, and he is just standing there in front of the door. :D This is just nitpicking though i really liked your game!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. We were aware of some of the bugs you described but decided to devote the time to complete the game. We have a new version with the fixes which we will upload after the rating part ends.

Like the look of your game. The rewind mechanic is interesting. Would be cool if you could explore in the past time and then go back in the real time. Like the music and voiceacting too!

The game is great! The fact that this was done in a week is amazing! A great game overall with a nice story line but I did find the mouse sensitivity too low, so you might wanna fix that.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Please make sure you rated it :)

Submitted

I did checked right now

Submitted(+2)

nice game and grate effects. the only complaint I have is the slow mouse sensitivity.

Developer

Thanks of the feedback! I guess it depends on your mouse sensitivity settings. We didn't have enough time to add a setting for that.

Really great game! I can see it possibly being a real investigation game in the future :)

My positive points:

  • The voice overs are awesome, makes the game feel very alive
  • The models & effects are great
  • The story, although short probably because of time constraints, was really nice

My negative points:

  • The mouse movement on the horizontal axis is really bugged, which ruined the experience of the game sadly
  • The download size of the game is huge!

Overall an amazing game but with some critical bugs making it hard to enjoy sadly. Great work for making this game! :)

I'd appreciate if you play and rate our game too!

Thank you! About the mouse movement, the game was tested on very few machines with specific settings before the end of the jam, so it may depend on the computer you use.

Hope it didn't ruin the experience.

I've already rated your game :)

good

Great game, loved the audio and the grapics but the story was short and linear.

Developer

Thaks for the feedback! The story is indeed short for a full game. Also people don't devote a lot of time to try games, so it would be a waste of time to make it longer.

Really great audio work :)

Submitted(+2)

great game, loved the music

Submitted(+2)

Such a great game! The sounds are in point and also the variation of the red and blue in some parts of the game. With more time I imagine you can polish just a little bit the visuals. That's a amazing job!

Thank you! I actually fixed some of the bugs a  a few mintues after the jam ended, so it was too late :(

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyable storytelling experience. For me at least the mouse sensitivity in the game was very low and took a few seconds to fully rotate the character. Otherwise great job!

Developer

I think it's just for you. Thanks for telling me. If we had more time we would make some settings for that. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm so glad to see someone went with the detective idea, I had something similar up on my idea board when I was trying to decide what to do. The voice acting is actually REALLY well done, I'm super impressed. The story was simple but good. Overall I really enjoyed it. Couple of small things I noticed was that the character says 21st but the dialogue box says 21th lol (pretty insignificant) the other thing I found funny was that was the biggest Hard Drive I've ever seen! lol

Thank you!!

I really had a lot of fun playing your game! The Art Style is incredible and the gameplay was very nice and enjoyable! Thats a great game!

Submitted(+2)

It looks and sounds amazing, along with having a great story. I feel like it could have had a bit more dialogue or some extra options for people to talk too but everyone has a time limit good job :)

Submitted(+2)

This is quite the ambitious concept for a jam, well done!

Submitted(+2)

What you did it's cool, but it's not a game, it's more of a "story where you can move", it's not even possible to call it "Interactive" since it's just about following given instructions, the game plays itself without the player doing actually nothing.

Developer(+2)

Thanks! We appreciate your feedback. We wanted to do a storytelling game. Just play and enjoy the story :)
