This was a very well polished game. I would recommend that you have a little arrow, like a comic speed bubble arrow, coming out of the dialogue box over the person talking. I found it confusing trying to figure out who was talking. Other wise, great job. :)

That's a good idea, thank you!

Very fun game, I like all the different paths you can take! I didn't manage to get 5/5 yet. I do wish the buttons had a bigger part in the gameplay, but it's a fun mechanic. Well done!

Really great experience, ms porter didn't like my stuff :D A really cool idea, congrats on the game!

Good job!

This is a very interesting game. I really enjoyed going through the dialogue options trying to figure out all the best paths, and I eventually got the 5/5.  Great work!

Well definitely an interesting setup.  I had quite a time trying to trick Hoodunit and a bit of weirdness trying to trick Rea, but an interesting game overall with some nice storylines to find.  Hoodunit is definitely the roadblock avoiding the 5/5.  Assuming it's possible.

Otherwise though I do have to say some of the questions felt a little tricky.  For example Doily and his fathers response to whether he was jealous or not ending one essentially the same note, but one failing, and one winning etc.  Though that does sort of come with the territory of these games.  Since you're not picking every single line throughout obviously.  Gotta have a bit of a story.  I just feel like it was a bit of a 180 there.


There does seem to be some legitimate info though which is interesting.  At least assuming Hoodunit is a reference to an existing person,m,  maybe.  Otherwise though there's some interesting character specific reactions for sure which is nice and quite a few little tricks throughout, mainly from Hoodunit, and a bit from the reporter.

Overall, an interesting experience that has me wondering what other storylines I can uncover and info I can discover about the people in the game.  So in my opinion a well done game.

Very well made game with an interesting idea, very original. I have played multiple times to check the different choices :3

Good job and have fun jamming!! ^^

Submitted

Wonderful idea to play as a psychic - I enjoyed trying out the different paths that there were some really funny moments. Great work!

Submitted

Amazing game and a brilliant concept - keep up with your game dev career I'm sure you'll get far with this imagination!

I'd like to see this concept developed even further, perhaps including violent prankster ghost/demon. Imagine the faces of the spiritualists if one of them was suddenly turned into GIBS haha! 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹👅🥵👅🥵

creative and very fun! I wish there was an easier way to reset than to reload the page and redo the cutscene, because it's inevitable to want to redo things, but I really enjoyed it. Great job!

this fits so well nito the theme. didnt fool mr. hoodunit the first time i played but i will eventually XD

Submitted

The atmosphere is really cool! The concept is immersive with the thoughts of the character we're playing who admits to be a scammer. That's an original way to treat the theme, I enjoyed it!

Great job! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

A simple game, maybe a bit boring. It would've been fun if they would've been scared after the middle button sound. 

Submitted

Damn that was really cool. Definitely something else. Great work!

I LMAO at this game! Tons of fun playing as a phony psychic, and I like the article that you get to read at the end. I would totally play a longer version.

Submitted

I am not much of a visual novels guy, but this was really cool. One downside was the randomness as someone mentioned already. Like, it was a coin flip pretty much for every decision.

During a certain segment, the man in the middle was missing a face. Spooky!

very interesting game it fits the theme well
