This is the starting of a solid gameplay loop. I did have the game crash on me while trying to talk to one of the people (towards the bottom of the screen in the hotel lobby) and another when trying to enter the door at the bottom of the screen in the hotel lobby. Due to the 2nd crash, I didn't attempt to play through anymore. Main areas I could see improved is a more consistent art style, and a more buttoned up gameplay experience (less crashes). You made good audio choices and the main detective gameplay loop seemed to be pretty good

Perspective DetectiveThis game was a cool experience to have. I like the idea of a murder mystery and figuring out clues from the inside out and the art, especially the portraits came out amazing! The movement animations look a bit off for this genre and it did felt off putting seeing the drastic contrast between in-game characters and the portraits at the same time as someone mentioned. In the beginning I was trying to read the text, but I wasn't fast enough as they go to the next section, it also became too much text later in the game that I just started skimming through everything. As I was trying to figure out the mystery, I interacted with a door and then my game crashed. Besides those nitpicks, this game has a lot of potential to be something incredible!

Duality's Endcool! I made a mystery game too, but it's cool to see how much ours differ. I really like the art, and the retro vibe with the digitized image of the manor during the cutscene reminds me of my favorite aesthetics! I think this game could benefit from a different font to fit the old-timey mystery feel, and the portraits might look more fitting if they were lower resolution to match the game. Overall, it's a ambitious idea for a game and pulls of a nice atmosphere :D

Cat's Got Your Tongue- Controls are really finicky, it feels like you are always gliding on the ground
- This one is more of a nitpick, but the buttons kind of blend with the background and sometimes i miss them
- This might be a bug but the character for Jack Moore showed up as a dog?
- I tried going to my room at the hotel and i got softlocked because i forgot the pincode
- I couldn’t really follow up with the story
- The graphics seemed all over the place with the pixel art and the portraights and the regular font and all the UI
Overall it’s a 4/10, it could be more but it feels really rushed
