Blown away by this! Super impressive idea and execution for the 48 hours. Loved piecing together clues.

I'm amazed that you have managed to create a detective game with 48h. I'm a fan of this desktop look. Really well done!

Very aesthetically pleasing (however I'm not a fun of the music used) with very fun gameplay. I liked that you can actually minimize the windows, and order them around.
There's a lot of useless information meant to distract player making the game harder which was a good choice in my opinion.

Nice job.

Very cool aesthetic had a blast putting it all together!

Only gripe I have is the windows at the bottom not having labels, making it tricky when you have like,  20 of them open at once.

Love this kind of games. Mystery might not have been that deep for this kind of game, but more than enough to leave me scratching my head (haven't played as many of these as I should), so I'm more than happy. Love that there were so many possible clues to go through so that you have to work out for yourself what's even relevant, that's a great way to make a detective game. Great job!

edit: Oh, and I really liked the music.

Definitely one of my favorite in this jam. I played through it 3 times to get the right culprit and I don't regret spending the time to do so. Very impressive to be able to get this done in 48 hours.

If I am to nitpick, I would say that there can sometimes be too many files opened in the taskbar, making it hard to find the right file that I want.

Great job!

The presentation on this is awesome!! The little wobble on the pins is such a nice touch and the color design is really striking..

I actually had a lot of fun playing this game I would totally purchase a full version with a more intricate story.
