How does your game fit the theme?
In the typical murder mystery game the player is tasked with finding clues and making deductions to uncover the series of events that occurred and figuring out who is the guilty party. In Justice Derailed your goal is to lie, hide evidence, and distract the investigator to strategically move suspicion between the suspects such that none of the guilty party are accused and the murder remains unsolved by the end of the game.

Really nice art and great idea to take this type of gameplay on this theme ! It was a bit hard for me to get the end but that was fun ! It could totally be developed in a larger game where you have different plot lines impacting (and maybe helping ?).
It's hard to control random to avoid the player to have 5 times in a row the same character but that could also be a thing to check !
I loved this game, and I cannot get enough of it!
Super fun and very easy for "just one more try!" I feel with more events both in quantity and variation this could really take off, what you have already is really fun. Love the role reversal twist!
This was a very wonderful experience and so well put together. It has everything: nice humor, engaging gameplay, cool art and music, and even story. It's very simple, yet so fun to play and just enjoy. Congtrats on releasing a very cool and fun game!
I love this, the music, writing, and premise fit together really well! Only downside is I got 3 exact same cards in a row once.
Very cool. The music and art fit together really well with the humour in the writing, and it was a fun experience. Loved the writing; I laughed several times.
I don't have much else to add; everything works well in the contained experience this is. I would have liked there to be some way to throw someone under the bus, maybe for a temporary reduction in suspicion to get you through a tricky spot. Also, the stops seemed like a missed opportunity; I would have liked to see something happen at each stop/leg. Maybe an event, or a drop in suspicion for everyone as the sleuth gets distracted or something, or a way to drop a very suspected member (or just a random one) of the crew (i.e. a betrayal!)?
Thanks Jaco, glad you enjoyed it.
Agreed there's potential for more events and different storylines to unfold depending on the cards chosen.
