Not gonna lie, maybe a bit too much reading than I usually go for in games 😅
But the concept itself is fire! Good stuff!
this is a really cool and unique take on the theme, really excellent work!!
Really sick game! The characters' voices reminded me a lot of Dave the Diver, or Undertale, which I appreciated. Very creative idea and great job!
My first straight 5 star review. I really enjoyed this very well written and all around polished. It knew the vibe it was going for and just stuck with it. It reminded me of a book I read a while back called Miricle Creek (and i loved that book!).
There were certainly some possible improvements I though of, like being able to skip intro dialogue to get straight to questions the second time through and also having the music play straight away (because that was so smooth and only enchanced the game!).
But yeah, great take and brilliant execution. Thank you!
Hahah noo way, THANKS SO MUCH!
I'm very thankful for you kind words and input.
I added a fastforward with CTRL to skip until the next choice (which can be used to skip the intro).
But you are totally right, I should have added a skip button that instantly skiped.
The music is true as well.
Appreciate it a lot, means the world! :D
Cool detective very narrative little project ! The only real problem I got when playing was the sound of the people talking that I found a little bit annying while reading but it was a nice story
This submission really hits on the narrative side, the graphics is nice and fitting, I also liked the sounds used for the voices of the characters. I was hoping that when the interrogator says "noted", notes would appear on the registry with all the suspects, maybe it's a missing feature? Anyway I really enjoyed the game.
I like the fact that video tapes are still around in 2035 :D, but who knows some public administrations still use floppies today.
Wow, thank you for the nice comments!
Yea the notes where a feature I didn't have time to include.
I wanted the player to be able to write in the notes, but your idea might even be better!
That's actually such a smart way to make it a bit easier for the player.
Thank you for the idea! :D
And yea, the tapes is a joke to some public administrationss still using "ancient" technology. :P
Thank you for playing!
Really great little mystery game, and very fitting of the theme! I kinda wish you could skip repeated dialogue, but otherwise was very smooth
Really interesting take on 'Her story' with the loops! Lots of content for a 96h-jam, which is cool. I feel like the overall experience could maybe be a bit smoother (like allowing to skip the intro/outro of the dialogs, that kind of stuff), but overall a very nice game, and a cool twist at the end :D
Thank you!
Didn't know about that game, but it looks so cool! Thank you for pointing that out.
Yea, gameplay-wise wasn't the best execution on my part :P
I added the skip button (CTRL/SHIFT) to fast-forward until the next choice, which kind of makes you skip the intro.
But you are right, I should have added a skip button.
Thank you for the kind words!
So thankful that you even played to the end! :D
I love the story. It is very interesting and original. And I like the artwork and concept. But we can't lose the game. And it would be great if there was a more dialogue. Anyway the game is great, Well done!
An overall good game that's really different to what a lot of other people did. Good job!
The art and general audio set a great vibe, and the dialogue + story was interesting too! This could be a great setting for more cases if you’d like to expand upon the game. Well done!
Really enjoyed your game – I think the tone and the mystery were really well set. I think I wish I had just one more mechanic to work with besides choose the branching dialog, but overall it's a great piece of work and really feels like a full game so bravo

This had a great vibe, I could definitely see it getting fleshed out into something larger. Great job!
The cassette tape into the TV was so smooth, and really enhanced the game's ambiance. Really creative and well done!
