I liked to folklore part in this game (as german). I didn't finish it in the first run, but saved it and will come back. The graphics are nice and fit the game. With only very little effort of adding free music I would have played it longer in the first run.

Fun little game! I was initially a little confused that hearing the tavern person's story ends the current mystery, but everything made sense after that. I liked the concept a lot, and it was fun to read about different folklore creatures and try and figure out who the villagers were describing. And kudos for the recursion wildcard, it's a tough one!

Nice concept, unfortunately I don't like reading.

Wow, really loved this. The journal was clear to reference with tabs and all.

Loved the way interacting with environments were done, with separating static info on right and events currently happening on the left. Really nice mystery, loved this!

Really interesting game, you feel really invested in this to discover the truth and it was really cool reading about the creatures and figuring out the cases, I had a lot of fun. Really good job !

Nice whodunit game, usually I can find games like this a bit overwhelming but you did a good job at pacing the game out. I would have preferred some ambience through background noise. Overall though it was a fun little game.

Very fun and original game! I love the take on the whodunit genre, using the folklore theme. Looking forward to see more of your games :-)

I really liked the art and use of the theme. Very nice folklore elements. I would have liked to have had some sort of background music playing in the overworld or in the individual locations. Like some chattering and music in the tavern etc.. Trying to figure out the puzzle of whodunit was fun and engaging
