Nice game, does a good job setting up the story and defining characters. Intro section was great!

Nice game, I enjoyed solving the murder mystery, quit an ambitious idea for a game jam, however it was executed Nicely. Good Game!
I really liked the idea of a murder mystery. It's a bit short though. Also, it's unrealistic that aliens would use a language that's the exact same as English with a different alphabet though. Maybe a logographic language would be better for the alien language.
Good effort!
I liked it! Something that would help clarity would be giving differently colored names to each of the characters. I had a hard time figuring out who was talking. Great entry though!
Forgot to say so earlier but i added your suggestion in an update along with a small bugfix. Thanks for that, I'm glad you like it!
