Thank you so much for your comment! We are truly sorry about your negative experience, this was our first game jam and we applied a day later from the beginning, we basically worked for 16 hours straight and weren't able to manage the pressure in the end. I had probably forgot to close the condition, try to play and write the name correctly, writing name and surname as it showed in the diary (including the miss/sir if it's in the name).

The pause mechanic is supposed to be the notebook, only when you pause the game you can review the clues and the countdown stops, I understand it needs a bit more polishing to be more clear. 

Hope you'll like the final, we intend to expand and fix the game once the game jam is over, and write a couple more adventures for detective Chillettoni in the future!
