  • Enormous potential and incredibly unique. The design of a sci-fi detective game is not common and integrated mechanics, such as a dossier and interrogation, that were really well-done. The worldbuilding and setting are strange and distinctive and leverage the engine well. I'm not quite sure what I just played, but it is a little window into something unique that I've not seen before, so it's been a highlight. Great work!

Cool atmosphere, but the objective isn't really clear. Besides, I wish there was more difference between the characters and a better way to keep track of them, since there isn't a way to tell if you have interrogated them or not (only some of them went to the "cell"). With a proper introduction and some tweaks, it can be a nice detective game!

The environment and setting are really cool, in a way that makes me want to see more of it. I think the investigations would be easier if the individual villagers were more distinct, but I know adjusting more meshes would have been a lot to ask for a jam.
Awesome work!

The world you have built here is FANTASTIC! The style is impeccable and was super immersive! Great stuff!

The landscape and characters are really well designed and I liked the storyline. The UI is really good for the time you had to work with but would love to see it enhanced post jam, and the game extended. Very cool entry.

ooooh!! You have made me smile ๐Ÿ˜ I don't know if at some point I will return to it, at least to translate it into Spanish, which is my native language, but if the logic could be expanded, I built it to admit more types of suspicion, I just didn't add more due to lack of time. I'm glad you liked it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Really interesting concept and a good aesthetic. I manged to get stuck in one of the menus after playing for a bit but I was enjoying it until then.

Developer

I'm glad you liked what you have to play and I'm really sorry if there was a mistake in the menu, totally my fault.

And what I have been working on the most was the UI but you are proof that it is never enough, there is always someone who manages to get stuck
