This was really fun! I played twice and honestly I didn't expect that the culprit actually changes each time, that's crazy impressive especially for a game jam! The difficulty also felt good to me, it wasn't too easy to figure out. Great work!!

(spoilers) I caught one issue on my 2nd playthrough: Jensen said it was him who found the body but D'Angelo told me the Butler was the one who found it. Rain was the culprit that time. I think this was probably unintentional since I didn't see any reason why either of them would lie about that

Thanks for the review! And thanks for playing it twice! We really had fun trying to tie together all the different scenarios. That was a good point you picked up, one area we forgot to cross-reference across scenarios. Will flag that for fixing in a later build.

This is an amazing little whodunit, voice acting and character art are top notch. Love the twist at the end and the brilliant writing. All round great game, excellent work from this team!
