Damn, Pepe has charmed me when his eyes goes all shiny. I quite like the premise and visuals are nice (purpleeee). Congrats on your first jam! I think you guys are doing a pretty good job with this one and all the best in your ventures in game making! :D

Cool premise!

Is there no sound, or was it just not working on my computer?

Thanks, and thanks for checking out the game!

It doesn't have any sound currently. This was the first jam for all of us, so we kept things as simple as possible. Maybe down the road!

Very cool idea, would be great to see it developed further! Fun twist on the usual investigation puzzle gameplay. Unfortunately found myself caring about the clients while trying to scam them out of their money... but I'm glad we kinda help them through some stuff in the end :,)

Really clever concept! I enjoyed it a lot.
