This was fun! I liked the deductions and having chat is a neat way to do a mystery game!

Short and sweet! This was a fun little deduction puzzle, and I enjoyed the "retro corporate" feel of the graphic design. I didn't feel at any point that I was getting bored or had too little to go on. The cheerful visual effect on solving a set of three was a nice touch, too. Congrats on the jam submission!
Thanks Shmael! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Spoiler in rot13:

Very fun little game with a great mechanic.
One suggestion - I was perplexed for a long time because it turns out I had all the answers correct, but when I clicked "guess" it only confirmed the first 3. I had to re-click to confirm the other 3. I would expect it to confirm all 6 at once if they were all correct, so I was hunting around for ages trying to figure out what I'd got wrong.
Excellent small deduction--you really understood the essence of what makes the Obra Dinn puzzles work! Didn't give the player too much information but made perfect sense once I worked it out. My only issue was that a couple times the dialogue option wouldn't click, but reloading the chat fixed it. Definitely think about building this out into a bigger game!
I thought that was a very refreshing and interesting concept :) Very nice and took me about 5-10min to solve. Could definitely see you expanding on that idea with more features and a full on story, but great prototype.
One comment : I think the start button is not doing anything ? Maybe it's not needed or I was confused by why it's there.
