So I was playing the games in submission order and I gotta confess, I kept being tempted to jump the queue and play this one early. And it was just as great as I hoped. The absolute most complex and tricky deductions in the jam and a very generous number of them. I really enjoyed the puzzles to work out which horse goes in which stall and the guard schedules. Plus, after playing a good 50 hardboiled detective games in a row, the setting was a nice change of pace. (One suggestion: It might be nice to have a puzzle that matches names to sigils as an intermediate step to the stable puzzle.)
this is a pretty good game and i enjoyed it! i like the story and the fairytale theme as well. i managed to get the names right but i didn’t manage to open the castle door. i think figuring out where the guards are based on time is too troublesome. all in all, great job!
