A deduction game with beautiful handdrawn characters within 4 days of game jam? Yes, please! The literal take on the scale theme is great to be combined with the deduction mechanic. Enjoyed going through the little story of every character. Enjoyed your game so far. :)

Great game and great characters! the only thing kinda bad was that towards the end i could just called the bluff on every single statement without much reasoning.

Intern at the 161Cute game! I enjoyed playing through all of it. I can't say I fully understand why some of my judgments were deemed bad... maybe the game would be better if it were a bit less cut-and-dry. But I understand why you did it this way-- much simpler to do given the time restraints, and I think it was done well. :)

Scales of OlympusVery interesting play on the theme. The hand drawn artwork was really nice. Music was quite relaxing.
Post-jam, I'd recommend adding more sound effects and just a little animation to the characters while they're being judged.

SerpentineCool concept! I like how judging them does require you to pay attention to what they're saying. It's also interesting how they all have some depth to their character so we learn more about them as we judge them. Nice cozy game that keeps you on your toes. Great work!

Plugged-InReally neat take on the theme! I found it a bit difficult to tell whether people were lying or not, but maybe that's just me. I enjoyed the broad cast of characters, and the art was drawn very nicely.
