omg i was waiting for your review so much and so glad to see it😍 If i get it right, you mean you played it a day ago, but it was so much that you needed time to digest it???? If so i'm honored:> Being able to "break hearts and minds" is exactly what i'm striving for! I want my stories to be as dramatic as possible. In previous reviews people kinda split between those who noticed only comedy elements and thos who appreciated deep dialogs and story... You put it all in place, i guess both were right:> I must say i didnt have a certain plan when i started to make the game. I knew it would be a dark and gloomy story, with a lot of dark police humor of "i'm too old for this shit" style. But midway i suddenly wanted to add some tragedy. For me Eveness is a very tragic character, i broke my own heart by what i've done to her😭 She was supposed to be a cheerful young detective with a bright future.... and was sacrificed for the sake of drama:((( But it seems for everyone else she was simply a villain that you must hate😔
I'm glad you noticed that the story combines classic murder mistery and paranormal elements. (tho in that world spirits of dead people is a scientifical phenomena,as you know after playing "Pieces". But most people think they are just echoes and can't affect this world directly. That's why Evaness couldnt talk to anybody about what she saw...)
I'd like to know what parts where the game explained an important event in text form instead of showing it? It will be useful to know for future improvement.
Oh and also - whom did you suspect? I wanted the moment you realize Evaness was behind it all to be a shock, i'm not sure if i succeded...
Huge thanks for amazing review as always!🖤
yeah, legit needed to digest the story because it was so dramatic haha. sorry to have kept you waiting! i wanted to play your game sooner, along with playing all the other jam entries, but sadly stuff came up and i don't think i'll be able to do it in time :( at least i'm glad to have played this one!
i don't recall exactly what those parts where, but if i remember correctly after you escape evaness there's text that explains how you got out and reached the mayor's mansion. and there also was a moment where you're at the police station, there's a fade to black and it explains that the characters investigated the mayor's mansion, and you're back again at the police station. just struck me as odd cause it made it look like nothing had actually happened.
i thought the mayor did it! seemed suspicious how people talked about him but he rarely ever appeared in person, and his name showing up in the dream solidified that theory haha. it was really shocking to find out it was evaness! legit didn't think she was suspicious for a single second lol.
