I really enjoyed this point-and-click game and the combining mechanic! The music added great tension, and the overall presentation is amazing. Fantastic job!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
I love the concept and look of the game! I love games like this and I think you did great! Awesome job!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!
The ambiance is really nice and loved the interaction with the characters. The fact that you put the story at the beginning sets the game and it's really good.
Really nice game, good job!
Thanks! I really appreciate it
I had to play a second time so I could look at everything but the story had me HOOKED great job!
I'm glad you like it!
The game looks promising. It hooks me with the premise. But the time limit kills the joy for me :(
hope there was no time limit so I can gradually find out the culprit
Thanks for the feedback! The time limit is part of the premise of the game, and there are multiple endings based on how long it took you to solve the crime, but I might increase the time to allow more exploration and have more margin of error for the good ending.
Ah! Thank you for that
Great murder mystery vibe, but the combining stuff was tricky. Almost cracked the case, though!
I'm glad you like it! And yeah, the combining mechanic might need some polish or have additional information in the leads that could let you know what items combine. Thanks for the feedback!
The game looks visually great, i personally don't enjoy these types of games unfortunately but your implementation felt really solid especially for something created in such a short amount of time
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Extremely well put together and very compelling! Had some issues with the combining mechanic and could not find the compartment in the wall, but overall very well made!
The compartment in the wall required the use of an object, maybe I could have been clearer about it in the description.
Really fun and captivating game, everything helps you piece together the story in just the right ways! Though I did find the combining mechanic a little bit difficult as I had no idea what to create or what recipes I should use, but overall very interesting!
Also what is a Japanese peanut?
Thanks for the feedback! Japanese peanuts are a snack, a type of large peanut with a very special flavor. Not sure if they are really japanese or not, but I like them a lot.
The idea is cool and the implementation is cool too
