Really neat entry! It's hard to pull off a detective story, and I think your team did a great job - a nice balance of mystery and story, and very fun & distinct-feeling characters. Congrats on the submission!!
Thank you so much! We’re happy you liked the narrative and characters, we had a lot of fun making them!
Beautiful artwork. Such a twist at the end
Thank you so much!
You're welcome
OMFG! Stan Hyewt Hall (the exterior shot of the mansion)! We went on 2 field trips there in grade school. I knew that place was shady! I enjoyed the way the manor is navigated.
NO WAYYYYY! That's incredible, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The backgrounds look really cool, how did you do it?
Our games are judged. That's cool. I'll wait for the fixes you mentioned to play again. :)
Thank you so much! We actually just noticed the judging finished, so a new, updated version has been uploaded!
The backgrounds were taken from a very useful art pack by user Ebbasuke. Free to use, no AI. We tinkered with brightness and filters to better suit the color palette for our UI and overall narrative. I highly recommend checking it out on their profile!
I LOVE all of the fun costumes everyone wore! The story was compelling and each character had a unique personality that I wanted to learn more about. WOW what an ending two twists in a row :o This is a very fun story :)
Thank you so much!!! We cooked up the characters and story for a long time, I’m thrilled to hear they delivered!
IMPORTANT
After judging is complete, we're planning on releasing a new build that addresses:
- An error when trying to make small talk with Callum
- Misplaced sprites, especially during the Interrodate scene
- Various other bug fixes and tweaks
We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may cause, and we hope you continue to have an enjoyable gameplay experience regardless. Thank you again!
IMPORTANT
This should now be resolved! Please enjoy the updated version of our game!
Thank you for your patience!
