Okay, I finally finished the game (and I’d like to point out that our atrocious performance on the Twitch video was entirely due to using a trackball mouse; now that I’ve played with a normal mouse, I aced every challenge with flying colors, even if not always on the first try!). And indeed, I ended up accusing the one character whose minigame was too difficult to actually complete (I was already certain of everyone else’s innocence).
To my great surprise, that didn’t work, so I had a last-second flash of genius, and my final intuition was confirmed by Mr. Peugeot.
The plot twist was unexpected and hilarious, as were all the subsequent demonstrations and pieces of evidence laid out to prove his guilt. Honestly, everything held up beautifully right to the end, and every detail was polished to perfection. We also had fun replaying Tarrant’s minigame several times to see if we could get any farther, but in the end we gave up.
Really, chapeau, there should be more games like this! c🏆🥇🎉
