Aww, didn't see the ending coming, but it hit, nice one! I thought the simple character designs and environments were rather endearing. Definitely felt a sense of foreboding and melancholy throughout, and the music helped with that. The dialogue was funny, it very quickly gave you sense of the personalities of the family members. Even though they were eccentric (and ghosts, haha), you get the impression that the kid was loved and taken care of, so when they all disappeared it did feel like a loss. Then the fourth wall break from the detective was a good segue into questioning the reality before the reversal at the end. The font was a little hard to read at times, and also it might have been good to have a visual indicator of where to go up the stairs, but other than that the gameplay was smooth, quick, and to the point. Good work!
