I love the gameplay, the illustrations, the atmosphere...but I don't understand the evidence. (I had to play through it three times to get the right answer. I get what the murder weapon was, and I get the envelope she's holding in the first image, but how does the evidence show who the murderer is?)

Thank you for playing!
I can’t show all the pieces of the detective puzzle in the demo. We want the investigation process to be more interactive, and possibly add extra clarifications or hints as a reward for completing the hardest mode.
In my opinion, the main issue right now is that the demo doesn’t have enough time to establish the overall tone of the mystery. Is it something simple, where the most suspicious person is the killer (like Dora the Explorer)? Or is it closer to an Agatha Christie-style story, or some kind of postmodern detective and the killer is the fortune teller?
Have you missed something in the pictures? I hope more players will engage with the detective side of the game and share the key evidence and alibis they’ve found.

I mean...I must have? For one thing, the cat and the badger are standing together on the balcony before the body is discovered, so if the badger is guilty, he must have...committed the crime much earlier? But we saw her leaving with the rabbit (and she had the rabbit's scarf, which I guess was meant to frame her), so when did it happen? What is there in the last photo that indicates who the killer is?
