When the theme was announced, I immediately thought a game about red strings on an evidence board would be a pretty unique interpretation, and the scope of a short, UI-driven detective game seemed perfect for the deadline. You can imagine my surprise when, ten days later, I saw a dozen similar entries, all while my own UI was bursting at the seams!
Either way, thank you for this INVALUABLE feedback. We are going to push forward with development and release a full version featuring a restructured narrative matrix, a much tighter connection validator, and other improvements that simply couldn't fit into a ten-day jam window. Our core vision has always been to reward analysis, rational thinking, and pure deduction rather than brute-forcing the solutions. Thanks to feedback like yours, we will definitely get there.
