I DID IT! PLAYED ALL DAY LONG AND I WON!!
I wouldn't be mad if I bought this game, I loved the puzzle mechanic to it, I drew diagrams on papers, took a lot of notes, made my opinions on who could be trusted and who couldn't step by step, that was AMAZING.
For me this is one of the strong strong contestant of the jam, and based of your ratings, probably the most underrated. The art style is gorgeous, chara design is really coherent and fun, with a lot of personality to it.
Now on my notes, I would've made the rode minigame easier, or faster at least. And for most of the fish I loved how clues bounced on each others, but some felt a bit based on random try (like the clownfish for exemple) Couldve been cool if you could beat the game without ever relying on random guessing. (I don't think I got the clue to use especially the trap for the clownfish, I got clues to go to the shallow reef though)
Also I would've love if you could see a pattern in lying habits, like "this one lies on fish he didnt caught to cover themself" "this one misdirect on fish they got only, but you can caught them speculating on fish they didht caught yet", "this one is a bad liar so if they caught a fish and say "I think" "I should" "maybe", then I shouldn't listen to them, but otherwise I can", etc etc
at the end of the day, I didnt spot any full proof pattern I could rely on, everytime I though I found one, the next fish proved me wrong on my guessing, not a big deal but I didnt felt as reward for my thinking and investigating that I could've.
Anyway I'm nit-picking here! I had a blast! I love games where devs choose to trust the player and let them play and figure things out, it feels so good!
