I finished both cases and here are my thoughts on the game:
First time playing was really confusing because game doesn't explicitly show what to do. Only after like 4 attempts and reading description for the 2nd time i realized i had to press space to actually get any answers.
Completing it for the first time felt fun, since you follow along the case and figure everything out step by step.
Completing if for the second time though i felt dissapointed, since the case is essentially the same and you already know who the perpetrator is.
Only after completing the game i realized there is a danger zone mechanic, and after using it i can't seem to figure out what it does? It feels like a safe zone but worse.
Overall, cool concept, but it would be cool if you could actually fail and accuse the innocent if you are not perceptive enough, but i understand that this is hard to do in time restrains of a game jam.

Thanks for playing and understanding most of the game; I highly appreciate it. The danger zone was made to give you extra evidence on the suspect or the situation. For those who are confused by the questions, they can switch to the danger zone and get some information below the cards that will help them choose the right questions to ask... Making this kind of game with very few mechanics. Literally makes it a clicking simulator; I couldn't actually keep it any less. I wish I had a little more time to design the tutorial section... But I am glad someone played and understood the full thing...
