The old-school murder mystery hook, top-down isometric art direction, and nostalgia-heavy point-and-click investigative gameplay make this entry feel like a classic retro detective adventure! The custom cover art, immersive soundtrack, and atmospheric environmental storytelling set up a fantastic tone for a jam project.

A few puzzle logic, UI, and localization tweaks for post-jam polish:

- Interactive Color Syncing: Fix the bookshelf asset bug where selecting a specific color book renders a different color on-screen (e.g., clicking red but drawing green).

- Puzzle Logic & Brute-Forcing: Adjust puzzle hints so solutions (like the green box or birthday code) don't rely on trial-and-error, and keep your Google Docs hint link easily accessible in the itch description.

- Proofreading & Narrative Flow: Run the dialogue script through a text editor or native proofreader to catch minor grammar slips and typos so the writing matches the stellar visual quality.

Awesome retro mystery vibe! If you get a free minute, I'd really appreciate your feedback and rating on my solo jam entry as well: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523
