Bought this back in the Bundle for Racial Justice, and I had a lovely bit of fun playing through one of the 16 endings.
I try to do my best at voice acting for any unvoiced Visual Novels I play, so getting to goof around as Jam was a great time. I was especially impressed by the "Ye Olde English" bits of reading in the story, and the fact that I didn't trip over the words much. LOL
Will definitely go back to see what other endings I can get.
Played it last year and just now decided to leave a comment. Absolutely loved it, had a blast playing it with some friends. The humor was right up my alley, very fun!
Finally gave this little game a whirl and I found it highly amusing. Not only is the humor great, but this is a very technically impressive game for how small it is. Excellent use of Ren'Py for a very enjoyable half hour of my life.
This game is amazing. The humor is right up my alley and I had such a great time playing it (even though I had a real hard time pronouncing a lot of words while recording a video xD). Just have to go back and get all the endings now :D oh and here's a link to the video.
Really enjoyed the game, and how you used Ren'py to make a point and click... so much that i may have kinda actually ended up using it as a codebase to create my own game (i was sort of playing around with it and before i knew it i basically had a full game, it's free on my own page).
Are you okay with the code being used? I'm basically using a modified version of your sc_map, evidence/items layout and investistart stuff. I've credited you in the About section, but let me know if you want me to add/take away anything.
My twitter is @sazazezer if you want to take this private.
I got 10 endings, clearly I'm missing one piece of evidence. Any walkthroughs available?
Looks like there's some hidden puzzle I can't find. Something with the fire extinguisher? Something with the burning cake? Something with the flaming pentagram? Seems I've tried everything...
i dont remember if i commented before but i am just as utterly enamored with this game as when i first played it <3 <3 i love jam and alexandre so much
Short adventure game with different endings and a few secrets to figure out along the way. Its interesting how the game abstracts the usual point and click adventure structure and whodunnit expectations. Well done, funny and it had me hooked to figure out what actually happened here. Only the music was a bit grating, but you can turn that off thankfully. 3,5/5
I liked the art and the ui. Collecting things was nice and using stuff was alright.
The writing was ok and was humorous. I felt that there was a little bit too much of the main character saying their own name and saying how they are between the ages of 4 and 17 in a lot of the dialogue in the game. Is Jam full of herself?
Not sure why I couldn’t light the string that was holding the key because Jam was afraid that the house could burn down, but it was ok that I put the painting in the back on fire and the stove??? Doesn’t make sense but I guess it doesn’t have to because it’s supposed to be funny.
I know that there are many endings. I liked the one with the gnome. I still have yet to try a lot of the other combinations but from what I’ve tried, they are alright. Everything is alright.
Very nice game. Really humorous. The art was simple but adequate for storytelling and quite understandable. I liked the plot twist in the fire extinguisher (and what Jam becomes after the fire; won't write because spoilers - I guess that's the secret ending?). It was really well crafted that every object combination has it's own "ending plot" and they were often pretty hilalrious as well (the "regenerating mandible" was a favourite, though the "I am the murderer" had me "wut" for a moment).
I had to change font to ease some eye strain, but it was easy enough. The criticism is more that you can't click on the descriptions too such as "go to the map", it could be made a "clickable link". Another criticism: There is no sequel when there totally should be ;) - Also [SPOILER], I figure Jam could get sort of adopted by the guy and his wife because of the no guardian thing. Poor girl :V
I played this through the Racial Equality Bundle and was one of the first I played. It was a flipping blast! I loved it! And now I want an entire series about Jam.
This is the funniest game I've played and an absolute new favourite! The writing is incredible and the characters are charming. There are so many different endings which was fantastic to discover. Additionally the mild horror works really well with the comedy. The game is knowledgeable about the genres its playing with and works with them creatively. I am really looking forward to see what the creator will make in the future!

It was a fun 30 to 40 minutes. Thank you.
Fun mini-time sink (:

I love this game so much, it's so fun and I love the entire vibe of it. It made me sob laughing. Great job!! I'd love to see more games in this style.

Did you try the clown painting in the bedroom?
how do I install / play this on Ubuntu ?
You have to launch the JatMotMSM.sh script under Linux
Very cute and fun! And horrifying! lol
I would love to see another game with Jam and Alexandre! 4/5
I enjoyed the game so much, that I included it in a new Hidden Gems Youtube Series:
