Love this game, the interpretation is really really unique, i can see this as a extended steam game with more levels with different crimes you have to solve and stuff like that, there are some bugs but other than that the game is really great. 25/10!

Nice game! Fits the theme very damn well! Also looks nice. Yes, the AI is pretty limeted, but it’s impressive still for the time you had.

Hi ! Great job for a jam ! Nice graphics, easy to understand gameplay, and it's really cool to see a story - especially an investigation ! And it fits well the theme :)

Thanks for sharing how the AI was made, it's simple but efficient for a jam !

For me there are a few issues :
- the answers are a bit too robotic (straightforward descriptions with no emotions), but may be this is because you had a lot of sentences to write ahead so that's a lot of work,
- the AI often say to "ask for more info", which makes it a bit artificial : they should say nothing or give the info right away; even if it might help the player to know what to do I think it's not necessary,
- the case is really simple to solve, no big twist, but it's funny to have the anonymous guy appearing (well... we guess who it actually is, and that's funny too),
- the AI are often not understanding what's said, which is understandable given the algorithm, but may be you could have added more responses to common investigation elements.

Thank you for this game, I had a nice time playing it !

thanks for detailed feedback!

  • i guess answers are too robotic just because i am not a good writer especially in english lol
  • i had one playtester and without “ask for more info” phrases she didn’t really understand what needs to be done next in most situations so i added them. i thought it would be too hard for player to guess what to do next and i think that it’s better for a jam game to be too easy rather than too hard.
  • i didn’t even think over the situation in advance and was coming up with the “script” while i was already writing dialogue options so it is really simple and once i gain i think it’s better than if it was too hard
  • i agree i definitely should’ve spent more time on ai

i’m glad you liked it!
