Wow, this was really good.  Definitely my favourite of the jam so far, as far as puzzles/deduction are concerned.  Figuring everything out was very involved, with a lot of cross-checking and interpretation required - I definitely ended up needing to make notes on paper - but it was definitely fair, and I beat it without the walkthrough.  There were lots of really satisfying "Aha! moments" throughout, although there was at least once where I sorta guessed & had my guess confirmed by the UI, which is maybe not ideal.

All of the deduction was very grounded in the setting, rather than seeming forced or out-of-place, which I think is important. It had a very cohesive feel/atmosphere, and everything came together satisfactorily in the end.  The art and audio are solid as well.

Overall, an amazing game!

PS: The web version didn't work for me in Firefox on Linux; the screen went black after I left the wardroom at the start of the game.  But I was able to run the Windows version successfully in Wine.

Thank you so much for the kind words! You've made my day :)

I'm really glad you figured it out by yourself and didn't need the walkthrough. I'm working on an update that should hopefully get rid of any guesswork.

I've no idea why the game crashed in the web version, I'll try to figure it out. Thanks for letting me know!

To clarify, it didn't *crash*, exactly.  The screen went black, but I could hear the text advancing when I clicked, so presumably the game was still going and only the graphics were broken.

Oh, okay! Thanks, I'll look into it.
