How does your game fit the theme?
This is an escape game from the perspective of the murderer, not a detective (a la Cube Escape). Hence, the roles have been reversed.

Simple and fun

I like the twist on typical detective games playing as the murderer, it was very enjoyable and played it through. Great Job!

Very fun! It plays just like other escape games, but I enjoyed the perspective change nonetheless. You should probbably put the controlls on the itch page, because I didn't know what to do at first. Overall this game is really enjoyable and I did manage to let Jim escape in the end, hooray!

Fun idea and concept. Liked the thrill of having to destroy the evidence.

I think I broke something. Really fun game imo :)

Ah, the first time I played the detectives arrived just as I was unlocking the exit route. Caught me red handed!

It was a really good idea to provide hints - after all, in these escape games it isn't always clear what you are supposed to do, and getting stuck can be frustrating. It helps reduce aimless wandering around, especially when time is limited.

This is really cool! Though I couldn't escape myself. Guess I can't pull off being a killer. Got stuck with one more piece of evidence to destroy.

Yeah, possibly my fault for describing the last step as 'destroying evidence', which it isn't really (hint: it involves graffiti-ing the graffiti)

I really enjoyed this (but I am a sucker for for point and click adventures). Quirky puzzles and a charming tone. Some indication of controls/how to navigate the room would have made the experience a bit smoother.

A decent game, but I didn't know how to do anything at first, like if I had to use WASD or my mouse. This is a good game with good sprites and music. Keep it up! :)

Thanks! This was my first jam, and my first 'proper' game in Godot after the tutorial game, so that means a lot :)
