Been playing through some of your early puzzles-- I really liked this one! For some reason it just clicked with me-- lot's of aha moments for such a short game
Hey I saw your game in the playtesting channel on thinkypuzzlegames discord. Here's my thoughts--
Cool game! Had a definite Rusty Lake vibe. And I can see the Chants of Senaar as well. The part where I had to draw the characters was a little frustrating for me since I hadn't been paying attention to the characters, just the pictures, but really not too bad. I wasn't sure with the faces which order to go in-- from happy to sad or sad to happy. Also the way the numbers lock in when they are correct makes it a lot easier, but this could be good or bad as it does help prevent you from getting stuck. Minor bug (I think)-- when I moused over the churches while the journal was open it still made the sound It definitely made me curious about the story-- who are all these people with the same birthday?
Cool game! I especially liked the innovative investigation mechanics which made me feel like I was a detective.
I was unclear from the story whether I was Sam Carter or his rookie partner? Maybe I just didn't pay enough attention. Also I was expecting more red herrings and not to have it be such a cut and dry case. Still, it was a good level of challenge to figure out which clues to combine and what investigative techniques to use on which clues.
The time factor I found somewhat annoying to constantly pause the clock and make sure it wasn't running. It did make me feel pressure to solve things quickly which adds realism.
Overall I think this is a really good start! The writing, the art, the overall story definitely provide a strong noir atmosphere, and it provided a good level of challenge to keep me engaged.
This was really fun! Especially the red section and the later part of the yellow section. Not sure if it was just me getting used to the game but purple seemed less challenging--more sokoban and less say hi if that makes sense. Anyway, thanks for the game!
Hi, I like the game! I seem to have encountered a bug? I don't have the quantum scanner in my inventory at beginning of game. Watching others on youtube, they seem to have it.
