Hey all,
I recently released a short detective game called The Lie Atlas: Case Zero — The Twelve-Minute Bell.
I've tested this thing so many times now that I've pretty much lost perspective on what's actually obvious to a new player and what's only obvious because I already know how everything works.
If anyone has 15–25 minutes and feels like trying it, I'd really like to know how it feels going in completely fresh.
Mainly, I'd love to know if there was anywhere you got stuck or weren't sure what you were meant to do next, whether anything about the investigation felt confusing or awkward to use, and if you finished it, whether the final deduction felt fair based on what you'd found.
It runs straight in the browser, no download needed:

No need to write a full review. Even one thing that confused you, annoyed you, or worked better than you expected would be useful.
Only thing I'd ask is that if you do finish it, please don't post the culprit or exact solution in the thread so other people can go in blind.
Thanks!
