The playable version is still the old build! In the new version (that's not yet online, since we are still adding things to it), that sentence has been rewritten, so that there is just one person to fill in.

That's great to hear, thank you very much!

And best of luck with college!

That part with the names in the notebook has been rewritten to be clearer; it'll be updated in the next build!

We also had some plans for a notebook, but there are a few design issues to consider before we can add one. But I agree it would be a good addition to the game!

Thank you for your kind words!

I'm currently working on Confidential Killings (https://branegames.itch.io/confidential-killings). We hope to release it by the end of the year, but there's a demo available now!

Thank you for your kind words!

I really like your idea of a "Continue" button after you correctly solve a case; it's something we definitely should add.

We also want to add a way to go back to previous cases, to refresh your memory, check names, and so on. We still need to check how difficult it'll be to code, but it's something we wanted from the start. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to implement it in the demo.

Thank you for playing and for your nice words!

Hi! Sorry, I can't add a Chinese translation (or any translation in general) to my old games for several reasons, including some technical ones (I'm not even sure the engine supports Chinese fonts, sadly :( ). I hope you'll manage to enjoy them nonetheless.

Nope, it's the same demo on both sites!

It's just a silly in-joke between Brane and me: he doesn't know my girlfriend's name, while I don't know his sister's name ;)

Hey, thank you very much for playing and commenting!

Yeah, this one had a serious story, for once ;)

I'm glad you liked the database searches!

Thank you very much for the donation and your kind words! I really appreciate it!

I'm happy you enjoyed the game, and especially the audio puzzle. This kind of puzzles can be contentious and some people seem to dislike them (I made it skippable for that very reason). I don't mind them, as long as they aren't unreasonably difficult.

Thank you!

Yes, if you activate the "hard of hearing" option, it'll tell you the combination.

There's an option to skip the audio puzzle.

Yeah, I've seen some amazing stuff done with Blender Grease Pencil,  so it's definitely a powerful tool!

Thank you for the comments here and on the game page, I'll reply to both here.

I'm really happy you enjoyed the game!

Regarding the keypad tone puzzle. I know that for some people these kinds of puzzles are hard (actually, I'm not great at them either!), so I'm glad I included an option to skip them :D

Sorry about the load button! I wanted to have multiple save slots, so clicking the load button would open another interface. Unfortunately for some reason, the save system stopped working and I didn't have enough time to understand why, so I just had a single save slot as a replacement. I also wanted to have autosaves, but that's another thing I had to cut for time reasons. Hopefully, I'll be able to put these things in in a post-jam update.

For the graphics, I used Clip Studio Paint. It's a really good program that has pretty much everything I need for drawing and animation, but it's a commercial product (although it gets regularly discounted).

I don't have a huge experience with Krita, but heard a lot of good things about it. Plus it's free and can do frame-to-frame animation as well.

Grease Pencil looks cool, but I don't know how suitable is for regular illustrations. I've seen some amazing things done with it, but it also inherits Blender's interface which isn't very easy to use.

By the way, I've yet to play Mervin Pissaro (I've been slacking playing jam games lately :D) but it looks really fun!

Thank you, Durinde!

I really enjoyed this game! The story and characters are really funny, with a hilarious ending.

You control three characters, which makes the puzzles fun to solve and adds variety. In general, I found the puzzles well-balanced and fun to solve.

Hopefully, we'll see more adventures of these three in the future!

The disguise mechanic is so clever! It's a really cool idea and perfect for the jam theme. Also, I loved all the "special" scenes with the close-ups (inside the car, at the bar, etc). Things like these always show the extra effort put into the game.

Thank you very much for the comment, I really appreciate it!

By the way, Shrouded Space looks fantastic, looking forward to playing it!

Thank you very much for your comment/review! You're too kind!

I'm also glad to read that the puzzles weren't too easy, I was afraid that the game had no challenge.

Thank you very much for your comment, JAGS!

The funny thing about that error is that originally I had written "I don't what" and forgot "know". My tester pointed it out... and I corrected it wrongly!!! :D I was a bit too tired at the end of the jam hehe!

I can't upload a new build of the game until voting is over, but that issue will be fixed in a later update for sure. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thank you very much for your kind words, Ramón! I'm so glad you liked the game. Doctor Volkwein thanks you as well for finding him a suitable name :D

Thanks again, Kini! You like investigations with text parser input? Who knew? ;)

Congrats again for D-List Diva, super fun game!

Thank you very much, happy you enjoyed the game!

Looking forward to playing Why the Wrong Face, it looks quirky and fun. Plus, unmistakably EGA.

Thank you very much, darqwerful! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game.

The composer will be happy to hear your comment about the music too.

Looking forward to playing your game, I'm ready for more Justin Case adventures! :)

A very enjoyable short game! Lovely artwork, a story that made me laugh, and some fun puzzles. The interpretation of the jam theme is just hilarious!

I had a lot of fun with this game!

The writing is really funny with some great banter between characters. Puzzles are fun to solve and logical: I never got stuck for long, but playing the game required some thought.

All in all, a very fun jam entry!

Great! Hope you enjoy it :) and thanks!

Great premise with funny writing, puzzles that are fun to solve, and lovely graphics and animation.

Congrats to Kini & Team for this really enjoyable short game!

Thank you very much for your comment, seguso!

I'm glad you enjoyed your game! It was different from my previous games, and because of that, I wasn't sure about its reception. So your comment/mini-review makes me really happy :)

Thank you very much, really happy you liked the game! Looking forward to the article :)

Hey, heltenjon, nice to see you around these parts ;)

Thank you very much for your comment, you're too kind!

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words and for the video!

Haha, the grumpy kid was fun to draw :D

Thanks for the comment(s) and for playing my games!

Thanks for playing Ramorama!

Being on a course to the sun could only be fun in an adventure game ;)

Thanks for playing! I'm happy you enjoyed the story :)

I'll watch your video tonight!

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!
