That’s a fun one! I understand the rules, but I think I have some mistakes in my answers because I can’t find the solution just yet. Or I don’t understand how to work the last puzzle.
No. There are two artifacts related to your grand-parents: the newspaper article about the house fire and the love letter. They were there for lore purposes.
If I expand on the game I have ideas concerning the overarching storyline
Amazing game, with lovely environments! I always had a hard time with old text-based puzzle games like Hugo but this one was good because it was more constrained.
Thank you, I really appreciate it! The workable space was a bit small but I wanted the player to have the feeling of “too many articles to look at”. I had an idea to have boxes you had to open to take out articles and that you could used to organize yourself, but I ran out of time since I only decided to participate in the jam in the last week.
Really, really cool concept for a deductive game. I like what you did with the settings for the errors and the genuine mistakes suspects can make. I’m sure being interrogated is stressful and that it often happens.
The idea is neat and the story is interesting and engaging. There are some riddles that I honestly could not figure out and got by accident - notably the very last one. Even knowing the answer - and I was looking in the right spot - I can’t figure out how I could reach that conclusion.
Nonetheless, it was a good experience and the game as a lot of potential! Keep up the good work.
Nice one! As others have said, the vibe is great. The story and the way it developed was gripping and focused enough that I wanted to continue and discover the end. Also thank you for letting me continue after I killed myself!
Posted my positive review on the game page. Here are some feedbacks:
I would have liked to have a bit more of space around the answer space. In the third level it was too easy to block yourself and having to re-arrange blocks around to reach a certain spot.
I feel it would be better if your cursor would stick to the block you are currently dragging. Right now if you hit another block, the one you are dragging stops but your cursor continues and it goes on another block, you start dragging that one.
That was a neat intrigue! I have played Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective before as I own one of them. It was a nice homage and in the same vein for sure, although in a cyberpunk setting.
I finished the game with 70 points - got all the answers but visited 15 links.
While clicking on things, there is a lot of flashing of sprites. Also when clicking on the silhouette, most of the times it would also click on the first person and the game would end.
It is not clear if I’m supposed to find the murderer, or the victim.
Sometimes a bag of powder would appear instead of the eviction notice. It did not seem to serve any purpose. The eviction notice seemed to be important to win the game, so having it missing was an issue.
I liked the game. It was quick to play, impressive considering it was made in Google Slides. There is a "bug" where sometimes when you click the back button it clicks on the detective on the right at the same time. Not sure if it's possible to add some sort of "wait" before registering new clicks in Google Slides.
