Got 197 turns on impossible.
After 150-ish, the game turned into math game of damage control, i.e., how to minimize reputation loss (sorry residents on the corners), sells gift at discount to stay employed, and wish the +16 salary would eventually outrun the expenses.

P.S. I don't think the necklace in the negotiation with Mr. Bagniewski is used as "a gift", or the builder to "fix the weirs".

My first game https://roveraz.itch.io/pestbacterie-1920 was updated three months ago (original publishing for beta version was four months ago), yet it has not been indexed. I suspect if my account was flagged due to being new and sudden upload within 24 hours after creation. May I know if there is some account-related issue? There was no warning messages.
I saw several similar problems on this topic with indexing as keyword. Most of the responses are helped by getting speedy review (and indeed being searchable) which I appreciate. I wish the game becomes searchable as well.

Observation--Attention to the Detail--Deduction

A puzzle game about gathering information from survey forms and reordering them to the correct set.

Mechanism

• No evidence collections! Unlike most detective games, all forms are provided in advance. It's more like jury trial listening everything at the courtroom.
• Creative method! There are multiple ways to solve which set, albeit solving easier-things-first will help the rest of the puzzle.
• Validate anytime! All guesses may be submitted on demand to check your analysis.

Features

• Tutorial levels: the first three set of documents will introduce you about the game mechanism.
• Built-in guides: got a roadblock midway? The hint system will guide gradually so you can set how much you want to know.
• Glossary: technical term definitions are provided so you don't have to browse them in real world
• Corkboard: this is the heart of the game, organising the evidences by connecting documents in a board

For deeper experience

• Memo: taking mental notes may not enough. In-board sticky notes and inherent memos will identify the forms better.
• Cross-references: some documents under assumption of strong correlation may be marked so they will remain accessible even they've been detached from the board.
• Custom name: is memo not enough? Just rename the document title and it will be indexed as so on the sorting system.

Play on browser or download (Windows) here.

Also available in Bahasa Indonesia and Basa Jawa.

P.S. If you have downloaded the former, i.e. beta, version (full release was on 2025-12-20), resetting the game data through settings is strongly advised to avoid crashes on runtime.

Swap all "Alpha" and "Beta" terms. I got it reversed!
