Other than that, style is very reminisce of old newgrounds which is very nostalgic and welcomed!
9/10 detective game. Looking forward to the full release!
beautiful assets!!! easy to understand but each puzzle gets more involved and longer to figure out (in a good way)!!! it was sooooo useful to see the 'persons' bar go up when you got the names correct!!! and the '?' icon was a nice detail as it wasn't an "in your face" type of hints.
i loved playing this demo, and i can't wait to see the full game when it gets out! <3333
the only little thing that I'm not really enjoying is that there's barely enough time to read the finished page when you've solved the murder, could there be a 'continue' button or something? that way we could read the page before continuing to the next murder?
and likewise, there were times when I was wishing i could see the past 'completed pages' of the previous murders because i forgot a few names or details, could there be a 'history' folder that you could have beside the 'current' folder?
These are very small things that i think would be great, but it's not a big deal if it's not possible to implement them or something, the demo is amazing already; these were just my thoughts and i thought it would be useful to share my gameplay experience?
overall, 9/10, would recommend to anyone <3 :D
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.
Literally beautiful. I loved every second of this demo, and can't wait to see the complete version!
is the steam demo any different from this demo?
Nope, it's the same demo on both sites!
I love this demo, the concept is amazing. I found it difficult at times, but that is the beauty of it. I really hope the full game is released soon.
AMAZING!!!
Is this really all the gameplay? is there more?
I LOVED THIS GAME, really, it´s difficult for me to find games that you really need to investigate something, it´s very very nice!:DD
you are very clearly a big fan of the golden idol series
This was awesome ! I love the art style. You did a really good job with this. I have to admit i'm not the greatest detective ever but i very much had fun. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work ! :)
wow
This is a really great game, I wish listed it on steam, I cannot wait to play the full game. The artstyle and the gameplay is very unique and it's got me hooked!!
fun!!
Hi there! I would love to translate your game for free to Spanish LATAM. I am game translator, and I am trying to build my portfolio, I have translated a couple of games on this platform, you can see them on my profile. If you are interested let me know and I will be happy to help!
Really, great game !!! The ambiance is really there and the whole thing has its own personality, from gameplay to visuals :)) Im sure I will love the long version !!
Great visuals. There is a little lag when exiting a viewpoint. It might be nicer if we didn't have to click and hold the clues to drag when filling out our deduction. Maybe just left click to select and deselect, like some drop mechanism to fill in the blanks.
Amazing idea, i love how you could find clues and than connect the words together!!
yessss
really good game!! <3
I LOVE it! The art, the gameplay, the story, it's so much fun!
First I was like "nah, so you just want to check if I have read everything, or what?" but later it made sense with the twists and hunting for the word you already know but need to find elsewhere.
the cursor is blinking it is very disturbing and the game very good
I recommend trying the desktop builds if you'd like to play without this issue.
Or putting more fire on this PR of Godot:

Nice game
I love this game! i like the detective games and this is perfect :3
This is a great game! The old style detective game ambientation is superb, and the art sublime. The misteries were pretty entertaining and interesting to keep you going as you think what truly happened!
I had to take notes.... my memory aint great lol really enjoyed it
This game is kind of like the detective games the Case of the Golden Idol and its sequel, the Rise of the Golden Idol, from 2022 and 2024 respectively. It's not just bullshit. It has a coherent story. If you haven't heard of the Golden Idol games, then it's basically a game where you investigate mysterious deaths and fill in the blanks of the story. You can navigate from multiple different scenes and click on people and objects to gather important clues. I think it was a good game. I like that it's similar to the Golden Idol games. I also liked that you could see the exact amount of wrong slots when it's less than or equal to 2. It said either two incorrect or one incorrect. This isn't how it works in the Golden Idol games. Although, this might make the game too easy. I am not sure tho.
I also streamed this game on YouTube:
I’m so happy I found this game. Amazing! The mysteries are just so good and well done. The art is beautiful and really sets up the atmosphere well. I am really interested to see the full game.
It was amazing!! Perfect gameplay and so many clues to connect the dots. Amazing.
Hey, this is a great game except for the flickering of the cursor. It’s the same for your other games (We Suspect Foul Play afaik). Hope this gets fixed! (I’m on chrome)
heya! For the flickering issue I'm not really sure what's the problem, but having a screen recording of it could help.
Other than that we're not that focused on fixing the web build as it's going to be a PC game - so I suggest trying the Windows build
Really fun! Wishing you guys lots of luck!
Thank you!
This game is so awesome!! I've wishlisted it on steam.
Thank you!
