Hello I'm Karl Ward, this is my first Ludum Dare. I would have spent more time on it but I only had 20 hours. Anyway this is WHO DONE IT in which you play a role of a detective trying to find the murderer of the mayor. Read how they sound and not what they say. Keep an eye on the feelings of the character. This is randomly generated so different murders each time and different stats each time.
I feel like it's difficult to gauge the reaction of folk from text alone, especially when they share some lines. Otherwise, graphics are nice, perhaps with a bit of animation you'd really have something special here!
This is neat! Definitely fun to try to figure out who the murderer was (got it on the first try) I would love to play a more fleshed out version of this. And gotta love that stutter-er-er-ing tech!
Really innovative concept! I've tried to puzzle over how a murder mystery might be procedurally generated but never had any great ideas. Good onya for doing something unique!
I found the responses from the suspects odd. A lot of them shared lines, and sometimes I'd ask a question and their answers would make no sense. Sometimes they screamed "LIAR!" for no apparent reason. One guy said he was visiting a friend and when I asked about his alibi he said he was alone at the time. I think if you cleaned up the responses a bit (there are a few typos too), the game would be improved.

I was programming all day ;)
Game is great and finding a murderer is kinda rewarding :D
