"The Cold Loop" is a randomly generated murder mystery game set in an ever repeating timeloop. To break it, you must find out who was, is, and will be responsible for the killing of a certain penguin: yourself.
At the start of the "loop" (game), the murderer is chosen at random, along with clues towards finding him/her. To break the cycle of death, you must find the murder weapon and put the murderer to rest. *But be sure to pick the right guy...*
You'll get to see and hear a bunch of mysterious original characters, and have chats with each of them. (Professional voice acting heading straight your way)
About the process
- As per usual, we got in a massive hurry heading to the end of the jam. We always tell each other, that "this LD we will make an easy simple polished game". ~~But we definetely made it simple this time (not).~~ Anyways, it was super fun and the last day was a crunch and a half, but somehow we managed to pull things off and make a game that we can be proud of! Due to lack of time, the game may appear unclear and kinda ridicilous. We can try our best to explain things to you, so if you want, just ask us how some things work.
