lol this entry is really fun, I can tell you had just as much fun comming up with the dialogs and all the voice acting. really love the consept of the game and the fact that it has 3 cases instead of 1. tho the only case I got right was the first one :smiley: I knew the cat was innocent..

Very good voice acting and sounds in general!

I solved all the cases but I can't say I understand why my guess was right for all of them haha.

I feel like it would make more sense if the answers to questions were at max 10 seconds long so you could move on to the next suspect without having to cut off the previous one.

Unique fun entry. I really like the art and how polished it the experience felt. Impressed with the amount of voice acting which was done very well. Great concept.

One of my fav entries this year, a ton of fun with a lot of charm and great production. My only real complaint is the 10 second switch not matching with the dialogs from the suspects. I don't think the game sets you up very well to succeed because you either wait to hear our the previous suspect or switch to the new one. This means on the first run it's hard to make a logical deduction and just end up guessing.

Fantastic concept and the production values are spot-on. A couple of polish tweaks:

-Often lines would continue playing even though I had moved on to another suspect.

-The aforementioned lack of a "played" indicator on the dialogue prompts led to some minor friction.
