Unfortunately can't click on anything in the menu. So can't start the game.

Hello people, thanks for bringing to our notice that the web builds dont actually capture user input, for the time being, please consider playing our game from its windows EXE or linux x86_64 files, attached both here and in the itch link: https://chaakravue.itch.io/deduction

thank you for your continued support! @vicebrother @orjan @thorpalsson @talal-hammad @zj798164639 thank you so much for checking our game out and i hope you can give it another chance later when we add more polish.

i'm either dumb or something broke, cause i opened exe file and could do a thing... the graphics look good though. I have a little project rn that's inspired by the same style:)

would be great if you could fix the web version of the game :(

The web version doesn't work. Sadly, I just can't get this to run on my Mac. Hopefully I'll come back later and might actually get to play.

Looks like someone took a photo of me while I was playing…
I spent about 5 minutes just trying to start the game.

The game works for me in WebGL, but i didn't understand anything. I feel a lot like the img send by Krawa XD

The graphics look great, I couldn't make it work either in WebGL or download. The first screen looks fine but I can't interact with anything. A shame since it seems to have amazing potential.

loved the graphics and the feel, but was not smart enough to solve the first riddle haha

Game Looks nice but without tutorial it's kinda hard to solve puzzles

Got objects 5 and 9 from the console logs, placed them in the container and pressed the terminal, but nothing happened. :(

Liked the ambiance.
Not really understanding the game. Some bugs, like in menu the mouse moves a lot, on LD, exiting fullscreen in game blocks the view for always, and some objects disappear, but others do not.
I'm pretty sure that not what you wanted.
It's your first game in ld, that happen, good luck for the next.

I played it, tried some combinations, searched for any clue about the "alien speaks", even managed - I don't know how - to get the first button light green and get to second one yellowed, but finally gave up without understanding anything… Sorry, too cryptic, even for me :sweat_smile:
