I loved the concept of the game! The characters, outfits, and game design were all on point! Now I'll keep playing it until I beat it I guess... ;-;
Thank you!!
Great game! really nice story pulled in such short time!
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️
Nice game guys it was really fun and mysterious, me and my mom were struggling to find out who it was. A little spoiler ( what happened with Snowball!!) Why were there cat scratches and fur
Thank you so much!! The fact that you played this with your mom is so heartwarming ahhh
The cat scratches and fur appeared at the murder scene because Snowball is actually Lana's cat and it went feral on Marlon for a bit before the... incident.
I forgot to write that into the epilogue! To be able to make the game within the time limit we had to forego a lot of plot details haha;; maybe in a future version we'll implement them properly...!
