About:
You Detective Alex Rivers you tredge through this world filled with crime and darkness to find the truth.
And on a more casual note this is an unholy mix between a detectivistic game, walking simulator and a visual novel filled with cringe humor and bad writing.
WARNING: May contain witty and not so witty humor, and references to popular media. (and crime)
This game was made for the GMTK GameJam 2024.

How to play:
1. Gather evidence click on anything out of place and see what you can find.
2. Question Witnesses about what they saw and Ask them about items. Important dialog will be written down on the character's profile. Listen carefully to the dialogues, they might have some information about locations of hidden items.
3. Fill out the resolve, pick from suspects and Add any Item or Dialog that explains the suspect's involment through their descriptions or location. You need to point out at least 3 pieces of correct evidence.
When you're struggling to resolve the case remember that putting in just one type of evidence will often not be enough. Try to ask some people about the crime or items you found and fill out the form with a combination of items and testimonies.

Cool stuff! A lot to discover.
for some reason i found a glitch when i asked someone and i leave him, the qestions still visible
in 4 days that's a very good game you are talented man
Couldn't do it without the efforts of this talented team
how are you doing this in 4 days span 👀
It revolves around not sleepin' and also dying of mental exhaustion
lol
Couldn't finish the whole game, but there is a crazy amount of content, don't know how this relates to size yet, but I guess that comes later. 10/10 especially in this timeframe!
Yeah there are some fun story beats at the end with 4 endings we kind of went crazy tying it in. But I do agree it is way to long for a jam with our playtest coming to a little more then 1,5 hours
What!? That's crazy omg, top 100 right here, only 4 people too, good work
We're as surprised as you that we finished it(mostly), in time. During the last hour (before the announcement of extended time to submit) we were scrambling to get all the dialogues in place.
This is class AF
Guys, this will be top 100!
quick question did you finish the demo
Very nice! Cool atmosphere. It might be hard to find thing to inspect, especially when they are the same color as background (makeshift bed I'm looking at you).
And I'm stuck at first mission with no idea what I'm missing, unfortunately.
Thank's we are working on fixng some of the harder things to spot and are revisiting required information to point out a suspect. We also added a how to play couse I feel like
there wasn't anough said yet
Sounds cool! I definitely would revisit the game as jam's clock ends! Wanna find out who is that guy...
Feel free to check our submission, too. If you'll have the time of course. Feedback is always welcome!
