It was very fun to try to piece the mystery together! I really enjoyed the tone: the fact that the case in question wasn't too grim helped making it very pleasant, and the game fun! The art was very cute, the mustache on the cup was a funny detail! And I ADORED THE MUSIC TRACK OH MY GOD, IT IS SO GOOD??? GOTTA LISTEN TO MORE WORK OF GERSHWIN?????
Thank you! And yeah George Gershwin is AMAZING, totally check him out!
The UI, art, and music all set the tone very nicely, and it was very fun to think about what the correct answers could be. Great job!
Thank you! I'm glad the mystery aspect worked!
Very nice game. Compact and have impact. Nice jazz too! Definitely a game that you can enjoy while sipping a tea like Poirot there.
Thank you! That's a cute way to describe the length, too :)
