An Unusual Death by Jared Sartin
--------==== HOW TO PLAY ====--------
Once you have been briefed, click a perpetrator on the bottom of the screen (the male or female characters) and use the arrows to move and space to interact with doors, objects, and attack! Pick up weapons from different sources and swing them at your victim.
Your goal is to solve the murder by trying to reenact it. You will get alerted when you have failed or have solved the scenario. Good luck solving this mystery!
== Story ==
The case files have been re-opened! We are unsure how the murder happened, but with technology, we can do our best to simulate it. Using the images and briefing, choose a possible perp and see if we can solve the mystery.
Notes:
* There is no sound in game - sorry!

Art is amazing btw.
The gameplay is an entirely different case though. I have no idea how I'm supposed to get the wife downstairs and the husband to the end of the bathroom (if I remember the pictures correctly). Seems like people who enter it slip even before the wife has dropped the... soap? Some way to view the photos while playing would've been useful. Also needed a button for restarting. It also froze just when I struck the neighbour as the husband with the coathanger.
I'll check back later to see if you get it into playable shape.
