I downloaded the source and ran it in Unity though. Really nice atmosphere and great interpretation of the theme. My main problem was since I didn't know who was going to be murdered, it was really difficult to find the person with the right motive."},{"author_name":"xevozfighter","author_uid":"10433","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 3:15am","epoch":1398654600,"text":"I like puzzle games especially when the puzzle ties in with some sort of story. Nice work.

The game's winnable by hit and try eventually, that really isn't good in a game like this.

The audio and the black and white graphics manage to create a very atmospheric experience. The idea of the murder that will happen in a short amount of time is interesting, but the enforced time restriction isn't so much fun. Would be nice to remove the timer, but keep the story. Maybe it would be possible to randomize the victim, the background stories and the murderer to get some replay value."},{"author_name":"attractivenerd","author_uid":"21956","time":"May 21, 2014 @ 8:47pm","epoch":1400704920,"text":"Thank you all for your comments, they were very motivating and helpful!
