The 10-Second Murder by Rose
In the middle of a dinner party, the power goes out for just 10 seconds - but that's long enough for a murderer to strike! Can you figure out who was responsible before you become their next victim? Use an innovative questioning system to reveal the secrets of four quirky characters and find the killer's motive.

Improvements that I hope to add later:
- Loading screen.
- Music and sound effects.
- More art (e.g. backgrounds, character expressions.)
- A way to tell which topics you've already asked about.
- Currently the buttons are a bit buggy, so I'll be sure to fix that.
* FYI, there are 14 topic to unlock (so the last space will appear empty even after you've found everything.)
* Some people have commented that they don't know how to figure out the murderer. I admit, it's a bit subtle. If you're still stuck after trying it yourself, here's a walkthrough: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eFSIkX7-nXIiWgcUrWNSL66vat4yGXFh7EbaREwOunY

The level of detail in endings was pretty crazy too.
Is it wrong that I accused everyone of the murder?
Btw, some of the light grey buttons were unpressable.
The graphics are quite good now. Hope to see the whole game when you finish!
The writing was great and quite detailed, and kept the game entertaining to the end.
In the end it told me I caught the culprits but did I really?
It was still pretty enjoyable! :)
It's really cool to see that you get to uncover dirty secrets through simple questions. Very nice, I tip my hat to you! The graphics are good too, but it could have used some sound.
By the way, I found the right answer on my first try! ^^
kind of reminded me of the 'Case Closed' anime/manga
Ludum Dare surely needs more games like this one
well done :)
I had trouble clicking on the buttons, most often with Wayne. I either had to back out and talk to him again, or hunt around the corners of the buttons to get them to work.
Anyway, the story was fun to unravel and I liked the questioning system. Would have liked more opportunities to combine subjects, but I'm sure that would have taken far too much time for the jam!
I found it difficult to remember their names. It'd be really helpful if you show their names alongside their portraits.
But overall, I enjoyed playing the game. The characters were really well drawn!
Great job!!
Clicking on buttons was buggy at times (maybe because my pc is terrible).
nice work
The characters are detailed (nice illustrations btw!) and the whole thing was just a lot of fun!
Bonus points for having 2 girls as well as 2 boys.
