I completely forgot that it was a Ludum Dare game most of the time and just enjoyed the game, which, unfortunately, is not true of all of the games I've tried. The correct option ended up being one of the last ones I tried, though.

Although the relationship to the theme is pretty loose, the game is really enjoyable, well structured and well written. Exploring the possibilities is very cool and reminiscent of the best investigation games!\r\rIt's really cool to see that you get to uncover dirty secrets through simple questions.
