The typewriter sound became irritating after a while, maybe because it was the only audio in the game. Otherwise this was really fun!

Cool game idea.
Nearly got away with the murder. :wink:
Liked those "strange references" in those characters and that text "click" sound.

AMONG US IN REAL LIFE (sus) (sus)

As a space cowboy, I like to shoot lasers at the circus. Sometimes I accidentally zap bystanders (about once a week). Many suspected me but unfortunately Claire, who loves hanging in the depths of @#$@#%@#^@, found out. 10/10 Would play again: you get to see Dexter get busted by Chtulhu

PS: super fun! I really thought of any improvement, the only thing I could come up with is a "skip" button to skip the lines once they get repetitive (for multiple plays). Congratz!!!

This game takes the concept of "just text" and turns it into something unique and engaging. The tense atmosphere is top-notch, and at the same time, some of the combinations you can get yourself into are downright hilarious. For how simple it is, this is one of my favorite entries so far! :knife:

First thought that came to my mind was "hey, it's like this board game called Clue!". Not gonna lie, that was interesting use of theme, also nice atmosphere created with simple graphics and audio. I enjoyed it and it really seems like 100% finished little game.

Liked the oblique twist on the theme, and that you had to be pretty good at lying. Ha ha. Good sound fx, but the typewrite was LOUD. Unfortunately, I didnt get away with it. :(

Really nice game. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and funny storylines. Managed to kill everyone first try

It always blows my mind how people can spark so much tension with so little on screen.
I enjoyed your game very much. A shame there isn't that many narrative games made during jams.

The typewriter is too loud, but it's a nice game

This. As a fan of detective games and conspiring to pull off nefarious plans, I loved this game. It was brilliant playing as a reverse-detective, noting all the information you can get and using them to your advantage. Killing those who know your lies the first. The typewriter sounds and the animations for the text was excellent in setting the tense mood. The 'joke' categories, however, sort of killed the mood for me. I would have liked a bit more realistic settings, as well as maybe a bit of information on where all this is happening to fit in with the narrative. I can see this as a full game with more options, and maybe an 'action phase' where you actually do the killing and take care of/plant evidence. Lovely game and awesome job!

Incredible atmosphere for a text-based game! The effects on the text and the audio play a great role in this, very well done. I love the interpretation of the theme.

This was a ton of fun, like playing a bit of among us without needing friends or annoying voice chat.
The mechanics are a bit simple and I found it really easy to beat so increasing the difficulty and choices could be fun. Getting a bit graphical could bring it to a new level, but I would respect it if this is the kind of idea you wanted to keep text based.
Creating your own narrative and having to remember the lies was fun, sometimes I was presented with totally different options though and that made it hard to lie and I was immediately called on it. That felt both like BS and then later when I kept being presented with the same choices to lie it made it feel too easy.
I think the best version of this lies somewhere in between, but making it so you can split the group off and only have some people around would be cool too, then you have to remember what you have told certain people and you can get away with your lies only if no one on the current group hasn't heard a different response.
Tons of different ways you could take this in a really cool direction!

Really enjoyable Clue-style game! I managed to figure out the best way to play on the third round of the game; I had made the mistake of killing someone who highly suspected me and only got someone kicked out because we didn't have better evidence. Thankfully on the third round I made sure to frame Terry by using silver spoons and then telling Perry. 😈 The whole game anytime someone asked me about myself I *always* said Butler, so no one ever thought I was lying, especially when I said I liked candlesticks.

I honestly have no idea how I managed to use trained elephants in the dining hall, and how I managed to kill someone on the moon.

Excellent game, my favourite one so far! The tension built so well over the course of the game. I thought I had slipped up in the last round, but I somehow got away with it!

got away with it first try! everyone kept asking if i liked laser guns and what my favourite tool was, it was really easy, almost lost on the last round, but i had planned it well enough to frame the most suspiscous person of me.

Muahahahahahaha that's right I did it. I killed them aaalllllllllllllll!!! But seriously awesome game, fresh take on the prompt. 10 out of 10 would commit mass murder again.

This game rocks! I love the idea of a hidden identity murder game that is 100% text based. Keeping my answers consistent while trying to frame others is a blast. I loved the simple typographic art style and the colored text works really well. One of my fave entries for sure!
