Case closed! I really liked the art style, and the music was good, although I think it stopped playing after a while.

Got 'em! It would be nice if the music looped, but it was little novel.

Well done!

I liked the visual style and story :) I think it wasn't really apparent to me that the flashbacks were from the previous 10 seconds though.

It's so ambitious to make a visual novel for a game jam but you guys have done it! That was a solid game, there were just a few small things that could make the game feel more polished imo:
- the music stopped after a while, looping it would be nice.
- some small things about the textbox, the choice indicator was white on white which was hard to see, and there was one time the text was too long for the textbox so it got cut off.
- some hints about the time change (10 seconds) in the visual would be nice.

The writing was really relatable though, good job guys!

What a fun mystery! Seconding the comments about wanting the music to loop, but it didn't detract from my concentration as I tried to pinpoint the culprit. I really liked the conclusion my choices led me to, and I hope you-know-who has a much more relaxing end of their school year :]

Music slaps. Scrumptious wurlitzer vibes.

Wish there was an indication at the end of the game if you accused the right person. Neat art!
