The hide-and-seek mechanic is implemented well, the learning curve is good, and once you've finished, you'll try again to find the people you've missed in the previous run. There were some minor graphical issues (hovering people, near plane clipping), but it didn't make the game any less fun!

Had to play again to try and get all of the messages right (Couldn't find the one on a smoking break). Very satisfying to play, lots of small details hidden around that gave me that great sense of discovery -spotting the street signs, noticing that windows can open and then doors too. All felt very natural but also suddenly felt like I had so many more places to look. Thought it looked great too, sprites especially are awesome, sounded good, writing was fun. Would genuinely love to see a full release of something like this! Amazing job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":950510,"author_name":"Crompo","author_uid":"crompo","epoch":1683056219,"text":"Nice unique idea! Love the character designs. It's definitely at its best when you can interact with the world, opening doors and windows and so on - feels like you're uncovering secrets. And I think there could be lots of cool ways you could expand on the idea - you could pick stuff up and have an inventory, get info from different people, go between different locations, etc.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":950529,"author_name":"brick2face","author_uid":"brick2face","epoch":1683056324,"text":"Probably the most charming, pretty, and fun LD game I've played so far!

Boy, was I wrong. That one frustrated me for a bit as I was expecting an agent surrounded by oodles of women. I even considered the milkman! Clearly, I focused on the wrong element.\n\nThis was pretty cool! The only thing I'd change is the controls... I greatly disliked that every right click would just... zoom me out. I wanted to explore the map zoomed in when I'm honing in on finer details, but unless you're int he right spot, you'll keep zooming in and out as each right click zooms you out. Sometimes it clicks an area on the opposite side or something and the whole map would spin to the opposite side of where I was looking at. I also had a few times where while I was trying to click to open a window, it would click on the agent behind it and it would count against me Dx\n\nAh well, I still had fun despite that. ^^","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":968076,"author_name":"LDJam user 245646","author_uid":"245646","epoch":1683304017,"text":"This is so freaking cool, loved snooping and panning, around seeing all the details of the city. The game is rekindling my love for those Where's Waldo books lmao. Really liked that you could also open doors and windows, that was such a surprising twist! The music goes great with the spy theme too. Just wished that panning didn't zoom you out tho. Overall, one of the more unique entries this jam!
