There wasn't that much depth and some filler and to be honest I found the tone to be a bit off.
With some work this could be a nice investigative format!
Cheater is ███████████
@koro-games Thank you so much! I don't know if I can read that, but I trust you found the cheater! :fingers_crossed:
(ps: this feel like me doing the YesPM and Hamphrey is making everybit of his words nonsence :laughing:
Thank you so much everyone! Most people seem to enjoy the writing and the visuals and I'm really glad about that.
Many of you suggested to speak to everyone before making a verdict / being able to ask all questions before making a verdict. It was actually a design decision on my end to force the player to make a decision while not having all the info. Also my goal for the game was to make it more like a fun, not serious, silly experience. Although, I understand that many people liked the deductive aspect, and would have loved to have more access to info. In the end both approaches have their pros and cons, but I take notes of the criticism, so thanks everyone!
@coatline Good job on finding a glitch haha!
After all that investigation, I wish the game would have confirmed whether or not we punished the right students?
Sequel: Meeting the parents
The mystery was well thought out, I just love to have an ending chapter where I can decide about the fate of all students and some confimation about being just.
As others have mentioned, I'd also like some concluding dialogues — although I was already sure about the truth by the second kid, I would be glad to have some more of this funny writing. But it might as well work out for players that haven't run into the actual confession to play it again to find out what was missing.
