It's funny, but it's really hard to figure out what needs to be done

Interesting idea. But wasn't really fun to play. Maybe not my genre. Nicely done otherwise!

Interesting twits on the theme. I like when the game does not give everything to you and you have to figure it out, so that was good. I was expecting in the history not what he said, but what I used and some kind of % of how close I was to satisfy him. That way it would be (from my POV) more playable.

Was that a finish vault guy from Fallout by the way? :D

For years I have been a big fan of the subgenre of LD Jam Games Regarding the Legal System and I heartily approve of this entry.

Banger of a game, really enjoyed playing it and the story was very enjoyable. Learned a lot for my future sauna sessions.

When I was the title, I was excited and thought that the game will be easy because I am from Finland, but far from it! I was confused what is this "leil" (after googling it is "löyly"?) they are talking about. It was also very confusing to put all the stuff in the löylykiulu. I quess everyone in Finland has made the mistake of putting beer in the kiuas, but the smell is terrible. XD Took me 4 tries to finish the game.

I really loved the voice acting! The initial loading was very laggy and then the letter of summoning appeared I did not know what to do and I was stuck there for few minutes thinking that next scene is loading.

Overall I liked it, 5/5 humor.

@martta As a Finnish person your feedback is invaluable to our team. We're still patching up some things and actually adding more dialogue to the second part of the game! (No release date yet). We will post a comment once it's done if anyone's interested :smile:. Our team is Estonian and leil is our word for löyly. We "misused" it intentionally for comedic effect but I can definitely see how it was lost in translation. :nerd: :laughing:

Heh, I wasn't expecting it to turn into an Ace Attorney parody. Even knowing almost nothing about Finland that was pretty funny
