Very clever. The tombstone messages were different enough from the dialogue I genuinely missed the right match on one of the people lol. I would have liked a red herring tombstone that fit most of the matches. Pretty cool overall!

Love the concept, find it too short and maybe a little bit too "easy" multiple combinations would be welcome. The art though is great and the dialogues also ! Good job !

Simple but efficient, originally not my type of game but still had fun.

The art is great and the dialogues are nice :)

Cute designs! I love being a supernatural match maker. I think the puzzles were a little easy but the writing and characters were very fun!

I love the mood of this game. The graphics are also impressive, and I don’t mind the Halloween spirit at this time of the year, either. Overall, very creative and fun game.

Silly dialogue and a quick logic game, I really liked the looping animations for some that made the character look flowy

That was a fun game that i would love to play even longer!
The artstyle was nice and the chosen music was fitting for the overall theme.
Sadly the game was a little bit short.
I still enjoyed the witty dialogue though!

Great dialogue, and intuitive to play.

Having extra tombstones with red herrings (as suggested by someone else) would have been a welcome addition. Good job!
