Marnie Mayhem's trapped in the 1920s until she can identify her murderer!

Play it Here!

In the future, there are many assassins, all of which have questionable and frankly silly names. Marnie Mayhem has recently been made a target for bringing up the elephant in the room, during a cocktail party she mentioned how silly it is that her group specifically asks for alliterative names. The management didn't like this, so they hired another assassin group to take her out.

Marnie hopped into a time portal to the 1920s to hide in a dirty city. Only one assassin knows to look for Marnie, if she can take them out before they do, she'll be home free.

How to play the game:

Your objective is to find out who your killer is and take 'em out before they can do so. They conveniently pass by your building, so they'll be just outside the window at some point.

Controls are left and right (A and D if you prefer) to move, and the spacebar is used to interact with things.

• The Room: You move left and right and press the spacebar to interact with something when it has the "!" icon above it.
• The newspaper: Use up and down to find the part of the newspaper with the red line, when you do press the spacebar and get information on a potential killer.
• The board: information on your potential killers is here, use left and right to scroll through who you've seen (as well as those you haven't).
• The phone: Occasionally, the phone will ring with very good tips, so make sure you note them down when you answer it.
• The radio: Like the newspaper, but you scroll through stations to find the one station with information on one of your killers.
• The window: This is where you will take a guess at who your killer is. They will be standing outside at their designated time. Fire at the right one and you're safe to return to your time! Fire at the wrong one and... well you just outed yourself and your killer will find you no problem. Choose carefully!
• The bed: This is to kill time, be sure to wake up occasionally for phone calls.

Standard LD Addendums and Disclaimers:

As is the rules for Ludum Dare, my game's source is available as the zipped GameMaker project format on the itch page. There is very little in the way of comments and I would not suggest you borrow most of the practices you see.

I will also take a moment to note that no so-called "generative AI" or any AI tools for that matter, were used in the making of this game. Everything was handmade with my imagination at the helm and various tools I've acquired over the years.
