Lovely game! Also love the ending. Hope for continuation!
really enjoyed this little game! as a fan of any and all mystery media, the ace attorney-like feeling was comfortingly familiar, and i also liked how the characters were very aware of the similarities of their situation to murder on the orient express. while the main mystery was pretty simple, i didn't see that last twist coming and it makes me hope there'll be a sequel someday!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Super fun little game! The art style is simple and charming, and the mystery is pretty fun to solve. As an avid mystery game lover, would love to see more games like this! Great work!
Thank you so much!
