For such a short game, each character felt unique! Fun story and art, and nice UI. The character names are too corny for my taste, but that's just me. Totally recommend this little gem!

Nice work, and thank you!

Heyyyy, nice game! The sfx of clicking was a little loud. The atmosphere is amazing and the art is really cool. Nice to know that is a single person game. Congratulations!

Thanks for playing my game, and thank you so much for the feedback! I'll try to update with a softer clicking sound :) 
Haha thanks for the congrats, I feel proud that I finished it!
Have a wonderful day :D

Let me know if you update, so i increase the rating in sound

Dang, I can't believe  I found the culprit first-try! I'm not good at detective work, but all it took was a couple of conflicting details from two particular suspects for me to figure it out (haha)

Anyways, not a bad game!
