Murder on Stage by greytram

[raw]
made by greytram for LD31 (JAM)
The time is 1900 and you're playing Edgar, a young and promising drama author rehearsing his latest play in a parisian theatre.

But the rehearsal will not go as planned...

A one-screen, carefully crafted aventure game made with Unity.

Important note: currently you cannot solve the plot, as we didn't manage to put in all the scripts in time... Enjoy your exploration anyway :-)

Nice idea. Very different than most games I tried so far. I liked it.

I think this is my first adventure game experience in LD. Hopefully you finish this so it can be solved!

A way to walk faster would be nice and sometimes the text goes to fast for me to read it. Too bad it can't be solved yet.

Love the koncept and the 5x10 pixel characters. Would prefer to walk with keyboard though.

Nice, i like the idea, too bad you didn't have the time to finish it, i imagine it is quite complex to create all the dialogue :)

I feel like less time making the character path-find and more time on the scripts could have had this finished. Nice idea though!

Oh nice! I made my game in a theater too!

You've got a good dialogue system going for this, good work!

Neat concept, nice job. A shame about the unsolvable plot though.

It may not be finished, but excellent work, guys! The game could have definitely benefited from some music and an input for running, but the mood and setting were splendid.

I think you could have maybe made the environment a little bit smaller and saved the player quite a bit of running time. I wish I could have played more! Reminded me a little bit of the Phantom of the Opera novel--murders on stage are always fascinating. Thank you for the game.

Man, would be neat to actually solve the mystery. Has this interesting Twin Peaks-ish feel to it. Well done, next time you create a plot driven adventure please finish it! :P
