One of the few games that got me engaged enough to (try to) finish it xD. Highly atmospheric. Music could be a bit of a darker and more melancholy tone, but that's about it I guess. Rest is pretty spot on for a game like this. Good job!
If you don't give us the answer in the game, then the player is always right because even if his explanation doesn't match yours, his choice is not less valid. Finishing the game after making some tough decisions and heavy pondering, feeling the risk of failing just to find out that there was no risk at all to begin with, makes me feel a bit disappointed.
I would prefer to know who actually was the murderer, now it feels pointless who I arrested.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path
i fixed it by:
1) Downloading the newest lwjgl release http://sourceforge.net/projects/java-game-lib/files/Official%20Releases/LWJGL%202.9.1/ (Is that the version you used?)
2) Extract *lwjgl* and *openal* from lwjgl-x.y.z.zip/native/linux/ (For Macs: native/macosx/*)
3) Put them into your jar file
4) Run it
Could you maybe add the other os' lwjgl natives to your jar, so they could run it, too? lwjgl seems to run on all platforms, so why do you only provide the windows version?
Well, then I could listen to some music and got en empty window and i can already tell you that the window is too big for my screen. However, it still crashed with
IllegalStateException: Function is not supported ... at main.src.Main.getShader(Main.java:206) ...
I guess i cant run it anyway cause my netbook doesnt support shaders. :(
Your game is the first detectives game i see this LD! :)
