The music and sound effects fit nicely and make for a good atmosphere. The concept is fun and innovative. It's hard to find valid questions though. One improvement that could be made is adding more variations to existing replies and making it so the game recognizes more combinations. That way you feel like you're getting somewhere even if you don't manage to win.\r\rBasically make it a bit more straight forward so you don't need to explain as much first, and you got a great game!"},{"author_name":"DustyStylus","author_uid":"15902","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 12:35pm","epoch":1387197000,"text":"Thanks guys, as the time ran out (I originally wanted 3 suspects) I had to trim more an more of the dialog out and the hints became less and less useful. \r\rI've added a Walkthrough to the links. :)"},{"author_name":"alexis.pautrot","author_uid":"17726","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 12:56pm","epoch":1387198260,"text":"Scrolling of the words is confusing.
