Funny game. Very easy of course, but looks good, sounds good, tastes good.
The game was funny, although I couldn't quite make the reasoning for some of the puzzle solutions.
Here is my playthrough on this game, as you requested! (sorry for the sound quality!) http://youtu.be/qbbJssZ8WMY

haha... vintage dagger- I immediately said "where's the hipster?"'
That's exactly what I thought too!
This game really is excellent.
All the riddles made perfect sense for me - except the beach. What's the reasoning there?
The only thing I'm not too sure about is the music. I'd suggest you give http://abundant-music.com a try - in my opionion, it's vastly superior to autotracker.
You did a really good job there, and I'm rooting for you to be in a top 3 list! Justice always wins!
Awesome game. I played it a few times to make sure I understood every case. You did an amazing job! (Overall 5/5)
I didn't figure out the reasoning in the sumo wrestler one though, just randomly picked the right guy. The rest were all very satisfying to solve though.
I want more case.
And the title just makes it brilliant :D
Great work!
I played this in a pub in Tokyo with some friends, and one thing that was immediately obvious to me but not to some older people / long time expats was the guy behind the forest murder. While I had an easy time tying "going to Starbucks, impatient" to "vintage dagger" and then laughing about the Instagram reference, that sort of stereotype just wasn't on the radar at all for some people.
Very funny and polished!
I specially liked the second case, haha
Nice job!
The case of forest fiend is hilarious.
But somebody please tell me about those sumo wrestlers, I didn't get that one... :(
The graphics were amazing, the gameplay was enjoyable, and the dialogue was hilarious.
One qualm, the culprit of the first murder didn't align to any clues, but the rest did.
Anyway, I enjoyed this game, and the cases were good.
However, I kinda can't stand auto-tracker anymore.
Pixelart was ok, the puzzles were mostly fair.
The music was a bit boring in the end.
