Premise:

Recent investigations by the authorities have confirmed that a large number of “Impostors” have infiltrated the city, replacing some of its original residents. They appear indistinguishable from ordinary people, but subtle inconsistencies in their behavior may reveal their true nature. Residents are advised to observe those around them carefully, remain alert to unusual signs, and report any suspicious individuals immediately.

How to play:

Keep your eyes on the residents and study their behavior closely. Most of them are normal, but some may be Impostors trying to blend in. Use your mouse to click on suspicious individuals and report them before they vanish back into the city.

I'm not really sure what I'm doing at any point in this game. I got to day 10 and never felt like I saw any strange behaviour. The residents seem to either change randomly, or go to different rooms each day, and Im still not sure who is who compared to the notes UI. Ive guessed wrong each time. I'm also not sure how to restart after failing.

Cute game! I liked the art and the vibes. The tutorial went a little fast for me to read

We’ve hidden two small easter eggs in the game—feel free to try and find them!

This melody... brrr
The atmosphere is oppressive (in a good way)
pretty good
But I'm not good in such games :(

Oh my god, the art style is so cute! It would be even more perfect if the tutorial was improved a bit.

美术风格很棒诶,窥屏玩法让我想到了Don't feed the monkey,很有意思的一个游戏,如果游戏结束有重玩和退出的UI设置就更好啦。
The art style is really great! The screen-peeking gameplay reminds me of "Don't Feed the Monkey". It would be even better if there were options for replaying or exiting in the UI at the end of the game.

The game's graphics are great. It was a bit tricky at first since I didn't understand how to play, but it's really fun!

超级有趣的找异常玩法,关注每一个居民让人眼花缭乱,全部记住他们的特质和行为也需要多观察几次。美术风格超级好,大大的审美超级在线,保持了风格的统一,看着很舒服。音效和bgm也同样完善出色。唯一的遗憾是没有设置和重新开始的交互,而且如果能有个暂停菜单观察一下居民或者便签不会挡住人物可能会玩着舒服一些?(看得我猪脑过载了QAQ)

A really engaging “spot-the-anomaly” gameplay loop—keeping track of every resident gets overwhelming in the best way. Memorizing their traits and behaviors definitely takes a few rounds of careful observation.

The art direction is outstanding—the artist clearly has a strong sense of aesthetics, and the visual style stays consistently cohesive and easy on the eyes. Sound effects and BGM are equally polished and thoughtfully done.

The only downside is the lack of a settings or restart option. A pause menu to review residents—or at least a note system that doesn’t block characters—would make the experience much more comfortable. (My brain was absolutely overloaded by the end QAQ)

我注意到电视机里闪烁的雪花点滤镜非常有趣,配合上音乐、风声、警笛声,很好的塑造了紧张的环境氛围,寻找异常者这件事更是充满了诡异的气息,这也是很考验玩家注意力和记忆力的游戏,可惜我的记忆里不太好,不然可能更快的通关。喜欢你们的游戏和艺术风格!

The visuals in this game look really nice—I love this kind of cute but slightly weird style. The background music also creates a great atmosphere. It’s honestly hard to believe this was made in just 72 hours. The animation looks like it was done frame by frame, which is a huge amount of work, and I really admire that.

很棒的美术风格,很像饥荒。玩法有点类似于偷窥哈哈,好玩好玩,不过我老是选错,下一秒over了。音乐也很诡谲,很适配~

@yancheng 老师画面下方有个pause阔以暂停游戏,虽然一开始的想法不是让玩家暂停观察的,但是playtest的时候发现不少人会暂停哈哈哈哈,谢谢建议!!!

Loved the artstyle and the music really matches well with this type of game. Gameplay takes a bit to figure out though, but really I'm blown away by how gorgeous the art is that I don't mind spending a few more minutes figuring it out. Well done

游戏的玩法“寻找伪人”的主题还蛮有意思的,就是太考验玩家的记忆力和观察力了,或者给一下更明显的玩法指引具体要注意什么方面这样,感觉角色不合理的地方适当做得明显一些会更好!🥰🥰

Very unique art style. The tutorial section plays too fast. It would be better if players could control when to turn the page themselves. It looks like the “Impostors” in each round are fixed? This might allow players to beat the game by using brute force. Overall, it’s quite interesting.

I got a bit confused when the second button just disappeared after I pressed it, but it was fun to watch and really look closely at your characters! (So many of them are constantly smoking…I totally get them…)

Great-looking game. The mechanics were a little confusing at first, but I figured them out after a few tries. I had a great time playing it. Great job!

Very interesting art style, and a good atmosphere, although I made a lot of mistakes when choosing, as well as a very quick tutorial, I would like to leaf through it myself, but the game is beautiful, I really liked it

cool idea and art style! the tutorial was continuing a bit too fast for me, I wasn't able to finish reading the text before it already went to the next slide, maybe let us manually press to continue

As soon as you enter, the suspense factor is at its peak. Moreover, there is a time indicator in the upper right corner. The color scheme of the picture and the characters will change accordingly based on the time, which is really very meticulous!

i liked the atmosphere you've created with the music! lots of suspense here :) the tutorial was a bit fast for me, i couldn't read some of the passages. the characters reminded me of Tim Burton's! i think it would be awesome if the information on the characters apeeared on the side so you could study them more conveniently. i wonder how many impostors are there? i locked one but the game continued. it would be also interesting to know what the "strange behavior" was after the round ends!

美术很有饥荒的感觉喜欢!!通过观察动画细节来匹配角色职业很有趣,观察了10分钟把所有角色成功配对上了,但是最后也不确定我的配对正不正确(如果有配对检测就更好了)玩到后面成功举报大学生为伪人。

The drawing in the game may be good, but the game itself is painful. I completed the game in 5 minutes.
