I couldn't get the "lie" or "truth" buttons to work, am I doing something wrong?

I couldn't get it to load, my internet is quite slow and it just stod without moving the bar. Maybe you could build and publish an exe and add to itch? Since it was mode using unity is should be quite easy :) Looked really cool on the images!

I liked it, but I didn't really feel like I was progressing. Maybe a counter of how many questions you've successfully answered would help?

I also liked how part of the game was just to turn the lamp of in front of the officers face and just calmly drink coffee while he asks questions lol!

You created a very good mood here for the presented Situation! The graphics are nice and the audio is really good (especially the squeak sound of the ball!)
The gameplay mechanic is really interesting and the idea is a lot of fun. But for me it felt like I had to fail some arttempts at first just to read all the possible answers so that I can actually play the game. So if you are playing first time and have to flip through the answers first and loose because of it, it feels a bit unfair. Also some questions seems to be a bit random, like being asked about somebody in a picture without a picture.

So after all this is a really great and unique game that just needs a little bit more polishing.
Hope the feedback helps. Cheers.

As usual i had no idea what i was doing but i had fun doing it XD. Squeaky toy is best. If there was a better indication that something was actually lowering your stress levels it might be nice. I was often spamming things not knowing if it was working

Really fun mood! The squeaky toy was funny. I loved the way the interrogator got more pissed off as I squeezed it.

Interesting game. There seems to be a lot of diffrent paths you can take. The key is to know the personality of the guard, what will anger (he doesn't get angry at what you'd usually expect, which is surprising). I like that you had to pay attention to your surroundings to keep the stress levels down. For sure it sell the vibe of an interrogation. Fun game to play! Will try again to find the path with no fails.

Very difficult! But immersive and fun to look at. A full experience. It was chilling. Would be a fun nightmare in VR... Great jam game

Gave me some soviet vibes, loved annoying the interrogator with the squeky ball. I didn't manage to get to the end, but loved the humour of some of the possible answers.

It's very much a trial and error type game but it was fun nonetheless. I wasn't really sure when my stress levels were getting lower but I seemed to be able to manage it. I mostly lost because I wasn't giving satisfying answers.
The mood and atmosphere was great and I'm glad you had some audio to back it up ! Well done.

Great game jam! the mood is great, the graphics are awesome. Mechanics are good, love the stress ball and getting the investigator mad XD

A very great and simple game. Atmosphere and mood is definitely there and could be expended upon if you plan to continue working on it. The friendly interrogator looks menacing and moves convincingly.

My main criticism is the book of lies. The individual lies are great, but take a long time to read on your first try. Furthermore navigating the book of lies is difficult and it is very easy to lose track. A simple tab list on the side or more choices per page would help immensely.

Furthermore I love the items on the table you can interact with, wish there were more objects to keep track of as the game progresses.

This game is not an easy one! I liked how your answers actually must make sense! That was very fun!

[Thanks for submitting your game to the stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1015845981?t=02h14m28s)

This game was as hilarious as it was stressful. :sweat_smile: I loved the abject goofiness of it! I do think it requires the player to be a little TOO perfect, but as an overall experience, this was a super fun one to play multiple times. :slight_smile:

The idead is awesome.
I really loved the idead of the game and its a bummer that the "Tell the Truth" button was cut due to missing time.
The Graphic and Sounddesign is really really good and I liked the Text aswell.

In my opinion, it would be great to give the player more information of what to do.
I tried the whole time to go as fast as possibl through the interogation, but that was the total wron intention. Also I didn't realised that the Stress is going down when I just relax in the Game, I thought the Stresslevel will increase the whole time.

Thankfull the developer where in my Stream as I played it and Thanks for that I was able to finish the game.

So overall a really great game well done.
