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!
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.
Here's my playthrough: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1007430228?t=3h30m15s
The mood and atmosphere was great and I'm glad you had some audio to back it up ! Well done.
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 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:
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.
