It was a bit annoying to write the names ^^" but fun :D

I don't understand what exactly is required of me, there's some kind of name game here, right? Interesting art with music, the call buttons are a little shallow

I really love the way you implemented the summoning theme in a different way than many other entries have. I like that you have to type the right names in order to summon a person and otherwise you just summon a squeaking rat. I also like that you introduced other races like the demon with the horrible name to type. The music in the game is nice and the sound effects look good. I had a lot of fun diving into the romance of the first couple only to find out theres no tax evasion. Great entry, keep it up!

I really enjoyed this one. :D Can you add a limitless time mode so I can really connect with the witnesses? :D :D

A lot of reading to do but other than that the art style and the idea were nice :D

That was really fun ! Was kinda hard to understand at first (I missed the summon circle in the back, and didn't see the "guilty / innocent" buttons...) but once I got it, I really liked it !
The timer is a bit frustrating, I think I may have enjoyed it more if I wasn't stressed and could just read all of the cases.

I really, really like this game! Cool idea and quite a decent implementation - my keyboard often lacks the tracking for so many simultaneous presses, but it was still great fun to play. The text and dialogues are very funny. Great job!

What a cool concept! The presentation is pretty neat, the music fits.. I'm not entirely sure why there is a time limit, maybe to add some challenge? I also wish the summoning had more easter-eggs (e.g. summon people where they should not be) and maybe some way to replay? That said, are there any plans to make an extended version?

Nice little game, art is nice and music is colid. i Got pretty good at connecting the lines towards the end. The only complaint is that the guilty fire animation felt a bit long. but other than that, good job on the entry!
