Tiny Suspect by Prolich



Your job is to watch suspects through CCTV screens, watching suspects in real time. Armed with a list of clues and detailed suspect profiles (photo, age, height, etc.), your goal is to identify the criminal. Each clue narrows down the list. Use your deduction skills to match the clues with the profiles, eliminate innocent suspects, and find the person who fits the description before it's too late.

Anyway a really cool entry, there's so much potential!
But this is a good project for jam!
Nice job !
Improvement suggestions:
- make it possible to deduce without all the clues and something to make it relevant (a par score, or some cost related to clues)
- add something to the screen so that it makes you want/need to look at it. I found myself mostly going arround the suspect list
Very cool
Beaten on day 11!

I didn't really make use of the TV so that might have helped, I just went through in order of suspects and revealed all the clues then worked down each list.
Congratulations!
I really liked the original gameconcept, the whole deduction principle works beautifully, and the difficulty is superbly balanced. I particularly liked the fact that I couldn't see the clock and was stressed by the little music in my ears as the deadline approached! (it reminded me of Outer Wilds ahah :smile: ).
The graphics have an identifiable feel, and the sound design is minimalist, just right.
On the other hand, it's a bit far removed from the theme, but that's really the only flaw I found in this very successful game! Well done!!
I managed to finish and really enjoyed it :)
