Murder at the Aero Club

A simple yet adequate murder mystery plot with sufficient suspects and clues. Was stuck towards the end when I couldn't get the suspect to talk, so had to rely on peeking at a walkthrough, but otherwise most things made sense. Would be great to have an in-game hint system, and anticipate other commands to minimise the "There is no reply" response. Would also be nice if there were more plot development, but otherwise I am glad to have found this.

This game was an IFComp game. It has you as a detective investigating murder at an airplane field.

You collect clues by searching scenery and by talking to people. It has a lot of elements of a good detective story, but it's really easy to get stuck and throw off the timing. There's also some goofy oddball elements that don't really fit in.

A short and very bland whodunit, where you don't really care about who did it. It feels like a series of in-jokes between the author and her acquaintances. The setting, a small private airport, is original, and it kept me playing.
