Excellent, never mind the few bugs, February 13, 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. A classic murder mystery.

Had to rely on external hints at times, however. (Spoiler - click to show)I entered the house without checking out the cars, and there was no way to get back out of the house without quitting the game (knowing that it'll be randomised is a huge barrier to exiting the house).

Saving the game helped a lot, especially when it was time to deduce the culprit and present the evidence. (Spoiler - click to show)It was mentioned that the chief would appear at 2:00 am, but in my gameplay, I was done before 2 am but had to make a couple of hundreds of "wait" turns until 4:00 am which was when the chief appeared. This seems to be a glitch.

The game took me several hours to complete, but I would definitely recommend this if you're an armchair detective. Really wish there were more of such traditional whodunits!

Thanks for the reminder to play this (it's been on my list a while) and welcome to IFDB! It's always good to see new reviewers.

From your username I'm guessing you enjoy mystery-style works. I know there are a lot out there I haven't played so I'm looking forward to whatever else you may find.
