Hello dear detective!

My name is Bob, I am a village chief in _Calombo village. We hope you slept well because I fear you might not be able so get a shut eye near the _Calombo village. We are ready as you requested, left everything behind and moved out from the village without touching a thing. Correct me if I am wrong but I understand that you will be traveling with your own friend _Dave, who will be your chauffer? You will get here about nine a'clock in the evening and you will not take any law enforcement officers with you? Sounds a bit bold but hey, what do I know, I am merely a pawn in this big.. big game.

Sincerely Bob

Theme

You're finding objects as clues so I guess there is a resemblance.

Okay what was the point? He just had to survive for a set amount of time

I don't really understand how this fits the theme.

While I was a detective, I wasn't actually supposed to detect anything.

Again there is no info about what i'm supposed to do in the game. Only here. And if I want to get help, then the game is restarted and progess is lost

Enjoyment

It feels nice. I got a good chuckle from being able to move around after being murdered, but on my second run I couldn't progress because one of the items catapulted me into space. F1 as pause menu was weird too, tried to get out with Esc at first but didn't work so had to alt+f4 to get out. I'd recommend not having movement options across a keyboard AND mouse at the same time and stick to either mouse move + click, or wasd for movement.

Movement feels bad, got killed, no idea what to do

There were funny things like the killer's design but generally a lot of bugs and just waiting around to "survive". In which case, what's the point of clues???

No idea how to progress, picking up things does nothing.

Didn't understand what I was supposed to do. Found out I won after the black man bugged out near me and the time ran out.

I didn't get what I'm supposed to do? What is lost and what I'm supposed to find.

Aesthetics

No audio and the story can be guessed, but the art was solid.

It wasn't ugly, it wasn't special. Most sprites were solid colors and had simple designs without detail.

World looked nice, could have had a better camera angle that didn't point at the world so hard.

No sound. Little in game instructions

Innovation

It piqued my interest and I haaven't seen something like this before.

Genuinely didn't understand the point. Didn't find anything new

Couldn't understand the game mechanics enough to say if it was innovative.

Bonus

The scope is too large. Please try to aim for fewer features to have room for polish and iteration.

there was funny chaos.

Cool latex monster-man.

I had a good laugh at the dude randomly attacking me, but this type of game has been see a lot before. Nonetheless a good job! Hope you had fun! :)
