It had its good points and bad points, but was overall a fun, if not exactly thought-provoking, romp through a detective department full of entertainingly silly characters. I got the rather distinct impression that it's intended to be playable for a younger audience than the usual point and click detective game; is that accurate?

For more detailed feedback, I think the strongest points would be the art and the concept. I love all of the (how many?!) position and expression changes for the sprites, and was so amazed that even the characters who appeared for the briefest amount of time on-screen had multiple expressions and poses, like the suspects. The concept of the lighthearted adventures of a hemophobic, easily distracted drop-out girl detective who somehow manages to get the cases solved while avoiding being discovered as legally completely unfit for the job by her coworkers has so much potential for hilarity.

The weakest point of the game would probably be the writing and to a lesser extent some of the instruction. The humour and characterization in the writing was great, but it definitely needed some proofreading. There were a lot of basic grammar/punctuation errors--not to the extent that it was really distracting, but it certainly made the game seem a lot less professional. My second complaint is mainly because being misled that you had to solve the case without forensics was a little mean to the players.

One last thing: is this game going to be free or commercial? It doesn't seem to be stated anywhere and that's definitely important info.

Overall, I'm definitely looking forward to this game releasing! It is a really fun diversion.
Thank you for the feedback! The grammar was actually fixed but my artist owns the account for Itch.io, and I have to wait for her to return to town to fix it, unfortunately. We had errors with our dropbox account where the account wouldn't send her the correct files, and now we can't share our game through there. The game will be commercial for $9.99. The game will not be for kids a little later on the game deals with some heavier topics such as domestic abuse and so we suggest 13+ ages.
