This is an entry into the Shacknews Gamejam 2023, with the theme "Blood".

It's a murder mystery with a bit of styling from Thief: The Dark Project

If you're playing here on the web, the built in emulator uses Z/X for the A/B buttons, Enter for Start, and shift for select. The DPad is either WASD or the arrow keys.

Press "UP" to interact with items.

Press "SELECT" to bring up your notes. Each suspect has notes that will be updated as you collect clues.

Also, you have a wall jump and exploration is a good idea.

Music is by Beatscribe.
I used the Condensed font pack by edo999 (edo999.itch.io) as a base.

And this is a Gameboy Color game - please download the ROM if you'd would rather play it on hardware or a dedicated emulator.

Update: Updated to correct the notes functionality not working.

Awesome game!  I played it through and chose the merchant who was clearly stealing, but now i'm leaning towards the doctor.  oh well, I enjoyed the writing quite a bit.  great stuff!
