Emotional Sleuth

Currently, in a prototype phase, all art assets are to be replaced! The current art doesn't fit the tone or narrative currently.

The Game

Emotional Sleuth was made for the GMTK Jam 2022 (more info here).

Sometimes it takes time and deduction to figure out what happened, but it can also be a matter of luck. You can raise your chances of success, but there is never a guarantee  that a situation will go well. But when it does, the emotional connection and understanding of another person can be well worth it.

Emotional Sleuth is the working title of this prototype that takes inspiration from point-and-click adventure games like Freddy Fish as well as TTRPGs such as Blades in the Dark. There is no current long-term goal with the project, but there has been talks about expanding the scope to include more scenes, including original art, music, and story.
