I haven't released this publicly yet because I want to first get a bit of private feedback. I hope the game isn't too dark to see. Download: now on gamejolt: gamejolt.com/games/strategy-sim/the-sound-of-murder/21938/It's about a homicidal man who does not approve of those who smoke. i hope you enjoy... i guess... -orange

It's pretty dang cool. I would suggest having more distraction mechanics though. At the moment the puzzles seem to just consist of timing and waiting.

thanks for playing fawful! you're probably right... the trouble is i wanted to keep the controls really really simple and also im a bit bored with working on this game so i finally wrapped it up today what did you think of the ending?

That's cool. I think it's pretty good how it's really simple. Maybe more visual details? I thought the music could have been more interesting... so cliché. Can I ask why you made this choice? And is the ending where you get shot?

yes the game does lack a few details... thanks for the suggestion! when I started on this game I had been working on some other projects and it was hard to get music for them, so I decided to find a single music track and then base a game on it... when I heard "lurid delusions" by Matthew Pablo I thought of the idea of a guy who stabbed people or something. And then somehow i got the idea he might kill smokers only, too... so there's "method in his madness". however, if you think the music is cliche and detracts from the game I can try to find a different one that is more suitable. you are not the first to say the music didn't fit in well
And yes, that's the ending.
thanks for playing, jake! I hope you enjoyed it now im going to add a few more details, i know currently it's mostly just flat road stuff with nothing on it... which isn't typical of city terrain

If the music contrasted slightly with the theme it could add more depth to it. The music here makes it feel 1 sided.

I like it, cool idea, nice choice of colors. difficulty was good. As mentioned above; i think the music doesn't fit perfectly, it sounds a bit too dramatic
good animations btw
