A super fun supernatural-murder-mystery game! It really had me questioning whether it was the cause of humans or something more sinister and supernatural, so I was seriously doubting everyone, and when the truth came out I was honestly surprised! The pixel art is absolutely gorgeous (reporter Seal design is my favourite oh my GOD SO CUTE), and the characters are charming, especially audio guy! The music also added so much to the mood its so so goood!

I've had this game on my radar ever since I saw the development screenies you shared on the server; and I loved every moments of this!
The BGM/SFX really added to the whole atmosphere, and I looove the pixel aesthetics <3 The UI is so clean and the backgrounds are gorgeous. I'm actually torn which ending I like the best, I think they're all charming on their own... Oh, also I had no idea about CRT filter before this and I think it's neat that you gave an option to turn it on/off; I decided to keep it on since I think it's cool :D
The characters are all v memorable, even the no-sprite callers. Though, I think Audio Guy is my fav character she's so silly hehe. Thanks for sharing!

Damn, this was SUPER good. I'm obsessed with the resolution you made your game at... the tiny little window accounting for all of the pixel art assets really adds to the 90s feeling of the game (special shoutout to the little typed window the Audio Guy has for her messages - it's a neat touch.)
And watching the case unfold was really interesting too: I got ending A - but I'd love to go back and see the more supernatural takes on the series of murders in the game. The way you built tension in the beginning and the end was fantastic: the repeated violin motif genuinely gave me chills.
The writing was great as well: character dynamics felt natural, and I love the little occult references throughout each chapter. It kept me hooked throughout the entire story.
Thanks for making this title - and I look forward to whatever you all make next!
whoa thank you so much for your comment! I now realize that I've played some of your games in the past and I remember they were top-quality so I'm very happy to have your blessing!
I can't resist a good mystery with casualties racking up and stakes ramping up, and this VN certainly satiates my appetite for that! I enjoy the creepy moments and the impending sense of doom, which the in-game clocks serve to highlight.
The characters are adorable and full of personality. I enjoy the way the choices allow the player to explore and examine, then reflect and speculate based on all the information collected.
The pixelated art style of the sprites and the backgrounds, retro aesthetic and interface, CRT filter, and soundtrack and sound design all contribute to a moody, atmospheric, and nostalgic experience overall.
Thank you to the team for creating such an amazing game! I definitely want to replay it a few more times to unlock more endings.

Aaaaa thank you so much for your comment! lol you don't know how much I struggled with the clock, time zones and 12hours clocks are hard, but I'm glad it worked!
So far we only got one ending, but this has been an awesome and spooky experience! The art is really cool and stylistic, and the story really pulls you in! Excited to play more.
I was really looking forward to this game because I like the concept of radio shows and time zone murders got me hook. I love the vibe you created and the music really adds a lot. I love the pixelated look you guys created and this type of games are my kind of things. The calls were such a fun concept it added a lot of character to the radio show.
I absolutely adored this game! From visuals and vibes alone, the aesthetic of this game was wonderful. The little CRT filter was an excellent touch (though props for allowing it to be disabled!) and the style you guys elected to go with was so wonderful! Was incredibly entertained by this.
And of course that's to say nothing about the writing! Despite being "only" 15k, I felt like the writing was incredibly full and long - in a good way! It's amazing how in depth you were able to get with the world of your game with that many words. The pacing was impeccable and I was never once bored, and I just! I love this game!! I need to sit back and ingest it but I definitely want to play it again to try and untangle all the little threads here. You guys made something really wonderful! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you so much! I'm glad about the writing in particular, since I'm mainly a musician and english isn't even my native language I'm happy that somehow I got my story across! I will deliver your comment to the rest of the team as well!

Thank you so much for playing, I hope you'll enjoy the other endings as well!
This game is fantastic! There so many routs and interesting story bit's that change the entire experience!
The characters are fun and engaging making you want to know what happens after.
The sound design and music motifs are just top notch. They really add so much personality to the whole experience!
Once again Wandering you kicked it out of the ballpark!
thanku!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME! Spooky, mysterious, fun, charming characters - easily my favorite game I’ve played from this jam so far. Fantastic work!

Where can Gouvernathor's CRT shader be found? I have checked the linked github account but I can't find it there.
uhm you're right, it's here https://gist.github.com/Gouvernathor
For some reason it doesn't show on the main github profile maybe I'll put that link instead.
Anyway, please let me know your opinion on the game as well when you play it!
