A short murder mystery adventure on a boat.
\nIt should have been a fun boat trip. But even death likes to go swimming…

The difficulty is just right for me, not too hard to let me abort frustrated, but not too easy either to keep me busy some time. Well done!

The arrows are so faint as to be almost invisible, so when I went into the cabin, I didn’t even notice the arrow up and to the right of the cabin. This caused me to get stuck, look at the source code, put in a breakpoint and do:
\nSheryl.style.visibility = “hidden”,\nWatch.style.visibility = “hidden”,\nstate.leftGoggle = 1,\nsetLeftGoggles()
\nIn order to progress and finish the game. Only after I got farther did I notice this faint arrow up away from all the other action. And I’m not even color blind or have any serious vision issues. The arrows are the primary UI for navigating your game and they are almost invisible. You need to at least put a solid border around them or something.
\nDo that and it’s a great game though, I laughed and enjoyed it, it’s just unfortunate I had to cheat it due to something as simple as an almost invisible UI.

This is obviously up my alley, as I also often submit small adventure games to js13k. I loved the graphics and the simple interface.

\nI had a great time figuring out the puzzles, this is my kind of game.
\nExcellent work

\nI liked the humour, when the knife fell down - “apart from the knife in his head, he looks unharmed”. Also the ending is funny and the overall experience is really enjoyable.
\nI actually have nothing bad to say, great great job!

\naudio would have enriched the experience even more.
\nsome directions or hints in which scenes the items could be use-full would make the experience a bit more easy access and enjoyable.
\nVery cool game, well done!

I like the minimalist art style and thought it fit the tone of the story well. The puzzles were little simple but had a few nice moments, and I could see the overall style extending well to a longer game.

Feedback was good depending on if the item was useful or not. Some sounds would help make it even more clear. Maybe the use of the Audio Speech API could make the story more interesting without having to sacrifice space.
\nI like the characters and the style of the game. Short, but fun.
