The art is lovely and the musics you selected create an atmosphere full of tension. I really liked the way you made the characters dance on success hits. I found the idea quite interesting! Now I'll have to improve my skills at rythm games if I want to find the real murderer. 🤔

Hey, glad you enjoyed!
