10/10 !! I got so invested into the game and its world I could not tear myself away for the ~7 hours it took me to completely fill out the tree (including the locked section :D). If only I could wipe my memory to be able to experience this game and solve the mystery all over again.
I honestly created an account just to say that this is probably the best game I've played on this website! It's so cool and satisfying when you finally figure out the part you've been missing and I felt like a problem solving god when I solved the locked part. I hope you make more cool games!
Heya! Wanted to play the game because of all the good reviews, but I am encountering a problem.
When I try to load the game, only a black screen shows up and nothing more. I have been waiting for a while but to no avail. My computer had its OS recently upgraded, and can run other games just fine. I have also tried to load on other computers, and it worked on only one (that one crashed and we could not turn it back on upon loading) My internet works just fine.
Is this an issue on my end? Please let me know, and thanks.
I don't know about any of this. I have not heard about this from anyone else. Which browser do you use? Perhaps if you could try through a different browser?
You can try but its the same file. Is this a windows computer? If so I can get you an exe version of the game. But I'm not comfortable posting it here or a link to the discord here. Is there any other way you could get in touch with me where DMs exist?
Either via twitter or reddit? I can post a link to my twitter or reddit here if you'd like.
I have the same problem, although I try to play on an extremely old laptop. I checked the console in both Edge and Chrome and found this warning in both cases: "Uncaught (in promise) Your browser does not support graphics API "WebGL 2" which is required for this content."
If other people have the same problem and they want to check whether this is the problem for them, they could google "webGL 2 test". The first link will be a site that shows whether webGL2 is enabled on their device. (I have no idea how strict itch is with links in comments.)
I've been watching. Some of your fans made me aware in my discord. Thanks for giving it a shot!
I'm annoyed that you're the first person to point out the three es in that one section of the game. I fixed it but won't push a new build for a while, not until I have more fixes.
It would be very nice if confirmed names and periodicals showed up as suggestions you can click on instead of having to copy-paste or type it every time
Hi there! I just wanted to say that it was an amazing game! I just started today and I'm on 18/33 blood relatives. The thing is, I've filled out 5 guesses for the blood relatives but the verification isn't happening. Is there anyway for me to see whether my guesses were wayyyy off or not? Thanks in advance and it is such a high quality and amazing game!
I started getting stuck around that time too. If they're not getting verified, that means less than 3 are filled out correctly. Some family members have very similar names, or share the same first name, and that tripped me up quite a few times, so try checking the full list of family names to make sure you haven't mixed anyone up.
If you come to the discord there are people that can give you hints for your direct situation.
The game can be completed in a wide variety of orders, so knowing you are at 18/33 doesn't really help me know where you're stuck (And as far as I can tell there is unfortunately no good way to put spoiler tags in itcho posts like this)
WOW this game took me a long time! I spent a few hours on it every day for the past few days and I've finally filled it in and solved the mystery! I had a feeling from the start that it was going somewhere like that, and I was satisfied (though, sort of saddened) to be proven right. I have never seen a game like this before, and I really enjoyed playing.
just finished the game, and I really enjoyed it! lost a couple of hours of sleep the past two days getting hooked on unraveling the family tree, but I have no regrets haha.
I love that it was a mixture of investigative skills and deductive reasoning (and some guesses lol), but it was so satisfying to get the optional two answers right!
I really really enjoyed this!! This was incredibly well made and I literally almost pulled an all-nighter because I didn't want to stop playing. Love the atmosphere you've created and the whole late 90s aesthetic with the computer!! Super cool :>
The story totally sucked me in and the way you were able to tell it through a family tree, some internet articles and photos is incredible. You're very talented and I'd love to see a version of this with proper art instead of AI art. I understand why you used AI generated portraits, so, no judgement here :> !! Just saying, you could totally earn some money with this if you decide to work with an artist.
I wasn't looking to seriously play anything, just wanted something to pass time. Instead I got hooked! Played until past midnight and only stopping because I had to work in the morning.
I got stuck in 37 of 49 though. Can't seem to get Lauren's two youngest brothers right. I think I know what the mystery might be, but can't seem to find the right way to get more clues.
Really great game. I finished today, took a while but it was satisfying. Takes that obra Dinn detective mechanic and places it a new setting that works well.
My only criticism is I wish there were more quality of life features like a search history. Or an option to speed up loading animations.
Hey! I would love to play this game but would rather have an exe version for easy saving. The Discord link in the main menu unfortunately doesn't work for me. Would you be able to share it here? Hoping that makes things easier!
Im so upset while i was having so much fun and played a couple times over the past week i have now loss my save. I WISH i could just start over but idk if i have the motivation because of the notes. Idk what happen but i saved everytime i quit.
Sometime yesterday, itchio moved all of their HTML games from one internal server to another internal server, which means the location the game was saving to no longer existed.
The issue is not something I can help you resolve. However if you come to the discord server, I can get you set up with an exe build of the game that has an approximation to the progress you made.
I updated the game today to a new build. Would you be able to test if it opens and you can get to the discord link? Whatever problem you were having, I'd like to make sure it is solved.
I figured there was some reason why the Discord link wasn't shared in plaintext on this page (maybe to protect against bots?), so I obscured it with rot13. rot13 = copy the string from my comment into the site rot13.com to convert it into the actual discord URL. I just checked and that does still work.
Lovely game, took me quite a while to finally complete it all the way through but it was fun the entire time. Accidently closed the tab and so I had to restart from 41/50 all the way back to the beginning cause I didn't realize there was a "Save and Quit" feature. So make sure you save!
i spent 6 hours playing the game and ALMOST finished it, I saved and shut down my laptop. I've lost all of my progress. Is there a way to get any of my progress back on the browser version?
There is not. if you come to the discord I can try to help you get an exe version of the game and I have a safe file you can use to catch back up quickly.
I apologize, that's the only way to skip ahead at the moment.
Now that the game is out there as a proof of concept it would be cool if you raised money to complete it with original art, I cant in good conscience recommend this with the AI art theft that's in place
Is there a downloadable version. I lost a significant amount of progress for some reason. I had been saving normally and started the game up and it just disappear.
This was a neat game! I enjoyed the procedure of searching for names, bits of history, pictures etc, etc. Every time I found another person or the pieces clicked into place I got a rush of adrenaline haha I'm glad you included the intuition mechanic. There was a moment where I was completely stumped and it came in clutch.
The ending surprised me a bit. For the locked people, I knew both their names, but I could not figure out their relationship. So when it came time to enter the names, I got confused as to their relationship and their relationship to you-know-who. But once I saw the ending, it made sense! I found the ending to be very satisfying, and it wrapped up all the pieces together well. A wonderful game!
I don't think itch has any way to mark spoilers, but please be aware that these comments are public and appear below the game. I'm wondering if maybe you could try to edit your post to talk a little more in code. Thanks!
I was really enjoying this game and played for a bit yesterday and this morning, but now my progress has completely disappeared. I've been on chrome this entire time and saved and quit each time and got the screen that told me I was good to exit. This didn't give me any issue going from yesterday to this morning, but for some reason this morning to this afternoon completely deleted my progress. It was fun while it lasted :(
The only thing that I know that can erase game is clearing cookies, as well as in very rare cases, some adblockers (I don't know why... the game has no ads of any kind in it and doesn't connect to a server)
If you are on Windows and willing to give it one more shot I can send you a version of the game that is an .exe instead of playable in browser. It will not have the same issue, as it will save locally.
I'd love to give it a shot again if you can send me that file! It must be my adblocker, since I haven't cleared any cookies since this morning. I was really enjoying the game!!
Answers are checked automatically. Whenever you have three things right the game should automatically let you know and then tell you what you had right.
There is a bug with some adblockers I have run into where they occasionally freeze up the game and have it stop automatically checking for answers. There are no ads in the game, so I don't know what causes this, and its very, very rare (only two or three people out of everyone who has played the game has run into this)
Sure! Can you edit your post to maybe remove their names after you find it? Or delete the post and I'll delete this reply.
EDIT: I totally misread this at first and thought you were asking for the answer, not a hint. Hopefully you didn't see the first thing I wrote.
Here's more of a hint: One of the two people you mentioned was pretty high profile, but before the internet existed. You may have searched for them online, but did you check the more old-school resources?
Wow, what a cool little mystery! I definitely had other plans for today and didn't expect to spend all afternoon and evening mapping out an entire family tree, but I did and it was awesome. Fantastic work -- thanks for making it!
i love love love this! i enjoyed the music and the attention to detail. i see a lot of comments ragging on the ai art, but i really had no problem with it because i think it's a good resource for anyone who doesn't have the proper resources to fully illustrate such an intricate game. the only thing that was a little bit frustrating was the scrolling through of all the names when trying to put them in the identity slots... it was hard to do it properly sometimes. it felt like it was kind of sensitive. super fun and a great mental workout, though!
that being said, I HIT SAVE AND QUIT BUT IT DID NOT SAVE. maybe i shouldn't have closed the tab. i dunno. this is so sad. i was well into it and dont think i will start over again because of how long it took the first time :(
I'm extremely sorry to hear about the save issue :(
Are you on a mac and in safari? The only person that was not able to save the game so far was on Safari, and I'm not a mac user so I wasn't sure why. They told me when they switched to Chrome it worked.
If by some chance you're on Windows I can send you a version of the game that definitely will not have any problems saving because it will be an .exe and write to a file.
i'm doing it on chrome! it may be something with my cookies. i am not sure...
i did end up restarting it because i just could not resist haha! now i am currently at 45/49 and being verrrryyyy careful with my tabs and battery life haha.
Some photos are art, some photos are mundane artifacts. I would say this game doesn't use AI art. It uses AI-generated mundane artifacts. I'm totally okay with that.
If you need a tiny push on the last few, I can usually provide hints in the discord that can help you get to the end (as opposed to just telling you the answers).
I just wanted to say this has absolutely CHANGED my expectations for games, and the games I hope to create sometime! I've reached out to multiple people including friends and family to get them to play, becuase good GRIEF was this game entertaining!!! It's literally been helping me with my schoolwork (I just imagine that I'm playing this while studying lmaooooo)
It's a puzzle game that tricky, but not frusturating! And the story is absolutely beautiful and INCREDIBLY interesting.
Also, while I don't support AI art, as an artist, I actually do like the use of it in this game! It makes it all feel a bit uncanny, thus nailing the aging on some of the photos. It's kinda wild how characters look facially consistent among several photos! (Especially Clark!)
All in all, thank you so much for this experience :]
i've made a support donation and earnestly hope that you do not use AI art in the future. i would prefer rough sketches in ms paint to this AI art. at least get someone to fix the hands. otherwise, this is a great game, thanks for making it.
I appreciate the support, and yes, I understand your reluctance with the AI art. It's why the game was not something I was comfortable charging for by default. I do not have any plans to use AI art for a game again.
For nearly every picture (there are a lot so there are one or two exceptions to this) there are context clues about who is who. A lot of the time this involves comparing pictures to the text you read about the people in them, but sometimes it involves comparing pictures to other pictures, and sometimes it involves looking for details in the pictures.
10 out of 10 the story was really compelling I really like how much some clue were right in my face but only understand them like hours of digging later xD. But yeah was really nice !

10/10 !! I got so invested into the game and its world I could not tear myself away for the ~7 hours it took me to completely fill out the tree (including the locked section :D). If only I could wipe my memory to be able to experience this game and solve the mystery all over again.
weird how this game exists within the universe of the game.
I honestly created an account just to say that this is probably the best game I've played on this website! It's so cool and satisfying when you finally figure out the part you've been missing and I felt like a problem solving god when I solved the locked part. I hope you make more cool games!

I don't know about any of this. I have not heard about this from anyone else. Which browser do you use? Perhaps if you could try through a different browser?
I use Chrome, Bing on occasion.
Will try that.
Sorry for bothering you and thanks for replying!
It shows the same problem on both browsers.
There is a file linked in the Dev forum of the update- Is it good for installing?
You can try but its the same file. Is this a windows computer? If so I can get you an exe version of the game. But I'm not comfortable posting it here or a link to the discord here. Is there any other way you could get in touch with me where DMs exist?
Either via twitter or reddit? I can post a link to my twitter or reddit here if you'd like.
Hmmm- let me think.
Most of my social media is fairly at a low- I do have Discord, and I can make a Reddit account.
And yes, I have a Windows computer.
I have the same problem, although I try to play on an extremely old laptop. I checked the console in both Edge and Chrome and found this warning in both cases: "Uncaught (in promise) Your browser does not support graphics API "WebGL 2" which is required for this content."

Thank you for looking more into this! If you can find a way to contact me privately, on twitter here:
https://twitter.com/SuperrodanDotA
Or on reddit here:
https://www.reddit.com/user/Superrodan
I can send you an exe version of the game that should hopefully work even on an old laptop.
does anyone have a similar game to this one? cuz it was so enjoyable
have you played return of the obre din? that’s somewhat similar, it shares the triple deduction feature
i haven't . ty i'm gonna check it out
Check out "The Case of the Golden Idol"
The other game I heard someone compare this to is "Her Story".
doing a playthrough on this :)
I've been watching. Some of your fans made me aware in my discord. Thanks for giving it a shot!
I'm annoyed that you're the first person to point out the three es in that one section of the game. I fixed it but won't push a new build for a while, not until I have more fixes.
I did catch a lot more typos as I played through the game so yeah, best to wait lol.
on my mind is that the small font size made it more difficult to read in retrospect, i wish you adjusted the game's viewport to make it fit better
It would be very nice if confirmed names and periodicals showed up as suggestions you can click on instead of having to copy-paste or type it every time
how do you do a periodical search?
If you're not through the tutorial, you can't yet, and won't need to in order to solve the tutorial.
If you are past the tutorial there will be more website options on the computer, one lets you search for periodicals.
okay, thanks

Completed it. wonderful game. took around 9-10 hrs to complete
found it a little hard to name all spouses. did guess work on five.
just finished the game, and I really enjoyed it! lost a couple of hours of sleep the past two days getting hooked on unraveling the family tree, but I have no regrets haha.
I love that it was a mixture of investigative skills and deductive reasoning (and some guesses lol), but it was so satisfying to get the optional two answers right!

Everything else was fantastic!
I have 37 of 49 blood relatives discovered and I’m having so much fun! A little stuck tho! Lol having a hard time finding info on some of the kids
I wasn't looking to seriously play anything, just wanted something to pass time. Instead I got hooked! Played until past midnight and only stopping because I had to work in the morning.
I got stuck in 37 of 49 though. Can't seem to get Lauren's two youngest brothers right. I think I know what the mystery might be, but can't seem to find the right way to get more clues.
Thanks for playing!
If you'd like a small hint to get you on the right track, the discord is full of people that are pretty good about spoilers. :)
I finished it! With help from discord :)
It's a really fun and engaging game, kudos to you! Looking forward for your next game :D
Really great game. I finished today, took a while but it was satisfying. Takes that obra Dinn detective mechanic and places it a new setting that works well.
My only criticism is I wish there were more quality of life features like a search history. Or an option to speed up loading animations.
Still really great though, loved it
The "back" button in the browser is surprisingly capable! I think it can take you all the way back to your first search.
Rhose's name is not in the name list. I wonder why?
Search harder. Maybe that's not her birthname..?

rot13:

It's worth saying also, I'd definitely want to buy and support a version of this with new art!
Hi, just discovered this game and wow, congrats!!
An excellent deduction game! No less compelling than what the author claims to be inspired by (and yes, I found the thing).
Is there a downloadable version. I lost a significant amount of progress for some reason. I had been saving normally and started the game up and it just disappear.
Really, maybe an export save option?
Come to the discord, I can get you a downloadable version.
This was a neat game! I enjoyed the procedure of searching for names, bits of history, pictures etc, etc. Every time I found another person or the pieces clicked into place I got a rush of adrenaline haha I'm glad you included the intuition mechanic. There was a moment where I was completely stumped and it came in clutch.
The ending surprised me a bit. For the locked people, I knew both their names, but I could not figure out their relationship. So when it came time to enter the names, I got confused as to their relationship and their relationship to you-know-who. But once I saw the ending, it made sense! I found the ending to be very satisfying, and it wrapped up all the pieces together well. A wonderful game!

I'm in a similar spot! I'd love to play the desktop version - it's such a cool game.

i love love love this! i enjoyed the music and the attention to detail. i see a lot of comments ragging on the ai art, but i really had no problem with it because i think it's a good resource for anyone who doesn't have the proper resources to fully illustrate such an intricate game. the only thing that was a little bit frustrating was the scrolling through of all the names when trying to put them in the identity slots... it was hard to do it properly sometimes. it felt like it was kind of sensitive. super fun and a great mental workout, though!

Neat game. Disappointed by the use of AI art though. Real art probably would have helped make the game better.
Some photos are art, some photos are mundane artifacts. I would say this game doesn't use AI art. It uses AI-generated mundane artifacts. I'm totally okay with that.
This game is so good! i've been captivated for the past couple of days trying to crack the case! i'm currently completely stuck at 47/50 complete.
If you need a tiny push on the last few, I can usually provide hints in the discord that can help you get to the end (as opposed to just telling you the answers).
I adore this game!!!! I'm currently on 18/50 and completely stuck but it's so so much fun!!!!!
Thanks for playing! If you find yourself looking for hints, the discord can help you out.
I just wanted to say this has absolutely CHANGED my expectations for games, and the games I hope to create sometime!

You're very welcome, and thank you so much for sharing it!
Took me 2 days to finish but ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT
This is an incredibly well made game! thank you for putting this out here
i've made a support donation and earnestly hope that you do not use AI art in the future. i would prefer rough sketches in ms paint to this AI art. at least get someone to fix the hands. otherwise, this is a great game, thanks for making it.
I appreciate the support, and yes, I understand your reluctance with the AI art. It's why the game was not something I was comfortable charging for by default. I do not have any plans to use AI art for a game again.
how would i know whos picture is who????
that's the game
For nearly every picture (there are a lot so there are one or two exceptions to this) there are context clues about who is who. A lot of the time this involves comparing pictures to the text you read about the people in them, but sometimes it involves comparing pictures to other pictures, and sometimes it involves looking for details in the pictures.
10 out of 10 the story was really compelling I really like how much some clue were right in my face but only understand them like hours of digging later xD. But yeah was really nice !
