A Murder Most Fowl

A short game submitted for the 2024 Who Killed HawkZombie!? game jam!

Hawk Zombie's been murdered and his body's been dumped in the cemetery. As Crowley "Crow" Cawman and Gully McSeagullson, it'll be your task to uncover evidence and clues to help you solve this heinous crime. But the task won't be easy. There's no clue to a murder weapon or even a suspect, and you'll need to find a way to convince people to give you information.

Gameplay is approximately 35 - 45 minutes if you ONLY do the main objective. Otherwise, depending on how many npcs you interact with, playthrough could be between 1 hour and 1 /2 hours.

Features:

No random battles - nope. Not even one. Any fights you get into will be seen a mile away.

Skill Usage - whether a skill is successful is based entirely on the character's stats. Can't persuade someone to help you? Raise that Personality stat with a drink.

Interrogation - Hey, did that person say something useful? Better drill them on it if you want more context.

A notebook - Want more in-depth knowledge for the evidence you find, or for what certain people will tell you? Check your handy notebook in the Key Items tab!

Corruption! - Depending on your choices, you'll be neither a good nor a bad guy. Just remember: You're a cop, and in this game, you're above the law (mainly because no one else can enforce it on you)!
