hideous, fabulous
Entry for ShuffleComp 2024, inspired by these songs from my assigned playlist:
Scattered Pearls - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Sugar Water Cyanide - Rebecca Black
Candelabra Cadaver - The Slow Poisoner
Frankenstein - Rina Sawayama
*****
A murder mystery, but what you’re looking for isn’t who’s guilty.
Multiple endings, possibly multiple canons.
Note: aspects of this game rely on color vision. I’m hoping to adapt a more accessible version post-competition.

Curse my thieving hands… This was great! I replayed it a bunch until I got a few different endings. Clever!
Genius concept. It's short, but incredibly well done.
I got got by the trick the first time around, too. I just saw the pearls hidden and automatically assumed you were supposed to grab them. Stupid of me! A highly symbolic ending.

Dark but clever and fun! I enjoyed this!
really fun to play & such playful take on the songs!
Ahhh I loved this--you had me from the cover art, and the game did not disappoint!!
