Amazing little game! Love the small details and animations you've put in.

This is a very good puzzle game, I especially liked how much details were in the crime scene...interesting concept for a detective game...

Am I supposed to be blocked on the first level unless I glitch through the white walls?  The glitch through the wall doesn't work every time so not sure if it's intentional.

You have to snap 2 pictures of each object to proceed. I'll update it with text that makes that clear.

Really interesting concept and controls! Fun. And lots of interesting props for a tiny little Pico-8 spritesheet!

Thanks much! It's kind of a proof-of-concept for the puzzle formula but I did eventually flirt with pico-8's limits for code, sprites and music.
