Very cool game, love the story and the twist at the end
Hey, thank you for playing! Nice thumbnail too ;)
As soon as I heard that cough, I knew what would await the poor detective! Great job!
Haha, thanks for playing!
Thank you for making Cold Photos! Very interesting and sad!
Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
For being made for a gamejam, and for being I am assuming a little demo. This was not too bad so far! The story so far is well made, and the sequences were well done as well. Only issues I encountered was when I clicked on the note on the car the game softlocked. I could no longer move my character at all, so I had to restart the game. Other issue was there's a mistyped name at the beginning of the conversation at the campfire. We were called someone else for a minute. Apart from those issues though this game is quite great so far! Made a video on it.
Thanks a ton for playing! Sorry about the softlock issue. I didn't encounter when playtesting and have to wait until after the jam to upload a new build :(
A full release w/ a proper ending + bug fixes is coming soon!
Thank you for playing!
Cant wait for the full thing too come out, I genuinely see this becoming something great. (4th game in the video)
Thanks for playing! More to come soon ;)
Good, I'd like to play the rest when it's released.
Thanks for playing! More to come soon...
Such an exceptional game with decent mechanics and this was made for a game jam? - WOW!
I have do admit, I was a little biased before starting to play, because I deeply loved the previous game "911, What's Your Emergency". The tone of this might even darker compare to the first game, but I loved the addition of new mechanics, characters and the environment. I think overall, this might be the best project I've played from the "Brackeys Game Jam 2026" - trust me, I've played A LOT.
Best of luck with the future games and this particular project! I can't wait for the full release, if that happens. Cheers!
Thanks, Niven! More to come soon.
