Air is lava! posted:There was a lot of wasted potential in there. That's kind of sad. Given that he was possessed by an evil spirit and had no way of knowing what was happening let alone stopping himself there's not really anyone to press charges against. Unless the legal system can operate on ghosts. The real culprit got dragged off to hell or some other spiritual torment with no means of escape so I consider justice served on that count at least. It is going to be hard to explain all those bodies, though. That said, I agree about the game being a waste of potential. There are a lot of places you could go with a ghost detective solving his own murder, but this game just didn't have that much vision so what we ended up with was mostly boring junior detective work that really didn't help people that much. We're not even getting into what passes for "combat" in this game. All and all, I can see how this game made its developers give up the ghost themselves.

None of the clues we got helped either. "This person died! Their profile does not fit the profile of the other victims!"

Yeah I can buy "Rude Teen did some victimless breaking and entering but then one of our officers tried to murder her so we decided to, you know, cut her some slack." But they definitely needed to explain why Rex wasn't arrested. Joy can't decline to press charges on her attempted murder and also two unexplained deaths. I can see it if the explination was Joy lied about what happened and said Rex rescued her but the Bell Killer killed the other officers and got away. But that's not what happened. As for the game on a whole, it was flawed but I give it leway because at least it attempted some new things. The gimmick of the gameplay is unique but unpolished and unexplored.

Huh, for some reason I was expecting the game to end with him refusing to go to heaven yet because The World Needs Ghost Cop.

There were some really cool ideas in this game and it is a shame that there probably will never be a sequel to refine those ideas and get them right. There's a lot that I'd call good in this game, the art tends to work more than it doesn't and the voice acting while a bit cheesy actually tends to succeed. I'm a bit of a sucker for mumbling protags though. Thanks for showing this off! You did a great job making the game fun to experience!

Great LP, good job. In my experience, credits are rushed in at the very end of a project, and different studios are responsible for sending in their own credits. There isn't always a whole lot of QA to make sure formatting or ordering is consistent between them. Hail Satan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IsXKMkDAMQ
