Welcome! I kinda stalked the forums as well for a bit as well, I wish I had joined earlier. :sweat_smile: Sorry for replying without a character, this is an interesting project and game idea. I just donโ€™t have time for anything other than my mini game jam.

I donโ€™t know if you have a certain requirement for characters, cuz I feel like you canโ€™t just put any body shape or formatting in this type of game, so if you need a specific type of character body, please specify.
I also changed the #5 on the color pallete from 7774FF to FFF694.
Hope this makes it into the top six once others reply :sad_but_relieved_face:

The plot of this game reminds me of one of my first games I made on the forums.
So I was wondering, if I could have my character as an Easter egg/ background character.
Name: Kale wait no Kyle
Personality: Distant yet kind like heโ€™s constantly having two conversations..
Gender: male but if he is ever brought up again, you could use he/they pronouns

He could either:
A. Help the player with destroying evidence by telling them a good way to get rid of blood.
He could also show up in the background of some scenes being a.. creepy
B. Just a cameo from my game that could just be there for fun
Your choice. :+1:

This game concept sounds really intriguing! I love the idea of playing as the friend of the main character, Ben. For character ideas, maybe you could introduce someone who is morally grayโ€”someone whoโ€™s torn between helping Ben clear his name or ensuring the truth comes out, creating a tension-filled dynamic. Iโ€™d suggest a character who is clever, resourceful, and has a bit of a dark past themselves. Looking forward to seeing more about this game!
