That was a fantastic entry for the Ludum Dare 25 and I think the main reason why I loved this one so much was its narrative setting (and of course the well written dialogues). I'm happy to see that you scored the 8th place with it. :) It's a real intriguing interactive novel and I couldn't wait to figure out who the murderer was. <3 Gladly I recommended your game in a little article on our blog and also uploaded a gameplay video of it. :) Keep it up!

Best wishes,
Sebastian
