TrustFall
🕵️ Ashes of Trust
"Some crimes don't begin with a knife... they begin with trust that slowly burns away."
A short first-person detective game where every clue matters.
Investigate the mysterious death of William Oliver, examine the crime scene, question the victim's nephew, and uncover a truth hidden beneath years of trust.
🔥 Theme: Slow Burn
The Slow Burn theme isn't about fire—it's about the investigation itself. The truth isn't revealed all at once; it unfolds piece by piece as every clue leads to another, slowly exposing what really happened.

I thought this was okay for what it was, it was short and I liked the idea of investigating a crime scene and looking for clues! It was for a game jam! I wish I knew what was behind that door.. :(
I didn't find all the evidence pieces. I got 10/14? It was an interesting experience.
I am glad I got the right person haha.
I made a video! Your game is at 26:39
Haha, thank you so much for playing my game! Reading your comment genuinely made me really happy. ❤️
And thank you so much for choosing my game as one of the three random games in your video. It truly means a lot to me, and I really appreciate you taking the time to play it and share it with your audience.
As for not finding all the evidence, that was actually intentional. My goal was to encourage players to replay the game if they wanted to fully uncover the truth behind the crime. By finding different clues in each playthrough, you can piece together more of the story and discover details you may have missed the first time.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience and managed to identify the right suspect! 😄
Thank you again for your support.
good
Thanks, brother! ❤️ Did you play it in the browser? The browser version is pretty laggy.
