A Murmur in the Trees Reviews

Nice, short game that's very atmospheric. Fun dialogue. Loved the old time period setting!

7.5/10 look cool games but is ok cuz only 25 minutes story that it

Fun little game took about an hour to complete. Walking was a little jettery and the whiskey bottles at the end were a little difficult to pick up.

Perfect mystery/critical thinking game. Lots of hidden secrets that will keep you guessing. Definitely recommended to someone who likes problem solving games!

I don't get how this is an adventure or a mystery game. I mean the basic story isn't too bad (the characters have some good lines), but it's so short is has no build-up and no surprises. Talk to people, follow the one path, do the obvious - there is nothing I would call puzzle solving here. A Mystery needs some time do develop, some suspense... The text bubbles are hard to read with this narrow font and this 2000-era bloom in top of it. Tried to tone it down, but the quality settings doesn't seem to do much - what I do notice though is that clicking in the menu still advances the conversations. I don't think there is a way to repeat conversations or look into a log of who said what - you know, like a notebook a reporter would use? It's a warm day - granted - but other games don't whip my gpu into a frenzy like this. It hit 100% during the scene at the sheriff, like this night shader takes ungodly amounts of power to be rendered. I found the boss fight too long and unfun. The prompts for picking up items take to long to fade in or register a click. Putting up a big "Hide here" sign is just giving up trying to tell the player through level design or gameplay what should be done. Why is that fight in there anyway? Throwing molotov cocktails maybe a solution to a puzzle, but don't make players who want to unravel a mystery doge and hide - wrong genre! It's a decent idea and setup for a story, but there is lots of stuff testing should've found before release.
