Oh. Hadn't realized it passed longer time. 
Maybe add a "Help" button explaining this things?
I thought it passed 1 hour like the rest of knocking randomly on doors. I have only used the drink once or twice, and that time I didn't even knew how the time passed and that knocking on a door make it jump one hour. Also on my second case I was baffled that I no longer could examine evidence. Took me a long time to figure why I couldn't (again a help here would have been nice. As I thought those random text numbers were my detective skills (how often he's successful in his interrogations and such). (And I'll admit I didn't read the statics, cause again, I thought it was just the description of my detective, like in a RPG).
@Mandle, yes I realized that looking at the body tells what kind of wound killed the victim. But you know, just cause I found a knife/gun at your home, I don't automatically assume that you used it to kill your neighbor. So yes, it would be nice to be able to compare if the weapon found is indeed the murder weapon. Meaning that maybe other suspects could also have weapons laying around. Again, it's a nitpick. Was just I expected to be able to compare the weapon to the wound. Now I know that if I find a weapon, it's the murder weapon.
I haven't tried it yet, but what happens if you accuse the wrong person or only have found 1 o2 clues? Just curious.... guess I could give it a try in game.

The Rumpus Room / Re: WEREWOLF GAME (TURN #3, NIGHT PHASE)
Thu 26/07/2018 11:56:44
I'm definitely not in another round, ever! 
I once was tricked into playing Travian as my brother said "you just use 5 - 10 min a couple times to play" ... after 6-8 months I was setting my alarm clock to ring at 2:00, 3:10, 5:20 just so I could lunch a coordinated attack with other members of my alliance... I ended up giving my towns to my leader about a month before the end (it takes around 12 months) when I caught my self getting ready to tell my other half "But you just don't understand! This is important! It's a matter of live and death..." Once that thought crossed my mind, I realized I needed to stop playing that game. It was just a stupid game 
that wasn't more important than my other half and our real life!
I must admit I got pretty mad at Stu for using him breaking the rules and post during the night to gain advantage in the game. From his post I got it that the only reason he scanned me was due to my nudging him about posting during the night time. And his post also influenced how we choose the next snack... cause we didn't knew who read it, and if we choose him if people would think that it was because he voted for Sinitrena...
Only reason I even nudged him was cause I didn't want him to get kicked out of the game and thus giving us a victory by default.
And yes, I hated that the day/night ended and started at the masters "whim" (time schedule) I realize that game host also has a life, but not having a definitely time for when the turn end, makes it impossible to play the "change the vote at the last second" tactic. It would be better to say The day turn ends exactly at 00:00GMT or some other clock time.
I tried to imply that I was the seer (or knew who he was) after Stu revealed himself, but I had no more time then as I needed to go to work (I was eating my breakfast at the time) and then I don't have internet at work, so I couldn't play that angle anymore. Also wanted to say that the wolfs had been targeting me for lynching from the start, and that's why there were only 2 votes on me (as the 3rd wolf had voted on the wolf to be sacrificed, for the sake of the pack... if one of the town changed it's vote, I could claim "there's the 3rd wolf!"
)
But I have no idea how retracting my vote come across to the town... but I find it funny that VW started doubting himself again at the end... You played a dangerous game there, only reason we didn't eat you was cause we actually thought you were most likely the fool, and we had no interest at that time to eat him... So, we were as surprised to see dayowlron was the fool. 
Oh, and thanks for guarding me in the first night, I appreciate it. 
I actually thought at one point (was almost ready to PM Mandle and ask him) what would happen if the guard decided to guard one of us, if he would see that the person he was guarding was a wolf. But we decided that if that was the case the rules should have mentioned it.
I saw so many possible strategies, that I got my self confused. In the end I realize we're all unexperienced in the game and thus the strategies weren't set up properly.
Also VW made it very clear (for us wolfs anyway) who the seer was, with his first post on day 3. He had to wait for someone to vote first, and all he thought was right was wrong (except for dayowlron). He basically told us (wolfs) that he knew who the seer was and was waiting for him to vote. Once Stupot voted he voted too... It was so obvious that I started wondering what were these two up to. So I even commented (to the pack) that if VW was the seer and had scan me that it would be funny and that he had played a very dangerous game there.
Also by Stu outing him self like he did, he gave us, the wolfs, the best chance we had to win the game if I gotten lynched. Cause now we knew who the seer was... so we could just go an eat him (and eat VW by mistake). Then a new lynch would come out. So know it would be one seer, 2 town and 2 wolf. Stupot could only scan one during the night, if he got a town he could get an ally if he got a wolf he could lynch. But he would be eaten next turn. And it would at best be 2 town 1 wolf... Then it would end up in a pointing fingers at each other with all 3 claiming to be town. Game could now go either way. But if they had lynched me, and the wolfs failed to eat either the seer or the guard... it would be 1 seer, one guard and 1 town. At this point the only town left knows that any one claiming to be town can only be a wolf. I think it would have been better if VW had come out as the seer and claimed I was a wolf, and that Stupot was a town. That would mean that for josiah and selmiak, that both know they are town would more likely change their vote. Than Stupot outing him self like that. Just a thought maybe?
Also saying that as wolfs, after the first night we all could take a risk and pick one of them, PM and claim to have scan them and seen they were town, and thus gain an ally. The only downside with this would be if we accidentally PM the seer, who would then know that person was a wolf and that the wolfs were using that strategy. But again, we only thought of that later, by then it was a bit too late to try that. As the possibly of hitting the seer or one that was already "recruited" would have been high.
I have no idea if I come out as a wolf all the way (guess I didn't since they decided not to lynch me),but I fully expected to be lynched during the 3 days... which is why I decided that just in case I added Riaise to my list of suspect wolfs...

It's nicely done and I it keeps me occupy for the needed 5-10 minutes. Not particular difficult (only did 3 cases, so don't know if the difficulty increases).
Needs some polish in it.
What are the 5 numbers on the top right of the menu for? They *click* but seem to do nothing.
Here's a few nitpicks, in case you decide to improve the game:
- First the time, you are showing a clock saying AM/PM, but when talking to suspects they say "leaves at 1:00 and returns at 5:00"... And I'm left wondering: Is it 1AM to 5AM? 1AM to 5PM? 1PM to 5AM?
I've noticed (on my third case) that a suspect was returning at 13:00 so... you have a clock referencing hours as AM/PM but then use 24H in the dialogues... Make it consistent, please. And if you can't decide which to use, make an option and let the player decide AM/PM or 24H.
- I've also noticed that knowing the time that the suspects come and leave is totally useless, so I no longer ask them for their habits (I can ask that at the BAR... how does the bartender know that anyway, yet has no idea where they live?) But the tactic I used on my first case was: knock until nobody answers, then "break in".
- You should have a button just to pass the time, as it would look less odd than knocking on the suspects door every hour... So... if you add that, then maybe let the suspect be more cleaver and start getting suspicions if you knock on the door one too many times and have no new question or accuse him. Maybe making the suspect "clean" the house from evidence if that happens or something, thus making knowing the habits more important than it currently is.
- They crack under "pressure" pretty fast. Wish all murders were this straight forward when accused of a crime. Maybe add some more random sentences for them to say. 
- Also is there more than one body?? It's like I'm at the same crime scene every time.
- One last thing: why can't I compare a gun/knife with a body? How am I going to check if this is the gun/knife that killed him/her? (as in the wounds are consistent with the weapon)

Hi CW,no there's no crash msg, no idea if the app writes a dump or info file either (does it?)
The app just closes, after a while of it "auto opening again" it comes with a msg saying something like "AGS has stopped many times. Close App?" (not exact wording, but the msg is coming from Android as far as I can see/understand, not the app it self)
Also this tablet is using a bluetooth keyboard and I noticed that just turning it on, it mostly automaticly closes the AGS app.
Except for an eventual pluging in this game (and a couple others) making the app crash and just silently close it self, I don't the problem is specific to this game. I have played another game from start to end on it, so I know the App works on some games. If it's plugins that are making it crash or just the HD quality of these games, I can't tell.
Maybe we should split this issue from the thread as it's not specific to this game (except for an eventual use of plugins)?

Daniel, I have tried the Esc, but doesn't seem to work. 
And yes, I know it's not a tablet release. I'm using the AGS android app. But guess this game is just too heavy for it, so hopefully my win tablet will be up and running again soon. Does the game use any plugins that might make it crash? Might just be my android though.

geesh, take it on me being Portuguese and then you come at me in a technicality. In Portuguese morning and day are the same word (check it if you don't believe me)! And technically the night is still part of the day... But I suspect you're only trying to confuse us.
If you want the wolfs to win then lynching me seems like the perfect thing to do.
So, I hate to do this too as I was more inclined to vote for selmiak or Riaise, but you leave me no choice.

Oh, poor Privateer! The good news is that he can now concentrate on Feria from the afterlife.
Okay, now we have to lynch a Werewolf! There is no way around it. Yet, I don't have much more insight as I had last time. Failure for us to reach a consensus on whom to vote will result in a win for the wolfs. No locks will keep us safe this time.
I got my 3 main suspects. Need to make a decision soon.

No way to remove voice overs and just use the text, and the animations plus the rooms keep blinking and cutting all the time. Even though I have reduce the quality to 800x600 (60Mzh) and the textures down to SD...
Unity sucks! Long live AGS!
