Howie Falk has a tough time being anything on purpose.

... and then he got laid.

WHODUNNIT is a comedic mystery visual novel following a man who must answer a burning question: who the hell did he hook up with last night?

And just who did he think he was when he said yes?

Conduct investigations through point-and-click mechanics, interrogate a large cast of characters, and cobble together theories as Howie chases down the ghost of his own gay virginity — and trips, repeatedly, over the problems of everyone else.

  • Reactive dialogues
  • A fully original, jazzy soundtrack 
  • Hand-drawn environments with animated elements
  • Stylish, kinetic menus and screens
  • Quality of life/accessibility features like line pinning, performance mode, toggled sentence pausing, and reduced motion/camera effects

Hi Don Attico! I'm a beginner translator interested in voluntarily localizing your game into Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). If you're interested, I would love to help :)

IT'S SO GOOD!
I adore how lovingly everything is put together here, from writing, charas, UI, soundscape, environments, it all feels so deliberate and polished^^

having the library spot hidden in a screen i didnt know was scrollable is evil

the rest of the comments have already pointed out the visuals and OST, so i'll just tell you to read them. what i don't see pointed out, though, is how elegant the gameplay systems are. it's very ace-attorney esque, but in a way that assumes you are familiar with that system and thus puts its own spin on the classic investigation-trial loop. it's hard to describe without spoiling it , so i'll just highly recommend.

The devs are cooking up something really special here - it's packed to the brim with charm! The character writing is fantastic, the type that gives keen readers a lot to chew on and come back to as the story unfolds. All the stylistic flairs with the ui/art as you play were like nothing else too! This ep was really the gift that kept on giving, I'm obsessed. 

I super recommend it to any fans of Phoenix Wright and other VNs - it's a silly story with a lot of heart!

one of the best visual novels ive ever played
good music, good ui, good gameplay, good art, interesting story...totally my typa game, i love detective shit like this and i love jazz

props to the entire team because not a single aspect here is lacking

A game that understands the importance of all the little things. And ho boy there are a lot of wonderful little things.

incredible work all around. Whodunnit really raises the bar for furry VNs especially in terms of the visuals and the UI. I was genuinely awestruck when I got to the Pitch section at the end Chapter 1 with the music, UI design and writing firing on all cylinders. Its insane what you've managed to squeeze out of Ren'py and Its super inspiring as well!!

I look forward to future updates and projects and thank you for offering this experience for all to enjoy :3

Played this game with PS4 controller and had a blast! The story and mystery is lovely. Makes me wonder what the writing room was like! All the character are fun to talk to and I enjoyed the exploration aspect of this game. The world feels realized and so do it's characters. 
Speaking of realized, the visual style of this game is great! I found it inspiring to see Gyrium's artwork highlighted by maurimo's sleek UI. It's gotten me back in drawing!
It's nice to have a game like this where I don't feel overwhelmed by a bunch of talking heads and a expansive location. It's like reading a good book that you can easily pick up through out the day (and have trouble putting down.)
Also, I must say I am moved by the writing! It made me feel nice see other 20 somethings struggle with feeling stagnate but still be invested in life. There's a lot of love for living in the story, and that's a wonderful thing to share.

Thank you for making this game!

i ADORED this game. im so excited for when the next parts come out, definitely stoked!! great work on the art (as an artist myself), and ethan is SO adorable i wanna give them a hug <3

Whodunnit is a slick, stylish detective game with a charming group of characters / suspects, a gorgeous dynamic soundtrack, and an intriguing premise: who has DONE it (it being Howie, our adorable, bubbly protagonist). The UI is absolutely fantastic, and the game's presentation drips with confidence. This first episode has some work to do in establishing the whole cast of characters, make us actually like them, and offer a mystery to solve, and manages it deftly; overall I am super stoked for the next entry, and have to applaud the team on their dazzling entry into the detective VN genre! Awesome work!

(+1)

really wonderful! fabulous mystery writing, deduction mechanics feel fun and fresh spectacular UI and art! the writing also really touched me... it genuinely improved my day to see mid to late 20-somethings feel frustrated and in some ways compromised in their careers and their output... but still socialising and enjoying their company etc etc. congratulations!!!

Having a good time so far. Game didnt work for me on Steam (black screen, no response) but this version did.

Any chance of an art book at some point? Lovely characters.

Character writing is just as amazing as it was in Ediction. I'm also really impressed at how dynamic the UI and gameplay is despite renpy limitations. Can't wait for more!

It's a great time with amazingly written charming characters. I'm actually looking forward to the other episodes!!

Oh damn, this was soooo good. Flawless all around. Incredible art, phenomenal character writing, fun gameplay. I think I'm a little in love with Francis.

EDIT: Oh, I also gotta say, I really appreciated the accessibility options! Being able to turn off the parallax was a lifesaver for me.
