WHODUNNIT looks like a spooky Halloween thriller, complete with a missing person and underworld tourists crowding a small town, but it plays like a cozy comedy where the real threat is a raven and a cat who can’t stand working the same case.
The missing person at the center of WHODUNNIT threatens to cancel the town’s Halloween, and two rivals get stuck sorting it out together.
Investigation means clicking through hand-drawn scenes, closer to a visual novel than a puzzle box.
What catches players off guard is the tone: the setup reads like horror, but the game plays gentler and funnier than the framing suggests.
The town feels busy because of the underworld tourists wandering through it. Each one is a possible witness, or just a distraction.
The raven and the cat needle each other, but the friction stays verbal, competition over credit.
The playable slice runs roughly fifteen minutes. It sets up the case and rivalry without resolving either.
Background details in each scene often feed into what the raven or the cat brings up later. It pays to look before moving on.
The writing leans witty, more banter than interrogation.
Whether the game is scary comes up often; the honest answer is no, it borrows Halloween dressing but plays for warmth.
At roughly fifteen minutes, WHODUNNIT plays closer to a proof of concept than a full case, ending on a cliffhanger.
Choices lean on flavor over branching here, so replaying changes the lines you catch more than what happens.
WHODUNNIT never delivers the horror its premise promises, and that’s the joke: a missing person, a Halloween deadline, and a raven and a cat who’d rather one-up each other than admit they make a decent team.
