First Devlog

We are Wacky Willows, we are a developer team from Chile: Sofia Castro, Josefa Muñoz and Santiago Rojas.

This week we started to work on the game conceptually.

A puzzle game for 2 players where a detective (who can see ghosts) and a ghost must solve the same murder, where each ghost has a different ability necessary for its resolution. Throughout each level, they must travel through a map and solve puzzles to collect all the clues that will help solve the murder.

The game is set in a top-down zone map, where players can enter houses or buildings, and upon entering, they will only see the room. To access certain areas, players must complete a mini-puzzle/game.

The detective and the ghost see different things; for example, the ghost sees a scent trail that the detective cannot see, while the detective sees things with their magnifying glass that the ghost cannot see. They must communicate and agree to follow the clues.

Some unique abilities of each character include: the detective can pick up and move physical objects and use their magnifying glass to see things in detail. The ghost is capable of passing through walls or doors to search for clues and can interact with some types of objects in the environment (such as making lights flicker to scare another character).
