Nice quick story game. I'd like to know somehow if I picked correctly but maybe that's part of the game.
@Tygrak, yes, it's how the game is designed, you make your own decision. But there is a way to find a very solid clue. ;)
Nice game, good graphics. Played it a couple of times and maybe I'm just thick but I can't figure out what should tip off what the solution is. Maybe it's unclear what the rules of a shapeshifter in this game's lore is.
Really calls for some kind of audio (played the compo version).
Definitely enjoyed the use of the theme. I sort of got the impression there is not right answer after exhausting everything and that you just try to make your own choice. Though I did notice one part where one Mary copied the other, which.. I think means they're the imposter?
Anyhow, I spared the Mary who liked cakes. Imposter or no, she seemed fun.
Short, but fun! I liked it. I tried all three (unless there's more?) solutions. Great fun!
I am just in awe. That was an amazing game. Lasted prettty short but great. Good take on the theme, and that ending just blew me away. No spoilers, but just saying i was like :O
Why you can not shoot before reading all the dialogue options? I asked a question about the book and have already guessed. I was right, it was correct
Nice game. It was hard to reveal the truth on the first playthrough, but after 3 games it became clear that the 1st Mary is the real one. Good job!
Interesting. Reading your comments makes me wonder what the 'solid clue' was. Good use of the theme, somewhat simplistic graphically though.
Nice job. :)
Great game, I liked it really much! The setting was nice and you used the theme nicely, maybe I did not get something but ending seemed strange for me.
Very cool take on the theme. I like that you don't ever say which is which.
I was expecting the riddle of Mary the sincere vs Mary the liar.
Good scenario, the pixel art is smooth and beautiful, and the music is great ! I enjoyed playing this :)
I think the solid clue is in the UI feedback, in a way. Some actions are more difficult to take than others....
Nice game but I can't rate it on humor, i all other matters it was really good.
Loved the concept! Would be nice to have the option to skip through parts that you've already read. Still super fun! Great use of the theme!
Very nice story scenario with enjoyable choices. Nice touch with the breathing animation. Enjoyed it! :)
Nice! The simple graphics work well and it was an interesting puzzle to try to figure it out. I feel confident that Mary 1 is the real Mary, but is there a way to get a good ending? I want the main character and the real Mary to both survive... :)
Great conversational game, the dialogue has goes on well in every branch, it's fun and has an unpredictable ending :D
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Nice art, the answers to the questions changed depending on who you asked first and what you responded with, pretty cool. I think that the Mary 2 is the imposter.
I got it right on the first try, but I can't say I wasn't a bit lucky. Nice entry!
I enjoyed this game. Didn't really get the ending, though. Doesn't quite make sense to me... and nor could I find the elusive clue I've been hearing about. Still it was a nice entry, and I liked it.
I like the idea but it's strange to have to guess at what I myself am supposed to remember. Presumably I should know if Mary is telling the truth. I found the "twist" a bit puzzling - is that supposed to be the reason for the first comment? Then who is the fourth character?
I assume the "solid clue" is the part where the player character says "I smell a lie!"?
Alright, so I have no clue what is actually the answer. Heres what I'm thinking, however it might just be speculation:
Mary #2 is the shapeshifter.
-Mary #2 Refuses to answer the fetish question on her own.
When #1 answers first, #2 says that #1 heard it from her because #2 didn't know that #1 was a shapeshifter. This makes no sense since if Mary #2 was real, then she would know that #1 wasn't real. Mary #2 uses a flimsy excuse to try to shift the suspicion on Mary #1 and never gives a proper answer.
Very interesting. I think Mary #2 is the fake Mary, she refuses to answer about fetishes, and although she answers the same about where you met, she answers differently about the book every time. Mary #1 insists she has never read that book. Mary #2 also never states she is not the shapeshifter, merely accusing Mary #1 of being a shapeshifter, unlike Mary #1 who does.
Mary #2 comes out with a snarky comment after shooting yourself, as well, while Mary #1 is immediately angry at Mary #2.
Of course it's possible that the third Mary is the real Mary and everyone featured is actually a shapeshifter.
Thanks everyone for playing and for providing great feedback!
@adam, it's not just quessing, it's a bluff mechanics, so you can try to confuse a shapeshifter. And, yes, you are right, it's also interrelated with the twist. Both interpretations are possible.
"I smell a lie" - yes, that's the clue. Congrats!
@SamJam, her answer makes sense, if the shapeshifter heard about fetish in her normal form - and actually changed into Mary *after that*. So Mary didn't know about shapeshifter's abilities when they were talking earlier. )
@alyphen, that's great version about the third Mary. I was hoping that players would note it. :)
amazing game! played it so many tiems~ very nice! (worth high votes ) and these comments above also worth to read,so logic so fun and very Cool! congratulations~
Nice work..
Could have used more questions and maybe a backstory that can hint to the player the real Marry.
Also the questions can be put in a way that leads the shape-shifter to a trap if asked in the right sequence
I didn't like the ending much .. the tension built through out the game(of not killing your beloved) ended being unjustified and unworthy when the man turned out to be a shape-shifter.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Clever game, nice use of the theme
