In the sleepy town of Pelican Falls, there isn't much work for a homicide detective. That's what Detective Tabitha Marshall thought when she returned to her hometown following a messy divorce. A place to relax, regroup and figure out her place in life...

Until a local woman turns up murdered. 

With the Police Chief implicated, a town in shock and a budding dependancy on catnip, can Tabitha uncover the truth behind this grisly affair before it's too late...?

The Killing of Jane Doe is a short story-driven point and click Murder Mystery, filled with dark humor, fun facts, and most importantly, animal puns. So many animal puns. Step into the pawpads of Detective Tabitha Marshall, a homicide detective and total sourpuss, as she tries to solve the murder of one Jane Doe, before the killer catches up to her!

Currently in very early development/prototyping., so no files available yet. This is my second ever game, my first one with no tutorial, my first 2D game-- So we might be here a while! Making good progress currently.  I hope, but don't promise the full game will have

  • Multiple Routes / Endings
  • A Vibrant Cast of Cute Animals 
  • A Gripping, Short Murder Mystery 
  • An hour+ of playtime overall
  • Completely Hand-Drawn Art
  • Puns

Devlogs will be posted here every few days, so please stick with me if you're interested! I'm very excited about this project, and hope other people will be, too. I'm hoping to complete it by the end of August, but if not it will probably around the end of October as September is a very busy month for me.
