The Root Cause

Decipher the root cause

A murder covered up, an innocent man blamed. Can you decipher the root cause?

The Root Cause is a 2D Unity game developed over the course of two days (and nights!) by a five member team for the Global Game Jam 2023!

Unfortunately the game was not submitted on time due to a technical issue right at the end. We managed to salvage a build and the project which you can now play! (Make it full-screen!)

You can find the code to this game here: https://github.com/Ziszel/root-cause-ggj

We hope you enjoy our game!
