"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously"

Here's a closer look at how physics facilitate the animations. I don't animate the skeleton directly - I only animate "goals" (solid purple) for body parts (faded purple), which use physical forces to move to their goals.

This is out today on Steam and I can't recommend it highly enough. What a game! If you liked Return of the Obra Dinn, you'll love The Roottrees Are Dead.
Seven days into 2025 and I've already played what I suspect will be one of my favorite games of the year: The Roottrees Are Dead, a narrative logic deduction game (à la Obra Dinn) that has you searching for clues to unravel the dramatic story of a rich family store.steampowered.com/app/2754380/...
The Roottrees are Dead on Steam
A genealogical mystery straight out of 1998. Scour the early Internet for clues, uncover hidden connections, and piece together the family tree behind the secretive Roottree Corporation.
