No Time to Stalk

No Time to Stalk is a murder-mystery visual novel game created for the  Pridetharian Jam 2021 by Artie and Steven Waterman!

You have one simple mission: travel back in time to capture the Worthington Stalker, a notorious serial killer from the 1920s. There's only one place he was known to be - at a dinner party hosted by Admiral Thomas, who tragically died that night. Will you catch him in the act, or leave that night in handcuffs?

To play, use the link on the downloadable text file, or click here. Only one person can play the game at a time due to the resources required for the AI, and you need a one-time password to play. Contact Steven on Discord (Steven#3849) to arrange one!
