Made as a group for Global Game Jam 2026 Singapore!
The theme is..."Mask!"

Read the Room: A goofy high-school deduction game where you observe NPCs, mimic their behaviour, and adjust the emotional “mask” they perceive you wearing to uncover the truth behind a bullying case. 

Sit at school benches to spy on different characters’ inner thoughts, take notes, and interact with specific objects to mask into their personalities. What you do with your new mask is up to you!

See which mask you're wearing + progress bar on the icon at the top right

- CONTROLS -
WASD - Move
E - Interact
Left Mouse Click... to interact with the basketball at the court

good

Thank you soooo much for playing our game!

By the way, to progress, you can sit down on any bench and look at a character, click E to spy on them and click the texts that will float up while talking to them

Once your progress bar is filled at the top left as you learn about their personality, you can finally talk to the character!

Sorry about the ball difficulty! You cheeze it by holding it and jumping at the hoop and letting the ball go through it 

Thank you again! :D
