"Sea Turtle Soup" is a popular deduction game in China and Japan. The core of the game is to gradually reveal the full story behind a mystery through a series of questions and answers. The name originates from a classic puzzle: a customer ordered turtle soup in a restaurant, took one taste, and then chose to end his life. Why?

Went through the first story, here's my impressions - not bad, I enjoyed it. Few things that bothered me:
1. Why answering costs these... whatever those resources are? It's illogical. The player is not aware that answering will cost something beforehand. O understand it should cost lives or something, there better be separate resources for questions and answers
2. It's relatively easy to "cheat" by looking through answering zone and answer options. and figure out the more plausible solution without even asking questions. My suggestion is - once the player decided to answer, he should not be able to go back, otherwise it makes it a bit too easy.

It appears a whole lot of effort has gone into designing this mystery game. I am amazed at all the author provided screen grabs. This looks like a well designed long running game that I would really enjoy playing. However, my loading screen is hung up and just spinning at 99%. I would love to dive into this game if that bug gets worked out. Cheers! ;)

E/T/A 11/23/24 Hello @LumiGame ! Thank you for your comment! I am on Firefox. I figured out my NoScript add-on was blocking this game. I allowed it to run, and it loaded instantly. BUT the text in game appears to be either all Asian symbols either Chinese or Japanese. So I still cannot play the game. I don't know how to change the language setting to English.

LumiGame responds:

Hello, thank you so much for your feedback! To better assist you in resolving the issue, we’d need some additional information. If possible, have you tried running the game in a different network environment? The loading issue stuck at 99% might be related to your network region or connection status.
