As a former senior yearbook editor in my high school who has dealt with this exact scenario before (photos with no attached names), this game is highly accurate. The only way to up the realism would be a minigame where you run around the school asking anyone and everyone if they recognize a person lol. I highly recommend if you're a puzzle geek and yearbook geek like me!
Time flew by playing this, loved it! Clues could be found in the most interesting places! A little over the half of the game, I too wasn't sure of the logic and kinda went with random selections (usually between 2-3 options). A walkthrough with the logic around each photo will be amazing to satisfy curiosity! I am also wondering where/if the names in green (students that disappeared) are used.
PS: I would definitely buy a full version of this (eg more levels of yearbook puzzles)!
I know it would be a bit spoiler-y, but can you please release a walkthrough of some sorts explaining the logic meant to be used behind every answer? I have finished the game twice, but a lot of these I had to just guess, and a few I don't think I used the right logic for, I always love to know the real logic behind these types of games, it's as interesting of an experience to me as my playthrough itself
Edit: also, I am really curious about the "names in green" thing, is it meant to be a useful clue?
I really like the puzzle aspect though I must say there is one huge usability issue in that the "quit game" button is so close to the "photo" tab and it does not even ask for a confirmation before closing - was really far into the game when I accidentally lost all my progress. Disheartening
Excellent game! There’s a surprising amount of depth in the puzzles and story for a jam game. I really enjoyed taking my time to get all the photos the right away even though the three photo verification system did tempt me to try and brute force some of the last ones.
Just an idea but maybe after a point you can increase the number of correct photos required to get a verification, so that players stick to finding clues instead of brute forcing. The last photos were some of the most rewarding puzzles of the game.
Very well done! I’d definitely play a bigger version of the game.
It rather feels like the second half of the game lacks a lot of necessary clues in order to work out who is who. I've nailed down every person that the School Notes gives me information about, and the whole soccer team, but after that... I really don't have any clue how to progress. There's just too many missing clues.
I liked it, though I felt like I was guessing a lot in the latter half (and I never figured out whether "which students were missing" was useful information). Would love to see a guide to the logic, just so I know what I missed!

i beat it... took me almost 2 hours... I love these types of puzzle but at the end there are not enough clues left...

This is great, really nicely done!
took me the whole afternoon, some people had completely random surnames compared to their ethicity.
