Pokemon Smoke and Salt
A girl went missing on Heliconia Island, a small fishing island far out at sea. Only a few people live there, so the suspect list isn't impossibly long.
Her parents came directly to you, as you have a reputation as a private detective specialized in finding missing children. You've just come back from a similar case in Sinnoh, so you head right back out and go on the journey to Heliconia Island by boat.
Will you find the girl and uncover the events that lead to her disappearance?
About
Just to come right out of the gate with it, I struggled to find a good title for this game, so Smoke and Salt might not be 100% perfect if you think too hard about it.
With the theme of 'Surprise' I thought going for a detective story that's a little twisty and a little spooky would work the best for me and I gotta say I really like how it turned out in the end. I don't wanna say too much about it, except, if you get to 'that' part, yes, there is a flashlight in the game, it's just a little out of the way. (And also there is a move that has been buffed to 80 Accuracy but I figure that you'd notice that.)

Hi, NTA!
I finished your game yesterday and want to give you some feedback. 😄
General thought: I enjoyed the game alot and wasn't bored at any point.
Positives:
-As a fan of Horror/Thriller movies the story was just up my alley. Small town with a great danger terrorising it and traditional law enforcement being pretty much useless. I love that.
-I liked the Pokemon selection. Many non-standard picks allowed me to use some Pokemon I usually never use.
-Good difficulty. The fights might be more on the easier side, but for a story-focused game it is pretty perfect tbh.
Negatives:
-The only nitpick I can think of is (as already mentioned by someone else) that the boss is just a huge damage-sponge
Overall a great experience!
Congrats on submitting something within the deadline! 🎉
