Game Wrap Up
This was a one shot. So we're basically done. I think I might have missed applying a rule about rolling 1s somewhere, but otherwise I think it mechanically went well. I was not super familiar with the Year Zero Engine, and don't think that I would choose it for a homebrew game, but I wouldn't hide from it either.
Thematically, the setting felt great, but then again I was reading the source material. You can go and read along in the core rulebook and see if I captured the tone and got the basics, if you're so inclined.
How did the game play, both as a mystery and as a PC?

Well first of all, thanks for DMing this for us !
And as for the feedback, let's see:
-The mechanics felt both simple and yet interesting to me. I quite like how the engine allows for many different skills to be rolled for while still staying coherent.
-The setting is good too imo, especially in that "19's century countryside" feeling. What I'll say may sound weird, but with the format of the episodic and short mission, I think it really has the potential to give some kind of "everyday's life" feeling, with small but personal stakes (I can see the players bonding more and more with the local npcs as the story goes, too).
So, that is all I had to say. Hope to see you again somewhere else ^^.

Thanks for running this and for having me.
I enjoyed both the setting and the system. If I were to play again, I think I would be a little less military minded and more investigative.
