Theme: Murder Mystery

Theme: Murder Mystery is a Note in Deathloop .

Location

Found outside Charlie's Sanctuary in Updaam . It is on the table on the back balcony.



Transcript

Concept: Play as guests invited to a formal dinner party.

Right before dessert, 2-BIT kills the lights (6 seconds, approximately).

When it switches them back on, the murder victim (chosen from among the players!) is lying in a pool of blood. (complication - Wenjie says people in the Loop will disappear when they die)

Players will become amateur detectives - scour for clues, interpret evidence, and confirm the identity of the murderer with 2-BIT

Clues: Stolen jewelry, smoking gun, family heirloom, unsigned will and testament (too cliché?), bloody footprints (good!), knives, ropes, etc.

UNFINISHED IDEA - TO BE REVISITED: How the heck does one even begin to write a murder mystery?! Can you make a player the murderer?? Too complex!!!

Colt Note

Charlie considered a murder mystery theme for his game.
