All Things in Murderation

Important Game Rules and Information:

There are multiple phases and acts in the game. They are outlined below.
You may have to do multiple playthroughs to find the killer based on previous knowledge of outcomes!



Intro/Tutorial:

• You cannot explore the Chalet until you enter the Dining Hall (to the right of the stairs) and begin the first act.



Act 1: Dining Phase 1,2 & 3:



• After entering the Dining Hall you enter the first act which is comprised of 3 Dinner phases
• You can progress these dinner phases by speaking to Willem
• Talking to people, dialogue choices, and picking up items will determine what story line branch you get so choose wisely!
• After ending the 3rd phase of the Dinner party (Act 1) a murder will occured!



Act 2: Investigation:

• You will now have complete access to the lodge and must investigate the Chalet
• You can investigate the murder by talking to NPCs to gain insight on motive and evidence on other NPCs that may have commited the crime of murder!
• Sometimes there are more dialogue choices than displayed, thus use the arrow keys to cycle through the multiple dialogue choices
• You will also need to collect evidence in the form of pickup-able items scattered around the Chalet
• You get 5 permanent pickups in your inventory and these items must be able to convince the group of your accusation!
• Once you have 5 items you can progress to the accusation act to try and accuse one of the NPCs of murder!

Act 3: Accusation:

• You now must use the evidence you collected and the motives you learned to accuse one of the NPCs! (You can accuse the dead NPC as well in some cases)
• Talk to Willem to accuse a murderer! (In the event of Willem's death, speak to his daughter)
• Use the arrow keys to cycle through the multiple choices (not all are shown on the screen at one time)
• Provide the evidence you feel is the most compelling when asked to provide it (You must convince everyone)
• Depending on your choices you may catch the murderer and win! Give the wrong evidence and motives you will lose!
