This game was created for the RPG Maker Birthday Bash in a mere 30 days.

Plot
You play as a detective who's been assigned to investigate the murder of one Mr. John Doe, butler to the Belmont family for nearly thirty years. He was fairly well-liked, and the pool of possible murderers is laughably small. There seems to have been no motive for the killing whatsoever. Can you bring the killer to justice? Good luck!

Features
- Showcasing the Non-Combat Menu! Was this project created for my script, or was my script created for this project? We'll never know...
- Character selection! Choose what the detective looks like, or play as a ball of fire.
- "Deduction" mechanic that allows you to combine two pieces of evidence to infer something about the crime
- Ask around! The people in Belmont manor each have something to say about the butler's death, however, some may be more helpful than the others.
- 15-30 minutes of gameplay, if you have an inkling of what you're doing.

Progress: Completed!
This is a fairly novice attempt at a mystery game, so I hope nothing seems too obvious or too obscure. Enjoy, nonetheless.

Very simple. Not sure if I got everything but managed to get the correct perp. Cant talk to the maid? Deduction only used once ever? Or am I just missing alot of stuff?

That window maid is the most interesting character in the entire game

@bicfarmer The maid should have been fixed in the latest version... hm, I'll check it out later.

Deduction isn't used very frequently, no. There are a couple more ways you can combine things to learn some additional backstory

for example, you can use it to combine "Happily Married" and "Birthday Girl" to deduce that something is suspicious with the marriage year (married for 8 years) and the age of the daughter (15)


but that wasn't required for completing the game.
