400 plays!  Thank you, Parsercomp.

Very cool. A lot of potential. But it doesn't require the detective to find significant evidence of guilt. It seemed like it only required you to guess correctly. This cuts down on the challenge level a lot. It doesn't surpass classic mystery parsers like Witness, which requires far more snooping and puzzling things out. One suggestion, perhaps the player should be required to produce their own verbal argument for why this person is guilty. AI may be effective at evaluating it. Remember that at the end of Witness, the player is directed to come up with their own explanation of the evidence they found (and don't look at the next page until you have it worked out). Definitely exciting things could be done here.

Cool! -- let's do that.  We're almost ready to release our beta of the autoring environment . . basically a no-code IF system.  A more in-depth mystery seems like a natural place to start.  Each chapter takes less than 60 min to author . . I'll ping you to see if you are interested in a wrtiing session.  M

Cool let me know!

Very fun! I felt like I was in a detective thriller!
