I love the visual style of this game and the premise! The part about selling your hit song to white only label gave me a 'OH Okay so that's how it happened' feel ( I learned fairly recently that the song Surfin' Bird is a combo of songs The Bird's The Word and Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow  by The Rivingtons)! Lots of opportunities for different strategies too. I admit, I was kind of confused what 'cumulative' stats mean exactly, especially if you only have a solo act,  tho 'example of play' page helped clear things up a lot too.

On other note: aside from couple of spelling errors( I do them all the time), on the 'example of play', isn't Lulu supposed to be the would be murderer since she got card of clubs initially? Or did I misunderstand something again (I also misunderstand things all the freaking time >_<)?

Thank you! I have been updating the spelling errors and such continuously lol.

I did NOT know that about Surfin Bird! But I’m not surprised. It was such a standard practice back then because everything was so segregated. And some songs were ENTIRELY different in tone to make them acceptable to white audiences and others were outrageously close. But record labels wanted the money and whoever helped them sell didn’t matter. The payola aspect of the “Faustian Radio” was less prevalent because it was illegal. But one of the most famous cases involved a DJ would actually helped to break down the color barrier and is known for doing so. But he took bribes to do it and it destroyed his career when he was found out. Capitalism is ass. lol

I figured the example would be helpful. I’m betting your thinking was close when it came to a solo act.

AND! I can clear up that last part. Lulu’s Known Trait was the Clubs. However, we never learned her Discoverable Trait and THAT’S the one that tells us whether they’re the killer or not. R’lyeh (Who I keep calling Riley and spelled his name wrong SEVERAL times lol) had the Known Trait in Diamonds but his Discoverable Trait, which I paid the Detective for, was Clubs. So it that’s how that functioned.

Also, I always say that misunderstandings make for VERY interesting situations and interpretations in a solo play game. You’ve likely experienced it with those who play your games. You have a set vision and they do something totally different and you’re like, “OH! I never thought of it that way! That’s pretty neat.” Even my own incorrect playthroughs on a game have inspired me. So don’t feel bad about it at all!
