Game story

For our first game, it was nice to have a whole week of time, which allowed us to experiment with different functionality, and focus on the story part. The murder mystery is randomly generated each time the game loads, and clues (as well as red herrings) are divided among the different inhabitants of the castle. We really like how the dynamic story-building mechanic of this game came together.
