Sleuth - Outcomes

high conceptobjectivegame structurecrime scenegraphicssoundsrequirements

3: The Crime Scene data page displays all the suspect data in a convenient table format. This is more useful as a tool which the player can use to:

  • cross-reference data
  • use a process of elimination to narrow down the suspects list
  • make comparisons and draw conclusions based on the information shown.

The only attribute that is missing from this table is the colour of the clothing worn. This was purposefully excluded to make the player do some investigation.

Reading the descriptions of the suspects when they are observed (ie: "examine suspect") will provide the missing information, as will using the CLOTHING - COLOUR criteria when searching the database.

While, at the lower levels of experience, colour may not be important in solving the case at the higher levels it could well be a crucial form of evidence.
