just wanting to be sure - there is a written script included for each character?

Yes but my copy had errors so u knew at least 2 people who were not the killer

Not that I know of, I personally just did a lot of guessing and checking, and still have yet to figure out what a couple of them do. I also found that using ctrl + certain letters work in some cases, such as copy and paste.

Absolutely. They can run any file that you link. Just link the script and it works, no problems. I've done this myself :D

Yes. This is a scripted game. In some games, even the murderer doesn't know they are guilty until the last round. In the Mardi Gras mystery, the killer is revealed to that character (privately, in the script booklet) and they must spend the entire game trying to cast suspicion in other directions. This can be fun, but, in the end when everyone guesses who the murderer is, this person already knows. This twist did NOT keep us from having fun, though. And since you play the game one time and know who the murderer will always be, you have the opportunity to invite another group of friends over and give them the fun experience of being a detective.

True. There is a small included adventure, but after that you are on your own. Although there are tons of resources online (message boards, recycling old movie plots etc) to get you going. And feel free to steal ideas from your players. For example when they talk worriedly about how they think someone will turn on them, jot that down if it's a good idea.

I am not sure there is some writing on the package. The fun you have throwing these guys around is great! It would be a great vehicle to use imagination to come up with new games.

Yes. It'll come in 10 minute increments, but when you put them all into an editor, they come out normal.

Unfortunately, no. Others have tried "adding on" and have written that it did not work. The script only allows for that number of characters. However, for those playing - it's a blast. I give this murder mystery high points.

Yes. Normally they're all in English except marked with "OCG" or "Japanese"

This isn't pen and paper D&D so, no there isn't a built in way to add characters. This is more like PS2 Baldur's gate made into an awesome board game. There are premade characters from R.A. Salvatore's Companions series who have set abilities. They are used in a tile system that generates a random dungeon every time you play, with differing scenarios to vary victory conditions.

Not that I am aware of; however, this was a gift so I can't look and verify.

Similar in idea as you have limited actions based on a character sheet. Mostly determined by dice rolls of specific symbols. More story based though

Not to my knowledge! However a lot of components are controlled with codes entered into menus that are accessed by technicians! So maybe?

Points to discuss and hide for each section. We had a mixed group, some actor types some shy and it worked out great. Character. #1 will have a bullet point that perfectly intertwines with another character. Very fun group night.

Yes---It saves TONS of time and does things that word cant. One BIG thing is stretching out or shrinking line spacing so dialogue or action lines don't get split at the end of the pages. And less worry, as you KNOW that your script is formatted to industry standards too.

Each player gets a short autobiography for their character and a bit on others. At each round, each player receives a list of what they must reveal and what not to reveal. No one knows who the killer is until the very end. There is no script, so each player has to devise their own way of getting to information, although no one is permitted to outright lie.

All of the characters and some you probably don't remember are included in the game. They are "playable" if you draw them, recruit them, and pay them.
