Murder on The Zinderneuf

MURDER ON THE ZINDERNEUF has all the elements of a classic mystery: plot and counterplot, clues and red herrings, a host of suspicious characters with secrets to hide, and, naturally, a famous detective to sort things out: you. To solve the crime and expose the murderer, you can follow (shadow) suspects, search rooms for clues, and interrogate passengers in whatever style you wish, from soft and seductive to hard and mean.
In only twelve game hours (about 36 minutes of real time), you must unravel the web of passion and deceit entangling the suspects, solve the mystery and gather enough evidence to force the murderer to confess. The New York police cannot detain all the passengers. If you fail, the killer may go free-and your reputation as a detective will suffer accordingly To start, pick the detective whose identity you wish to assume for the game. Your choice will determine how quickly you will find clues, how explicit the clues may be and how (and how well) you interrogate suspects.
Having adopted your new role, you will be transported to the Dining Room (and observation deck) of the Zinderneuf, and the identity of the missing person will be revealed. Then, in the immortal words of Conan Doyle, “The game’s afoot!” Following People. You may roam freely throughout the passenger section of the Zinderneuf. All passengers will wander around the lounge, dining room, and corridors, but where else they go is revealing.
You would expect Buck Battle to go into Veronica Marlowe’s room: they’re married. But what if you see him enter Hester Prymme’s cabin? Is his purpose bibliographical, romantic, or something more sinister? Whether their relationship, whatever it may be, bears directly on the murder, it is probably worth investigating.
