I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks
-Ben

That is very strange news indeed. I can't say I've EVER encountered a case where a person with no/fake alibi and a piece of evidence towards them was not the killer. I have, of course, accused wrongly at times, but most of the times I've been able to track down a mistake in my notes after spending a few minutes thoroughly puzzled.

I've come across those cases. Usually the guilty party will have 1 piece of physical, and 2 pieces of witness evidence, and the "red herring" will have 1 physical, and 1 witness.

OK, the next time you think you see this happen, let me know the mystery title.

I have changed the system to fully track mysteries that end in a false accusation. Usually, the game doesn't hold onto all this stuff, because it takes up a lot of harddrive space.

As I said, I have done this before on two occasions when players claimed that they were running into innocent suspects who had both an invalid alibi and some kind of evidence pointing towards them. In both cases, the player turned out to be mistaken. If there is a bug, however, I would definitely love to find it.

I just had one that had witness evidence pointing to one person, physical evidence pointing to a second, and I found no evidence pointing to the person that actually commited the crime.

I'm sure that's more of a problem with me, rather than the game. :)

Sure, in every single case (beyond the easiest levels at least) you get evidence pointing to innocent people as well as to the quitly party. Also, sometimes you do fail to find any evidence pointing to the guilty party.

The weird thing would be to find evicence on an innocent person

**together with no/fake alibi**

- I'm just checking, is that really what you guys have encountered?

Please excuse my disbelief. It's just that after hundreds of mysteries, I'm yet to come across this myself.

Found a case like that (I think last week)

I had 1 piece witness evidence, 1 piece physical, they didn't have an alibi, and they were innocent.

Personally, I'm not too worried about it. After awhile, you really can't expect to get every single mystery right! I may well have been sluething out of my league at the time.

As I said, give me the name of a mystery and I'll check it out.

You know what would be really nice? A counter that lets us know how many mysteries we have left for the day.

Between case files, favors, and regular cases, I sometimes lose track. Anyone else have that problem?

Oh yeah! But as I've posted before, if it's not written down, then I don't remember it. :)

Hah! Wrote it down this time!

The Terrifying Excercise of the Lost Room.

I had 1 piece of physical evidence, 1 piece of witness evidence pointing to a person, so I accused her. Turned out to be a false accusation.

And no, the witness evidence did not come from the real killer.

Oh, the alibi thing might be the kicker, though. She clammed up on the alibi, so I had none for her.
