I guess this game is not in active development any more (as in, it works and is maintained by the dev(s), but he/she/they are not adding features to it).

Anyway, I discovered two things that aren't quite logical and could be fixed (actually there was a third one but I can't recall that one right now).

*** Make it so that your CLIENT cannot give you witness evidence any more, or at least a very vague/unsubstantiated type of testimony. It is indeed very absurd when you grill your client, only to discover that they saw so and so FLEEING THE CRIME SCENE WITH BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. I know this game is procedurally generated, but come on.


*** Make the townie you're currently doing a favour for impervious to stress for that one case. Indeed, what is the point of asking me to find the one who did in is friend or his relative, then stonewalling me a few lines later because of stress? Wouldn't you want to help out in any way you can if your friend got savagely shanked?


*** Item 3 if I remember it one day

If I would carry on the logic further I'd even add that the townie who needs a favor should be seen as an ally and therefore be as helpful as any of your contacts.

As for the client there are cases in which the client is the guilty party so that would make sense if the client chooses not to be helpful. Of course that would also be a give away. So yes probably better if the client is kept out of the interviews.
