Why doesn't it tell you who the killer was? All the mysteries are randomly-generated anyway, so it doesn't hurt to know, and would be interesting...

It's not a bad idea but its also the mystery of it as well,NOT knowing who it is if u quit. Guess think of it as if it was in real life...if a detective just gave up on a case, he would never know who the murderer was. He wouldn't have the answer to who it was handed to him just because he quit. :) That's one of the million reasons why I love Sleuth...it's realistic. Having the answer given to us when we quit would make it feel too gamey, even tho it is a game :) That probably didn't make sense BUT I tried lol
Maybe not a good answer but its what I think anyways :)

It's a good answer to me nonetheless.
That's why I hate quitting on case: "If the detective gives up, the case will still be a mystery" - Detective School Q.
Ral, one thing that is more painful than quitting a case and not knowing the murderer is quitting a case even though you know who the murderer is, but don't know the motive.

Saying that, when you accuse someone falsely you do find out who the killer is, and that wouldn't happen in real-life either, unless someone else was investigating the case and did a better job than you.

I think it's different.
Quitting a case means you have no idea, even a slightest hint, who the murderer is, or you're not sure and you don't want to gamble on it.
Wrong accusation, however, happens when you're quite sure who the murderer is. You accuse them, and it turns out wrong. In this case you would REALLY want to know how did you fail, and ultimately, who the murderer is.
And the fact is wrong accusation has more severe punishment than quitting. That's why the player should be "rewarded" a bit by being told who the real murderer is, if that counts as a reward at all.
Oh, I see you're talking about the real life. Well, I agree, sometimes real life is unsatisfying like that.
