A Murderer In The Shadows - A Sims 4 Murder Mystery & Choose your own adventure combo

ForgottenPixelsForgottenPixels Posts: 11,376 Member
Backstory: It is the early 19th century and you are Gerald Baker, a detective in London, England. You are called to a murder scene by your boss and asked to investigate. Upon arrival you discover the family in the living room gathered around the body. Your suspects are anyone and everyone who is in the house. You must discover who the murderer is from clues left by the careless killer.

So, this is a murder mystery story but at the end of each chapter you pick what our detective, Gerald Barker, does next via a poll. Does he go upstairs to investigate? Does he go in search of clues? That decision is up to you in A Murderer in The Shadows.

    So, while we wait for the results of this poll (this idea is going to test my patience as I just want to write), we can have a discussion in here if you like. :)

    That would actually make a fun story. The writer doesn’t even know and uses the “choose your adventure” portion to make a conclusion based on what readers choose. Obviously twists need to be thrown in when writing. As the story further develops, then the writer figures out “who did it” and tries to stump the readers. But in the beginning, the writer doesn’t know who to pick as the culprit.

    Right now I have someone picked out but I'm at a stage where I can change who it is. :lol: Love being at this stage.

    The real ending: He faked his own death to see the true colors of his family and staff and how they felt about him. Poor detective gets caught in the middle.

    Maybe or maybe he's actually dead.
