Crew is a futuristic re-imagining of CLUE, where you try to discover who killed the captain of your spaceship, where, and with what. The game-play includes narrowing down suspects with information and writing down info on loose pieces of paper. Not only can you solve who killed the captain of your ship, but you also get judged and graded on how well you've done and how few clues you took.
Tutorial:
Clicking on people will give you a hint about the crew or that crew member. Here are some tips that will help you narrow down suspects:
- Crew members never lie. You can take anything they say at face value.
- If a Crew member tells you someone was in a certain room during the captain's death. That room is not the murder room, nor is the person referred to the murderer.
-If a person suggests another crewmate was angry, or upset. They likely killed the Captain.
-The murderer won't tell you what room they were in when the murder occurred.
Investigating rooms will tell you the murder room and the murder weapon. There are only 4 possible murder weapons. If you find three of the weapons, the missing one is the murder weapon. Try not to investigate too many rooms. You can narrow down the room that the Captain is murdered in through dialogue, but currently the only way to find murder weapons is to guess at rooms. Don't investigate more rooms than you need to. The room with the blood drop in it, found while investigating, is the murder room.
Select your suspect, weapon, and murder room, then press the accuse button.
If you were right, you will be treated to a win-screen and your score/rating. If you were wrong, you can play again.
Currently there is a problem in that the dialogue inter-laps making it difficult or impossible to narrow it down to one killer. As of right now, your best mode option is to guess based on the clues you are given. I am working on this, but am afraid I won't finish it by the time the compo is over as it includes spreadsheets and cross-matching dialogue, which is a pain and time-consuming.
