Who Killed Mr. Anthen? is a murder mystery game where you roll for alibis, clues, and their legitimacy to discover who and why Mr Anthen was killed.
You start by creating any number of suspects that you like, complete with their connection to the victim, their motive, and their alibi, then over the course of 5 Days, with only 3 actions each, you choose who to interview, or which room to search.
When searching a room you roll a die and have a potential of finding 1 of 3 clues that are hidden in the room, and then you must roll to determine if it is real or fake.
When interviewing the suspects you may ask about their motive or their alibi, and then roll to determine how likely it is they are telling the truth.
Unfortunately there are a few typos such as some variables that require rolling a 1 on 2d6, which means it isn't possible to get this result, and others like the lie scale which include 6 as both 'likely a lie' and 'likely a truth' but all in all don't detract from the overall game play.
My Mr. Anthen was a mafia boss who ended up being done in by his own bodyguard for killing his brother, you can find my playthrough HERE
