         | Not sure why that seems weird to you. The fun and challenge of
         | murder mysteries is solving the puzzle with as few hints as
         | possible. Murder mystery games aren't trying to emulate real
         | life. For that, you'd want a police or legal procedural, such
         | as Sierra's Police Quest.
