About

 This one-page RPG combines elements from Lasers & Feelings and Clue/Cluedo. Players create their characters by selecting a name, occupation, and personal goal. The game uses the basic resolution mechanic of Lasers & Feelings, where success or failure is determined by rolling a six-sided die (d6). Gameplay is inspired by Clue/Cluedo, where players gather clues through exploration and interrogation. Successful rolls provide clues that help eliminate possibilities, allowing players to narrow down the true suspect, weapon, and location of the murder.
