A Mystery Game for Notepad

This is a game that I am working on that simulates you being a detective.

You will need notepad, the complex knowledge of knowing how to copy and paste, and tolerance for my jokes.

echo You- Interesting.

echo You- Interesting.

echo  John- It must be a misunderstanding.

echo You- What makes you think so?

echo You- What did you see the night of the murder.

echo  Tony- I was strolling past this house late at night and I noticed that the

echo   door was open. I was just going to be nice and shut the door for them but

echo   when I got close to the door, I could smell blood. I walked in and the 

echo    woman started screaming. I called 9-1-1 but by the time the

echo    ambulance came, she had died from blood loss.

echo You- Did she say anything?

echo  Tony- Nothing I could understand. The blade in her side was causing her

echo   excruciating pain. Who buys a golden knife and decides to

echo   waist it on an old woman?!

echo You- can you describe what the knife looked like?

echo  Tony- Sure. The golden knife had an engraving on the hilt that said Artewe.

echo   The knife looked like it was made outside of the country since the

echo   design on it was so unusual.

echo You- is there anything else? When investigating the crime scene, No fingerprints

echo   were found except the fingerprints on the knife.

echo  Tony- So I guess that is why you are investigating me. I promise detective,

echo   I did not kill that woman.

echo You- And I believe you. Until there is proof otherwise.

echo.

echo You- Good afternoon Harper. I am here to discuss the murder.

echo  Harper- Oh that poor woman! I was doing a neighborhood stroll and I heard 

echo  her screaming! Since I know how to pick locks, I unlocked the door and I 

echo   saw that she was dying! I tried to pull the blade out of her stomach but

echo   I was just causing her more pain. She passed out but I thought she was

echo    dead. I left and tried to get others that might be able to help her. But 

echo    by the time I got back, she was gone.

echo You- The ambulance probably picked her up. Why didn't you call 9-1-1?

echo You might have been able to save their life.

echo  Harper- Detective, I knew she didn't have much longer before she would die.

echo  I didn't have a phone on me nor could I see a phone in her house. I knew an

echo   emergency doctor lived a few blocks down and I thought that it would be 

echo   quicker than trying to borrow someone's phone.

echo You- Did the woman say anything to you? 

echo  Harper- No detective! I wish she had though but she was in a lot of pain.

echo  I only made it worse. Maybe if I hadn't tried to remove the blade 

echo   she would have lived.

echo You- easy there Harper. This is not your fault. This woman was doomed to die

echo when her murderer decided to kill her.

echo  Harper- Thank you detective. I might have something of use before you go. 

echo  There was a gag that looked like it was cut off right next to her. I also 

echo   saw Skyler and Gabe cross by the house while she was screaming.

:Max

echo.

echo You- Good afternoon Max. I am here to discuss the murder.

echo  Max- I don't really like to talk about that. So you see, she was my mother.

echo You- I am so sorry for your loss. I need all of the information I can get about 

echo what happened that night if I am going to be able to help though.

echo  Max- Ok. So here is my side of the story. I was taking a nap that afternoon 

echo  and I woke up to the sound of someone screaming. I shot up and sought out 

echo   the sound to find that it came from my mother. She was bleeding out and I 

echo   had the sudden urge to gag. I raced to the nearest bathroom, threw up, and 

echo    passed out for about an hour. By the time I woke up, she was dead.

echo You- Did you see the person who did it? Did you find anything?

echo  Max- I did. And it was not pretty. I found a note that must have been left by 

echo  her murderer that explained to me the threat. My mother had received a note

echo   from them saying that $100,000 had to be given to them in the next 2 hours 

echo   or else she would pay with her life. My mom does not have 

echo    that kind of money! 

echo You- Is there anything else?

echo  Max- Yes. There was a hand drawn duck with a knife in the bottom left cornor 

echo  of the note.

echo You- Rest assured that I will catch this murderer.

echo You- Good afternoon Skyler. I am here to discuss the murder.

echo  Skyler- Is she dead? She was driving me crazy ever since

echo You- Yes, she is. Did you see anything that night?

echo  Skyler- Well I definitely heard things last night. I had not had a good 

echo  night of sleep in a long time so I thought I heard someone 

echo   screaming in that house last night. 

echo You- Is there anything else you would like to tell me?

echo You- You were expecting this?

echo  Gabe- N-no detective! I was just saying that someone should have been 

echo  on this case sooner.

echo You- Alright, so what was your experience? 

echo  Gabe- I was napping and I woke up to the sound of someone screaming. I opened 

echo  my door and crouched behind a bush as I saw a girl run out of the house, 

echo   stupidly leaving the door open. When I knew she was gone, I took a look at 

echo   what the commotion inside of the house was. I saw a pitiful body of an old

echo    woman lying on the floor. I touched the handle realizing that it was pure 

echo    gold and then ran from the cite for fear that I would be accused

echo     for killing her.

echo You- So why not report the body to the police?

echo  Gabe- I knew I left my fingerprints on the handle of the blade and on the 

echo  door. Trespassing was also a big concern. I was sure that the woman who ran 

echo   out of the house must have been wearing gloves so that no evidence was 

echo   left behind and I feared of being tried for murder.

echo You- You weren't the only one that left their fingerprints in the house.
