The Creator:
Since this is a role playing game, I think we should role play the bio. You’ll be the talk show host and I’ll be the charming celebrity. Okay? Ready. Go.
Who are you?
Hi! My name is Mitchell Clifford. I am a multimedia artist from Cincinnati, Ohio. I live in an apartment in the gaslight neighborhood where I tend for a growing number of dying plants. I got my start in game development with a bunch of half-finished Pokémon ROM hacks that hopefully no one will ever see.
Why did you want to make a game?
I have been playing video games since I was very young. My earliest gaming memory was “loosing” Pokémon Yellow because I couldn’t beat the Elite 4 with my level 80 Pikachu with mega punch and losing all of my money due to whiting out. I have always been enamored with how games can immerse their audience in a foreign world and I wanted to take a shot at making one for myself.
Why this kind of game?
The love of my life for the past 2 years has been the period mystery. I have read over 100 novels in that amount of time. I have been wanting to capture the experience of reading these novels, but put the control into the audience’s hands. My problems with mystery games that I’ve played were that most of them kept the story on rails. Through the stories I read, each detective has their own style and philosophy that guided them in their search of the truth. I wanted to make a game where a player's problem solving skills directly impact their search.
