I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

Me: likewise, you’re much too kind. Am I okay to formally accuse ___?
SERGEANT MAIDA VALE: Absolutely, Inspector. We have ___ confession, but it’s always stronger to have additional evidence to support the charge. With this new information linking ___ and ___, and the suspicious timing of their phone call, we can confidently proceed with formally accusing ___ of theft. It strengthens our case against all three of them.
OH NO! You’ve accused someone without proper evidence or a confession. You’re terrible at your job. YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM, YOU LOSE!
Ah! I thought we caught all of these, but apparently not. The game keeps track of the lies that each character tells, but it’s prone to repeat it into the character’s speech. It does make the game easier when you know exactly when they’re telling a fib!

function_call: add_lie(lie_string=‘Peter Scrunch says he spoke to Victor Esplenade briefly on the night of the robbery.’)
but that’s it so far!

Oh yeah, that’s frustrating, sorry!
We’ll need to teach Maida to be more aware of the rules…
Thanks for trying it out!
