Multiplayer Update for Curiosity Killed The Cat (and also a character sheet)



About a month ago, Pandion Games released an update to Hints and Hijinx, the system that this game was made during a game jam specifically for making games in that system. For the games I have made using other systems, I figured it would be fun to revisit them if the developers added anything new. This is what I did for Curiosity Killed The Cat! You may have noticed that two new files have been added to the download page and here is what they are!

1. An Investigation Journal to document the bizarre mysteries you have come across while trying to find the killer. It's very similar to the character sheet that Pandion Games created for their SRD, but its specifically designed around the changes that I made to the system (like choosing your successful numbers and a page dedicated for culprits). 

2. A Multiplayer Add-on has also been created! These additional rules transforms the game from a solo journaling game into a group journaling game with hidden role elements. A Detective, Killer, and Suspects are all randomly chosen while the GM runs the game behind the screen to make sure that certain information remains hidden. The Suspects will have to work together while the Detective secretly guides the group in the right direction. The Killer has to eliminate all of the players while also making sure to get rid of the Detective to greatly hinder the Deduction Phase. The deduction game is primarily based on luck and playing with a large group of people, but if the Suspects fail to work together, the Killer will slowly start to pick them off. Pandion Games released a Solo+ mode for the system that introduced multiplayer, but I did not use much of it to create this mode. That decision was made because my resolution system did not convert well to that update, so I instead made my own that did not require me to rewrite the entire structure of the original game. That's why this mode is considered an add-on. I would still highly recommend checking out their Solo+ update though!

With this update the game will also be going on sale! So if you were on the fence about getting the game before, why not give it a try? Every purchase of the game gives someone else the potential to get a free copy!
