Lights, Camera, Murder!

The bullet-riddled bodies of film star Clara Rose and her estranged husband are found on a dusty backlot at Orpheum Pictures, the most powerful studio in Hollywood. Was it a classic murder-suicide? A business rivalry that turned personal? Revenge for unpaid debts to the Mob?

Or could it be something far more sinister, and bigger than anyone could have imagined?

Post Mortem games are deeply narrative-driven and chock-full of puzzles, clues, intrigue and complex problem-solving. Your case file will come with everything that a sleuth needs to solve a murder. Witness statements, autopsy reports, crime scene photos, a few key pieces of evidence that you’ll have to find along the way, and the whole story unfolds from the pages of a penny blood novel that you navigate your way through. There’s choices to be made, leads to track down, suspects to clear, and a murderer doesn’t need a Luchador’s mask to hide themselves in plain sight.

Hey Detective, over here. Minimum age on this case should be twelve or so, we like to start em’ young but not too young. Murder ain’t exactly suitable for the kiddos, and there may be a few allusions to sinister behavior that we don’t want to be corrupting the youth with, alright? Else wise this one’s good for you crime procedural junkies or true crime aficionados who enjoy CSi and Law and Order. You can solve it alone or you can get the whole department on the case, that’s up to you. It’s a full on murder mystery, an active case that needs your help solving. There’s a few puzzles in there but for the most part you’ll be using your powers of deduction to figure out if our prized luchador is also our murderer. Think you can figure it out?

This is a case you can work through at your own pace. Chief hasn’t given any deadlines so if you need to set your notes down for a while and come back to it that’s perfectly fine. Just make sure you are actually keeping notes, wouldn’t want you to have to go all the way back to the beginning. I mean you can, nothing’s stopping you, but that’s not really detective work is it? Anyway, you stick at it long enough and you’ll find the whole thing will probably take you two-three hours, maybe a little less if you’re a seasoned detective.
