Invisiclues

Do not look at these until you have finished the game.

1. Of course, killing yourself ends the game. Sometimes, if you try to kill another character or attack them in certain other ways, the game will end (often somewhat humorously).
2. Arresting someone before you have proof that it was a murder results in a refusal by the district attorney to seek an indictment. If it is Baxter whom you arrest, there are two variations on this -- depending on whether you have seen the papers on the Focus scandal. In all these scenarios. you are chastised by your superior for not being more careful.
3. If you arrest George after seeing the new will or after seeing him in the process of destroying it, the jury acquits him. They evidently feel that destroying the will is insufficient evidence for a guilty verdict.
4. If you arrest Mrs. Robner after opening her mail or listening in on her call to Steven, the grand jury declines to indict "citing, among other things, a lack of evidence linking her with the execution of the crime."
5. If Baxter is arrested after you have seen the lab report confirming that Mr. Robner was murdered, the jury acquits him. They cite the lack of a motive or the means to administer the drug. He is also acquitted if arrested after you have proof of murder and the documents implicating him in the Focus scandal. The jury feels the lack of means of administering the drug without a struggle is a serious flaw.
6. If you arrest George and Baxter, the district attorney throws out your case, noting that the only link between the two was hatred. If you arrest them after seeing the new will (or seeing George trying to destroy it), seeing the notepad note, and seeing the papers on the Focus scandal, the D.A spends much more time interrogating them. Although he realizes they had motives, he decides not to indict them since "no coherent and consistent theory could be proposed which involved the two of them conspiring to murder Mr. Robner."
7. Arresting Mr. Baxter after Ms. Dunbar's death can lead to a number of different endings. If you saw the suicide note, pen, or saw Mr. Baxter leaving the scene of the shooting but have not yet established a motive for Baxter to kill Robner, Baxter is found guilty only of the death of Ms. Dunbar. If you have established a motive (seen the Focus papers and read the note), Baxter is found guilty of both murders. If you have no evidence that Baxter murdered Dunbar, there are two possible endings, depending on whether you have proved a motive for Baxter to have killed Robner. In each of these endings, the jury acquits Baxter, believing that Dunbar murdered Mr. Robner and then committed suicide.
8. If you surprise Mr. Baxter on his way to kill Ms. Dunbar, the game ends in your death.
9. If you arrest Ms. Dunbar after witnessing her meeting with Baxter after you have confronted her with the lab report, she is later found dead of an apparent suicide while out on bail during her trial.
10. There are several possible endings if you arrest both Ms. Dunbar and Mr. Baxter. If you have no evidence of murder, the DA refuses to seek an indictment. If you haven't proved a motive with the Focus scandal papers, the grand jury refuses to indict them. If you have the focus papers but haven't seen the note, Baxter and Dunbar are tried -- and several jurors believe them to be guilty -- but they are not convicted since there is nothing relating the old Focus scandal to the murder. If you have proof of murder, the note and the Focus papers, you must still disprove Baxter's alibi for the night of the murder (most of the jurors will vote to convict, but a couple of them will feel there is reasonable doubt). Only if you have gotten conflicting stories from Baxter and Dunbar about the night of the murder by confronting them with the ticket stub while the other is not in the room to hear the story, can you convict the two of them.
