The lack of technology was in some ways a benefit. Programming and animating the conditional splash probably didn't take more than a day; it's a new animation that plays under certain conditions. Draw some sprites, throw together the logic checking whether you dropped a corpse, and you're good. An equivalent feature in a game with the verisimilitude of recent AAA games would require multiple work-days of animation, modeling, texture work, foley, QA, and maybe other things I can't think of. That said, someone still chose to spend hours of their day on making an unlikely series of events look a little better. Even if it was made easier by the limits of their technology, their dedication is still impressive.

There were often patches even back then. They just weren't automatically applied for you. You weren't even automatically informed of them. You had to actively decide you had an issue with the game, and then go to the appropriate place to get the patch, and then jump through whatever hoops are required for installation. Starting around the mid-90s, the appropriate place was usually the website for the developer, before that an FTP or gopher for the developer, before that either a BBS, from a literal magazine (either one with a pack in disk or in the case of some C64 and Spectrum stuff, a list of commands to type in to patch it yourself) or from a disk you requested from the publisher to be sent to you by mail.

I still haven't finished the original video, I stopped watching when you said there would be spoilers ahead because I wanted to actually play the game for myself. I'm definitely glad I did because this game is great, I had so much fun streaming it to friends on Discord. The effort they put in that well is so cool, I have to do a second playthrough sometime. I didn't get 'super sleuth' on my first run but I did manage to discover all of the bodies on my first playthrough, I also found the entrance to the secret cellar but it's too dark to actually enter, so still missing something there I suppose. You likely mentioned it in the other video, but my favourite thing I discovered on my own is that you are able to try to "kiss" everyone in the game, including animals and corpses, and they all have unique reactions from Laura.

I posted it in the earlier video, but probably barely anyone saw it, since the video is old, I'll post it here again. I also added in a few things. SPOILERS This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but the ending doesn't sit with me right. I don't think we got the right killer. - an elementary element of writing is the Checkhov's gun. Don't show a gun in act one if you don't plan using it in act 3. Here: used literally. There are also red herrings, misleading clues. Roberta is too much of a good writer to make the killer character too unsympathetic and too obvious as a killer. Which she did with Rudy. Lillian was a twist, I admit. But Rudy? This might be a red herring. Plus the game insisted on suggesting another character is friendly, when we got hints it may not be so. I think Celie isn't as innocent as she is made out to be. - look at the connection between the jewelry in the dog house and the treasure in the crypt. The necklace could be a gift from the colonel, sure. But it may suggest she lost it walking around, killing people. Beauregard is a bloodhound. Did it smell blood on the necklace? You handed an incriminating piece of evidence right back to the culprit. - Celie is aware of you being a detective despite no one telling her you are. She's got sensing powers so she knew you would be trouble. She is hostile to you when you try to ask about her but readily points to others as likely do-no-gooders. - There is a suggestion the house/the spirits used the vices of people to kill each other. Since Lillian loved uncle so much, she would never hurt him. That's why she stopped being useful when only Rudy was left. - Lillian doesn't smoke cigars so the cigar in the secret passage makes no sense. - Likewise no sense makes Lillian dressing up as uncle. Sure she is crazy, but she loved him enough not to point to him as being the killer. - Celie had a motive. If the fortune was divided, and the parasite family would lose their wealth to debts and poor managing, sooner or later the property with her house on it would be lost. She couldn't afford losing her home. - The game outright suggests she is a possible killer by making her one of the owners of the fingerprint in the copyright protection. And then rams the fingerprint motif down your throat throughout the game. - the game suggests Celie hides in her house but she could be very well controlling the killer. This is where the checkhov's gun comes in. Roberta makes use of the voodoo trope (and I think possession?) in many games, but plays it down here. Like there is some mention of evil spirits but it is again played down and blamed on Lilly being crazy. - Notice the detail of hiding the Bible in the chapel? From whom would they hide it? From someone knowing voodoo, of course. - I think the game may be using a meta metaphor here. Celie controls people to get them killed, which is the same the player can do to get Laura killed. - The act of walking around at night aimlessly is strange enough. Can be explained by characters being controlled with voodoo. - The game uses Rudy's bad personality to make us think he is the culprit in the final struggle, but it's too obvious. Notice the colonel's empty, absent, zombie-like eyes in the scene after you kill Rudy to save the colonel. He is being controlled at that point. - it is suggested uncle was just acting his disability. But what if it was Celie's doing? His sudden walking could be attributed to him being a controlled zombie. - if uncle was controlled, it could explain why the bodies disappeared so quickly. Either they gained superhuman strength or there was another person to clean up the mess (hence the cigar in the passage and the cane he didn't need as a zombie). The act of Jeeves knowing exactly what and where to clean up the feathers is suspicious enough. I doubt Jeeves was working with Lillian to cover up her crimes, but it would make sense if Celie knew what to clean up. - I am also perplexed by the walled off basement. Could Lillian know about it? Celie aurely would, knowing she was most probably responsible for laundry. Sure, Lillian knew of the chutes but it may be because Celie told her to use them. - Colonel's walking could also explain the will and the doctor's panic. He might have been continuously poisoning uncle and panicked when uncle just stood up after taking a lethal dose. - why is the game so insistent on you befriending Celie? She knows you are no threat to her as a heir since you are the only one not inheriting money. But she is hostile to your snooping and prying into her matters. - There is a link between eating and being controlled. Eating Celie's cooking was the last thing Rudy did before going bonkers. Lillian was in the kitchen with Celie before the first murder, implying she ate something in the food before going psycho. You, I think, didn't eat after arrival, didn't eat with Lillian, and then refused to eat with Rudy. You also refused drinking with them on various occasions. - it is very sus Rudy revealed his plan of blaming Lillian for the murder of the colonel to the colonel. Why did he even attack without a weapon? Why on the attic? Did he go there to dress up as the colonel? And found the colonel using his old clothes? No, that makes no sense since the clothes were still on dead Lillian. Buuuut... a zombie wouldn't think about that. - the sudden knowledge of the colonel about Laura finding the treasure is sus. Like how did he know? Through some psychic powers? Laura didn't tell him, else he wouldn't mention he had his ways to find out. - Celie calmly rocking in her chair on her porch at night was terribly sus. Why wasn't she no longer afraid of being killed if her share was growing and the risk of her being next increased? - the "I leave everything to Celie" in the ending sounds like something she could be planning all along. Also I think the colonel was back in the chair, suggesting something controlled his bouts of regained agility. - the hidden Bible suggests the family was fleeing from the war, but what if it was not entirely the case? Maybe the slaughter of an entire family happened before? And only Celie survived it for some reason? Colonel would buy the property along with her. - Maybe Celie wasn't praying for safety in the chapel? Maybe she was controlling the killer(s) again? I don't remember if a murder happened at that time. - I am sus about the fact the family tried to institutionalise Lillian before. There was no will back then so why would they do that? Perhaps that was a thing that prevented Celie's plan from coming to fruitition earlier? - If you repeatedly look in the coffee pot in Celie's kitchen, you will notice the kettle is steadily emptied. If there was something to control people in it, it was likely also in there. - The shower kill at the very beginning makes no sense. If it was motivated by "family wanting to tear Lilly and uncle apart" it wouldn't be directed at Laura since she wasn't to that house before and barely knew the colonel. It would make sense if someone was controlled though. Sure, one could argue that it was scripted to happen any time and the fact they let it happen before any murders is an accident, but can we speak about accidents in a game so meticulous it even did mirror reflections or prevented an attic kill after looking at the clothes? - the "we are all going to die after midnight" coming from the only person who survives and even stays out in the open as if knowing the killer won't target her despite her getting richer with every kill, is just a way to move attention away from her. - The attic fight suggests Rudy was controlled and colonel was to die thus preventing the will from happening. Celie would then just hand Rudy to cops, being the only one alive. The change of plan to have him will everything to Celie was a last minute improvisation. If Rudy was so callous and calculating, why didn't he go kill Celie first? (And how did he end up in a locked attic unless someone told him how to get to it?) These are just things from the top of my head. What do you think?
