There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

``` Entering the world of the Scripted Murder Game isn't scary. Playing the role of the murderer is still doable. Playing the role of the victim is fine. Playing the role of a girl is manageable. Even if you have to deal with dark, strange monsters, and accidentally get tainted by them, it's no big deal. Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】 【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】 【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```

Well, strange noises heard by witnesses are good clues. Imagine in a spooky old mansion mystery, a witness hears a creaking sound every night at the same time from a supposedly empty room. It could lead to the discovery of a hidden passage or some secret activity. Another good clue is an unusual item found in a suspect's possession, like a rare coin that has a connection to the victim or the crime scene.

Clues are vital. They engage the reader's mind, making the reader feel like a detective too. They can be physical items, statements made by characters, or even the setting itself. In Agatha Christie's works, she often plants subtle clues that are easy to overlook at first but become crucial as the story unfolds. If there were no clues, the plot would lack direction and the mystery genre would lose its charm.
