I hated this game and didn't even try to piece the story together. Way too many pixel hunts, glitches, arbitrary event flags, boring characters, clunky interfaces and other annoyances.

One: the answer is more complex than just choosing from the list of suspects at the end of the post. Two: I don't think we have enough information to figure out exactly what happened. In other words, there will probably be additional revelations about motives and relationships, without which the murders don't make sense. That said, I too like the Dmitry theory above. I just don't see why he would kill Hector and Suzanne too. Maybe they discovered that "Dick" wasn't Dick.Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326356159794723662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-45822072062105295982016-06-12T18:53:49.189+10:002016-06-12T18:53:49.189+10:00@Reiko

So yeah, he plays both parts, except the dead corpse of Niklos who will be played by Dick.<br /><br />@Torch<br />Yeah, I probably watched to much Poirot with David Sauchet and that is often the case. The surviving victim is the murderer or he/she was somebody else that tried to hide the identity... often to hide an earlier marriage so that an inheritance could get to them. I usually figures them out by recognising the most famous actor of the cast. Can be a bit tricky though when it comes to actor famous before the 80's or those who becomes famous later on.Niklashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994906056143612738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-15813979665498560302016-06-12T17:14:30.058+10:002016-06-12T17:14:30.058+10:00I like this theory.

How? After opening the compartment but BEFORE entering it - so, while you're still standing in Niklos's office, before you even know there's a threat in the compartment - you "throw" the soap. Yep, the soap from the ship's bathroom, that Raoul could "throw" in Niklos's office to no apparent effect. When you do that with the compartment open, Raoul slides it along the floor into the compartment; and when you enter, the hitman is already knocked out, apparently having slipped on it. <br /><br />Guess you could say Raoul...<br /><br />(dons shades)<br /><br />...really cleaned his clock.<br /><br />YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHVoltglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893726442063421240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-62346479824915369442016-06-12T09:49:56.528+10:002016-06-12T09:49:56.528+10:00Does that mean that Dimitry was playing both parts...Does that mean that Dimitry was playing both parts, and Raoul never met the real Dick?Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326356159794723662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-3893505231236693932016-06-12T08:17:41.480+10:002016-06-12T08:17:41.480+10:00Well, beginning to read I started to think that ma...Well, beginning to read I started to think that maybe Niklos still was alive, and then the game pretty much says it. Although I suspect that Niklos actually was killed long before the game started and usurped by "Dimitry Ostrovich" who seems to be at least some kind of actor due to the dressing room. So basically someone we know nothing about and is introduced in the last second as a twist. And as a final note I would say Dick Smock was the first victim so that "Dimitry" could usurp his fortune instead since Niklos fortune was run dry, which would explain why "Niklos/Dimitry" was so keen on having him onboard. So as of now "Dick/Niklos/Dimitry Ostriovich" is the murderer... if that makes any sense.Niklashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994906056143612738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-24472030504246765952016-06-12T05:16:32.071+10:002016-06-12T05:16:32.071+10:00Julio has no apparent motive?
