A Couple of Questions by Brian Corr
A Couple of Questions is a Murder Mystery set entirely within an interrogation room.
Bill Hamilton has been murdered: Whodunit? His jealous twin brother? His on-off girlfriend?YOU must interrogate them to find out.
This is essentially a 'minimalist adventure game': one room, no items. All you can do is observe, and ask. Can you crack the case?
HOW TO PLAY:
Navigate the menus to look at the evidence. Interrogate the suspects, but watch their reactions! They might not be in the mood to answer you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get all the voices done, so I've voiced only the 'key' lines.
HINTS (INCLUDES SPOILERS):
- you can unlock the ability to interview Greg by talking to zac or Francine about art while they are in a good mood. Flatter them and press them about art.
- when talking to Greg, make him happy and ask about Bill. He willmention that he doesn't like football. He may mention that he loses his temper if you ask him about football when he's mad... so do it. Make him mad and then ask about football.
WALKTHROUGH (only one example: there are many paths)
- Talk to Zac
- Ask him about himself, and ask about his web presence.
- Ask about bill's hobbies.
- Ask about art.
- Ask about Mr San Pietro. Zac will mention that their relationship was 'weird'.
- Leave
- Talk to Greg
- Tell him you're not accusing him of anything, etc. Until he is smiling.
- Ask about Bill 'after hours'.
- Press him about his relationship until he gets mad.
- Ask about Football.

"Oh my, god. That is SO gross! Creeper." haha lol.
5/5 humour pal! :)
There's not voice acting for all the lines, maybe about 1/3 of them. I'm guessing that is just how much you were able to get done?
Also, I'm pretty much stuck. I've been through all the options in both mood levels for Zac, Francine and San Piedro. I've even got San Piedro to threaten to kill me - but I don't seem to be able to go anywhere from there.
I have added hints and a walkthrough to the description. As it stands I do not believe there is a way to get completely stuck, but it's possible. If you have unlocked Greg then you can definitely win from there.
Yes, my fault, didn't realise that Greg had an even happier state to aim for.
