Hello
1. Click close in the upper right of subtitles to skip all, speeding up gameplay for all.

2. Secret doors still block LOS between rooms when opened, like walls. Rooms remain the same and you have to be inside the same room to be a witness.

3. Moriarty can sprint a pawn without ailments at any time.

4. Pawns can only hold 1 medicine at a time. Never worry about filling both of their spots with medicine, it's impossible.

Bonus:

5. Directly spraying a pawn with tear gas and trapping a secret door are both mentioned in passing, but do not seem to be possible. Pawns take damage if they the end turn in gas, and secret doors only allow movement between rooms.

Gameplay tips bonus:

Basic Sherlock tips:
* (4 player mode) Communicate with your team as much as possible, its how you figure out who is playing as Moriarity.
* Beware of being fooled in the last turn when its a vote tiebreaker. If someone stalked target 99% of the game, they were probably the killer. Moriarity+Irene votes will show up so they can mislead you but do not count. The killer needs to be voted by Sherlocks(not sure how many in multi-sherlock games, but I've confirmed 1 sherlock vote isn't enough in 4 player mode with 3 sherlocks)
F.A.Q. or how does overnight Sherlock Deduction work?
The game explains this, but it can be misunderstood.
Linking to some threads I've posted in which discuss it.
This way there are multiple explanations from different people, including me, that are all correct and should clear it up.

How does final voting work?
In 2v2 (4 players with Irene)
As Sherlock it told me the killer was unmasked and I won.

However from this forum post, it is said in the same situation that it is a draw for an Irene player and not a loss. So that means it is possible for 3 players to draw and 1 to win in the same situation, assuming it was a draw for the other 2.

From further experience, Moriarity and Irene gets a draw if only ONE Sherlock votes correctly. They both have to vote correctly to make M+I lose.



In 1v3(3 Sherlocks)

I have voted the correct villain and lost=draw because nobody else did. So at least 2 Sherlocks need to vote the correct villain. I suspect this is because Sherlock side gets 3 votes here instead of 2 each.
Unknown stuff related to food timing
I'll add if I discover anything related to manual feeding here. E.g. when they next get hungry, how many hunger afflictions are removed, etc.

For now:
It seems that if you feed a pawn with 2 critical hunger afflictions at night, the next day they'll be hungry. Effectively losing 2 hunger for 1 food. Note that this is the same result a hungry pawn gets anyway if they auto eat food, they'll be restored to full next day(lose 1 hunger and negate 1 hunger), which is efficent food usage.


Assail and night-time.
If you assail at night-time it will skip the day switch, which means skipping the hunger phase. This is confirmed on forum a few times and I checked myself. If the killer is discovered at night-time or whatever triggers Final Turn it should be the same thing.
Bugs (or not).
If you are host and you can't start the match after a game, it simply means one of the players is still on the after match score screen and you have to wait.

You're not bad I'm pretty sure the other Moriarty player is better than me too, I can't always keep up with the Final Turn requirements, so sometimes I accidentally make it Final Turn doing something that exposes the killer early which is where my losses that could probably be draws. I don't play Moriarty as well now since it's difficult against current Sherlock meta, everyone is an expert at keeping the killer far from victim as long as they find food, which is mostly RNG, and when the only moves you can make are obvious ones, its harder to get a draw too.

Yeah a "draw" for Sherlock is fine since he can turn it into a win by guessing the killer correctly.

Also man you guys have fewer TOTAL losses than my recent bad streak with Moriarty I'm MAD and BAD apparently

I've known about playing to the draw but it's so damn boring. It's good if Sherlock decides to throw your killer to the far corner of the mansion as his opening play and you can't possibly get him back into play without being incredibly obvious about it but beyond that it feels like playing a weaker game, especially since right now no Sherlock plays aggressively to try to avoid a draw.

Mori pretty strong until Sherlock get more experience. Here's another early Moriarty player.

On that note, if you are careful with Mori, in unwinnable situation you can try to go for more draws than losses. Going all out, can result in unnecessary losses. I didn't think about that at first so I always went all in win-or-lose with Moriarty.

Only like 11 losses wtf

I've checked on the latest version 1.3.4. and the killer can Assail when Hungry, they just need to be within 2 tiles of the target, and have a weapon equipped.
David  [author] 18 Apr, 2022 @ 11:52am 
Could be a bug or tile misclick because the killer can assail when hungry, he just can't sprint, so it has to be within 2 tiles. Which is kind of harsh, I wish the killer could always Assail.

That second thing is interesting. One time I sprinted the target and I swear she was not Fatigued after that and I couldn't figure out why, but maybe it was because it was the Final Turn. I moved a different pawn.

Thanks, I want to add these.
- You can't use attack command when killer is hungry.
< I found this my last game not sure if it's not just a bug.

- Time doesn't progress if killer is found at foresight section. Hunger stays same as the night before foresight.
< Even though foresight is after the night passes, hunger doesn't change if the game enters "killer found -> last round" mode after it.
