Editor Reference

Write your own mystery for Whispers in the West

Editing a case - Days

The Days tab is where you build the core of your mystery—crafting the progression of the investigation, setting objectives, defining solutions, and managing the scenes players will explore.

Each mystery is structured by days, and we will define an objective, a solution, and scenes that the players can explore for each day.

Objective

This is the main question or goal the player must solve for the current day.

Solution

The solution is used to determine whether the players find the correct answer to the question of the day.


Clicking the Edit button under the "Solution" section will open the Edit Solution panel. In this panel, you can define the correct answer to the day’s objective:


First, select whether the answer is a character or an item by using the radio buttons at the top.



Click Confirm to save your choice and close the panel.

This correct answer will be used to determine whether players have successfully solved the day’s mystery.

Scenes

Scenes are locations where dialogue and interactions occur during this day.Each location added here will be accessible to players during gameplay.
