Wolf Play : The Dead Dont Speak | Murder Mystery/Slice of Life

In a village once known for its tranquility, everything changes after a murder. This small, peaceful place, perfect for anyone looking for a break from the chaos of the world, was home to humans and supernatural creatures alike. The biomes, including a beach, a forest, and mountains, were all connected by a portal, and it had always been a place where humans and non-humans coexisted, even with some lingering old grudges. But when a human is found murdered, and the killer seems to be something other than human, the village goes into lockdown. Those who were near the crime, who fit certain descriptions, or who could be involved in any way are gathered together as suspects. They're moved into one of three large houses, each with four bedrooms and bathrooms, and told little more than they’re required to stay there while the investigation continues. Nobody knows the exact reason they’re there, just that they’re somehow connected to what happened.

As the investigation continues, things get worse. Every time a new murder occurs, more restrictions are placed on the village. The portal, once used freely to travel between biomes, are now monitored closely. Escaping becomes harder with each passing day, and while suspects are still allowed to move around, the surveillance never fades. The group is constantly under watch, but at least they’re not locked away completely.

The investigators, who are a mix of humans and supernaturals, are watching over the group, but one of them has been placed in with the suspects. This investigator, a human, has no idea why they’re there. They were only told about their job just before being thrown into the mix. They’re supposed to figure out who the killer is, but they’re in the dark just like everyone else. Meanwhile, the killer (who will be chosen once enough people are involved) decides the first murder. The first victim will be an NPC, but how they’re killed is entirely up to the killer. The killer can also choose up to two accomplices, and those they choose will have to be careful in deciding who to trust.

As the murders continue, relationships form and fall apart. Some people might turn on each other, while others might find ways to work together. The killer could gain support from the group, or they might be betrayed. The investigator, pretending to be just another suspect, might be pushed to the edge, unable to trust anyone around them. Everyone is hiding something, and the truth of who’s innocent and who’s not gets harder to figure out.
