detective story

In this world every citizen has some sort of power that makes them unique. Be it flight, fire-breath, or even the ability to turn into a monkey, this world is filled with many wonderous abilities. You are nearing your fifth year as a private detective. You have the power to see the past state of an area up to 12 hours in the past. You are in a taxi on your way to your newest assignment. Today you are going to the Metropoliton Aquarium. A severed human arm was found in the coral tank by one of the employees early this morning. The director of the aquarium hired you to try to get to the bottom of this. [[Arrive at the Scene]]

You enter the coral exhibit. You can see a bunch of officers standing in front of one of the tanks. If not for their presence it would almost seem like it was just a normal day at the aquarium. There seems to be a few points of interest. [[Talk to Officers in front of tank]] [[Investigate the surroundings]]

You arrive outside the aquarium. It looks like a few officers are still here from when the employee called them this morning. [[Talk to Officers]] [[Go Inside]]

You walk up to the officer who seems to be the leader of sorts. He seems to be your run of the mill cop. The only abnormal thing about him is that he sports a very large handlebar moustache. (text-colour:yellow)["What do you want" ] [[I was wondering if I could ask you about the investigation]]

You enter the aquarium entranceway. There you see a ticket booth that has a bored looking employee in it. As you move towards the booth the employee looks up. (text-colour:yellow)["What do you want. I have already told the cops everything I know" ] [[Ask about the case]] [[Ask where the crime scene is located]]

(text-colour:yellow)["Huh? Why would I talk to you?" ] [["I am also investigating this case"]] [[Because I'm me]]

(text-colour:yellow)["I am done talking about this case, if you want to learn about the case go ask one of the dozens of cops I told everything to,"] While saying this she has a very annoyed look on her face. It seems like she has been questioned quite a lot. [[Ask where the crime scene is located]]

(text-colour:yellow)["down the hall and to the left. You can't miss it!" ] (text-colour:white)["Okay Thanks!" ] I should probably think about heading over there soon. [[Head to crime scene]]

You approach one of the officers standing in front of the tank. It seems like they have been standing on guard for a while because they look rather bored. [["Why are you standing here?"]] [[Ignore him]]

You look around to get more a detailed view of your surroundings. You see three different tanks each with different coral environments located inside. The one the officers are standing in front of the tank that is labeled the soft coral tank. When you glance at the other tanks you can tell there is nothing of importance at the moment. [[Examine soft coral tank]] [[Talk to Officers in front of tank]]

(text-colour:yellow)["I'm supposed to be guarding the crime scene from unwanted guests." ] (text-colour:cyan)[(Oh wow it doesn't seem like this guy wants to talk. Maybe I should go do something else.) ] [[Investigate the surroundings]]

You take a closer look at the soft coral tank. You can now see that the water has been drained and that all the coral has been moved someplace else. One of the officers sees the confused look you give. (text-colour:yellow)["The aquarium owner drained out this tank to keep the coral safe from any diseases that could of spread from the arm they found in it"] The officer seems to be annoyed about this turn of events. [["What seems to be the matter"]] [[Think to self]]

(text-colour:yellow)["That aquarium owner is one stubborn lady... She wouldn't budge when the boss told her not to drain the tank until after we examined the scene more."] (text-colour:cyan)[(Hmmm... That's interesting I should make sure to speak to the owner later...)] [[Think to self]]

(text-colour:cyan)[(Hmmm. Maybe I should go back to how the crime scene was 12 hours ago and see if I can gain any clues from that...) ] [[Go to the past]]

The room around you suddenly changes back to the state it was in 12 hours ago. The main lights in the room appear to be off but you can see that the soft coral tank is now filled from the light of the tank. The other tanks seem to be in the same state they will be in in the future. [[Investigate the soft coral tank]] [[Examine the floor]]

You ignore the officer. (text-colour:cyan)[(Huh? Why did I even come over here?) ][[Examine soft coral tank]] [[Talk to Officers in front of tank]]

When you get a closer look at the tank you can see that the water near the top is dyed red. (text-colour:cyan)[(Well that's different... but I don't see the arm that's odd...)] [[Get a closer look at the tank]]

When you look at the floor you can see a few puddles. They are small, about the size of a hockey puck. (text-colour:cyan)[(Those weren't there in the future someone must of cleaned them up)] You also notice a T-shirt hidden in one of the corners of the room. [[Examine T-shirt]] [[Investigate the soft coral tank]]

(text-colour:yellow)["Oh, you must be that investigator the owner told me about." ]The officer seems to do a complete tonal flip now that he knows who you are. (text-colour:yellow)["You must be wondering how the investigations going... Well I am not gonna tell you!" ] [["Why not?"]] [["What?"]]

(text-colour:yellow)["What's that supposed to mean? I don't care who you are." ] The officer looks annoyed. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to be funny. [["I am also investigating this case"]]

The officer looks at you with a very smug look. (text-colour:yellow)["I feel like you should figure this out yourself. You're getting paid much more than I am."] (text-colour:cyan)[(text-colour:cyan)[(Wow this guy is kind of a nutcase....)] ] [[Can you at least tell me where the crime scene is?]]

(text-colour:yellow)["I said I am not giving you more information is that so hard to understand. Is the fancy private eye not used to being told no?" (text-colour:cyan)[](Wow this guy is one tough customer.)] [[Can you at least tell me where the crime scene is?]]

(text-colour:yellow)["It is down the hall and to the left. Only an idiot could miss it!" ](text-colour:cyan)[(did he really have to add that last part..?) ] [[Head to crime scene]]

When you look more at the tank itself you can see that someone seems to have wrote something in marker on the tank. It seems to say "Piscem natare doces" (text-colour:cyan)[(Huh I wonder why someone erased this. What could this mean, it seems to be in latin... Maybe I should an expert about this. )] [[I should examine the floor now]]

When you look at the floor you can see a few puddles. They are small, about the size of a hockey puck. (text-colour:cyan)[(Those weren't there in the future someone must of cleaned them up)] (text-colour:cyan)[(It seems like I have investigated all I can in the past, I should head back.) ] [[Head back to the future]]

When you arrive back in the present you are greeted with the same scene you had just left. Nothing is out of place and everything is how you left it. It doesn't seem like there is any more notably pieces of evidence to be found here. This is the current end of the prototype. If this were to be a full game there would be mutiple endings you would be able to get depending on the choices you made. In each ending you would get a new piece of clothing that would be added to your inventory. Once you collect all the clothing you would unlock the path to the true ending and finally stop the killer for good.

Chainsaw ending After turning around the corner the shark costumed person seems to have disappeared. (text-colour:cyan)[(Huh? Where did they go. There's no where they could of escaped to...) ] Suddenly a creacking noise can be heard. It seems to be coming from behind you. You quickly turn around but nothing seems to be there. You start to hear a brrring behind you. You are hit with a great pain in your arm. When you look at the arm you see that your arm is gone. Blood spurts out of the place your arm once was. Through the pain you look around and now see the shark costumed person is standing above you holding a chainsaw. They continue to stand there not saying a word. In this ending you find the shoes that the killer left.

When you examine the T-shirt you can see that it is blue with a cutesy shark design on the front. It looks like a size medium but you cannot know for sure because the tag seems to have been ripped off. (text-colour:lime)[T-Shirt has been added to your inventory ][[Investigate the soft coral tank]]

Boardwalk ending You arrive at the boardwalk. In this ending you find the hat that the murderer left.

True ending In this ending you are able to figure out the murderer by connecting the path they ran in previous paths. You have officers set up at each piece of clothing that you found while you confront the murderer.

Rooftop ending you find the murderers pants in this ending.

Tunnel ending You arrive in the undersea tunnel. It seems pretty run down, it doesn't seem like this tunnel has seen much use in the past 10 years. you find the underwear in this ending. its like those goofy heart ones.
