In Hatey Murders Father and Marries Mother, you’ll be retelling the story of Oedipus, which needs you to get Hatey angry enough to kill his own dad, before then marrying his mum, something he will only do if you don’t reveal the familial connection until the final frame.ORDER NOW: Uncommon Goods | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Penguin Random House | Amazon While early levels can often be solved in your head, without dragging a single person or action into a frame, later on they demand considerable experimentation. At this point the game adds a number of new actions to join marriage and death, including kidnapping, execution, poisoning, and disguises. The characters themselves are also important and this includes specific roles, such as the detective, the queen, and the evil baron, who take a lot less encouragement than most to turn to a life of crime. Set someone up with a gun and reason to use it, and the stage is set for homicide. These can be in the form of illicit love affairs, or good old-fashioned murder. Witnessing things is also useful in the mini-stories involving crime. Instead, what you need to do is show a crime being committed against someone they already love, either through marriage or family. That last one is useful, because in a lot of the stories you’ll need to inspire one or more characters to murder and getting them in the mood to shove someone off a cliff involves more than jilting them at the altar, an event that tends to leave them sad rather than murderous. Given the odd number of protagonists, it also requires the revival of a corpse in the middle of the story.Įngendering emotion is vital, with each character capable of feeling normal, confused, heartbroken, or enraged. One, called Heartbreak for Everyone, wants all its three characters to suffer a calamitous event, in this case the death of a spouse and unrequited love. By the time you reach Chapter 3, stories are already taking place over six frames, and demand quite a bit more complexity in terms of your storytelling. Naturally things don’t stay quite that straightforward for long. There you move Adam onto the gravestone indicating that he’s resting in peace, while a heartbroken Eve stands next to it. Into the second frame, which is set up for a wedding, you drop both Adam and Eve, before completing the final frame, a grave site. To fulfil its brief but concise storyline you drag Adam into the first frame, his fig leaf demurely hiding his shame. Chapter 1 starts simply enough with a twist on the story of Adam and Eve, entitled Adam Starts Alone, Finds Love, and Dies Happy.
