Afterword
~Message from the Author~
Thank you so much for playing this Murder Mystery.
In this afterword, I want to express my thoughts on this piece and my requests to all those who have played till the end.
For those who have little time to spare, you might want to read only the request part below.
[My thought on this piece]
I'm writing this with the assumption that you had played the second chapter and reached the ending where you used Memory Wipe.
First off, I want to say that I made this as a Murder Mystery game,
but as you may have known, it has a bit of different air to it.
Of course, it's a game of whodunnit, just like how the usual Murder Mystery game actually is. But on the other hand, the players will need to deduce how to kill Eida too. In that essence, I was trying to express a "Murder Mystery" differ from its original meaning.
That is why I separated the story into two chapters;
chapter one is where you need to deduce who is truly the one who had killed Eida,
while chapter two is where you need to deduce how to kill Eida, who should have breathed his last.
I also tried to challenge a few stuff in this piece.
By taking advantage of how websites work, I tried to show parts that are impossible to show mid-session if I made this piece in how a normal Murder Mystery game is supposed to be made.
One of them is how everyone can smoothly proceed and read the victim's character sheet.
I'm planning to add more additional information for this scenario,
but due to its length, I must postpone it and post it here another day.
Do check this page again in the future from time to time.
My request to everyone
Please never post any spoilers of this scenario.
But tweets/posts and reviews of your emotions such as "It was great", "It moved my heart", "I cried", "It made me laugh", etc. are okay.
When you post your impressions, please do not use words that might even give a slight hint to what's going to happen in the story. I want as many people as possible to play this game and experience it first-hand.
I'll always welcome your thoughts about the scenario and look forward to reading them.
If you can share your impression using #マダミスエイダ and/or #いとはき on Twitter (X), I would be very happy.
Each and all of your tweets will motivate me to make another piece.
I would be very happy if you could follow me on Twitter (X) too:

I originally intended to make this scenario a paid one in the form of PDF. But later on, I realized that to make it work even without a GM, this method is far more effective so I decided to make this a free scenario.
In the future, I'm planning to make a system where you can send your support monetarily, so if you like this piece for even a little bit, I would appreciate it if you could show your support by donating.
As of now, I'm planning to make this the last of my work to be made free, but if it manages to gather enough funds, I may consider making my next works free as well. I would very much appreciate your kind support.
