Responsibilities

I was the track owner of Death in the Family, having the overall creative responsibility from the mission's conceptualization to shipping. As such, my responsibilities were:

• Facilitating workshops and pitching the mission to game management
• Upholding the creative vision through all stages of development
• Aligning with game direction, production, and other departments
• Reviewing the work of other level designers on the mission
• Designing, implementing, and maintaining central parts of the mission, including the Mission Story Means, Motive and Opportunity in which the player is tasked with solving a murder mystery in the guise of a private investigator

Playthrough: Means, Motive and Opportunity

Since this Mission Story is all about exploration, I highly recommend playing it rather than watching a full playthrough. If you want an overview without playing it, however, here is an edited guide showing the key moments (spoilers):

Here are the different endings (spoilers):
