Wow! What an amazing system for creating a whodunnit. I love the whole setup, the boon and bane are both interesting. I really like the mottos for each family too. And I love the thought of someone roleplaying the devil as someone who’s maliciously compliant haha.

LOVED the weakness table for the family!

This is fantastic. Excellent map, super usable, and really feels like a Devil pact adventure, which I think is really hard to pull off. Awesome work.

I really love ease of flow of this design.  This is clean without giving up on vibe.  I am inspired by your character profiles and will look to incorporate something similar in my revision of my entry and future endeavors.  Well done, truly!

Also, wanted to add that the character profiles make for great tokens, which, of all things can really slow down the flow of a game to find as a storyteller.  These make great resources for those.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback. As someone with ADHD, I am driven by visual cues that can help a reader (including myself) quickly understand the text.

The tokens are mostly from Ink Potion Studios, it's worth becoming their highest tier Patreon at least for a month to get some nice assets.

Love the simple to read layout, and the Family relationship table and RP guidance. a super fun looking scenario.
