Nearing the end of my first playthrough and thoroughly enjoying myself. Hoping to get eyes on a mystery figure who seems to connect everyone together (but has only visited people and never checked in) and a corrupt cop just threatened to pin the murder on me if I didn't start playing things his way.  I get the feeling I might just try and pin this on someone to get the heat off!

Let me know if you get away with it! 

Probably the worst possible outcome!  I purposefully framed someone because I thought she deserved it and then ... It turned out she was the murderer, but everything I thought she had done had been done by the murder victim. Then the motel closed and I vanished ....

As a question, do the motive values have any impact on the end game or are they just there to guide the storytelling?

The Motive value just signals when you've compiled enough evidence (or "evidence") to finally point the finger at a Guest. In the fiction, it's when you've got enough to potentially put someone away. In the numbers, it just guarantees play will go on long enough to introduce complications.
