The Deed II (v1.1)

Paris in 1933 becomes the stage for a tightly wound revenge story where murder is only the beginning of the problem. Kenneth Miller has spent years carrying the scars of brutal treatment in an asylum, and an unexpected sighting of former orderly Frank Graceman offers a chance to settle an old debt. The Deed II is a compact, narrative-driven RPG mystery built around arranging a killing, hiding the evidence, and convincing the police that somebody else deserves the blame. Its tone is grim, personal, and deliberately uncomfortable, treating vengeance as a desperate choice rather than a heroic fantasy.

Most of the action revolves around observing the brothel, speaking with its occupants, learning their grudges, and deciding how Kenneth approaches the murder. Players search rooms for useful objects, select methods and timing, manipulate witnesses, and plant evidence that points investigators toward a chosen scapegoat. Once the crime is committed, the focus shifts to an interrogation in which earlier decisions, contradictions, and the quality of your setup determine whether Kenneth walks free. Multiple victims, murder methods, motives, and framing options give the short scenario genuine replay value, while failed attempts reveal just how many details can unravel a seemingly perfect plan.

Rather than asking players to solve a murder, it asks them to construct one under pressure, making it closer in spirit to a dark interactive detective story than a conventional combat-heavy RPG. The pixel-art presentation and focused setting keep attention on dialogue, deduction, and consequence, while the limited cast makes every conversation potentially useful. Choices are rarely clean: a convenient suspect may be innocent, an overlooked clue may expose Kenneth, and revenge may not feel as satisfying as expected. Fans of The Deed, Ace Attorney-style interrogations, and morally murky narrative games will find plenty to dissect, especially if they enjoy replaying a scenario to test new criminal strategies.
