The current gameplay is about eliminating what is considered truth. Which is good enough, but i think we can do better, maybe. So I propose adding "cluster hints".
Cluster Hints
Instead of "boolean hints" we use "cluster hints" that reduce the pool of possible answers but instead of reducing by one we reduce by many.
Some examples of "cluster hints" are hints about: murderer hair color or age, item noise, rooms close to a specific hint-giver.
Implementation
Characters has: sex, name, age, job, hair color.
Some characters give a hint that reduce the possible answers to a cluster of things
The characters can still give the usual hints and accusations, but some hints are a cluster hint.
