You decide to search the dining car for any other potential clues. As you carefully examine the area, you notice a half-empty glass of wine on a nearby table. The glass is smeared with lipstick, indicating that someone had been drinking from it. You also spot a crumpled note tucked under one of the plates. It reads, "Meet me in the last compartment at midnight - A."

What would you like to do next?

1. Show the note to the other passengers and inquire if anyone knows who "A" might be.

2. Inspect the wine glass for fingerprints and ask the staff if they remember who was sitting at the table.

3. Proceed to the last compartment and investigate further.

You decide to show the note to the other passengers and inquire if anyone knows who "A" might be. As you approach the group, you notice a woman with a nervous expression. She glances at the note and quickly averts her gaze.

"I... I don't know who 'A' is," she stammers, avoiding eye contact. "I haven't seen that note before."

The other passengers shake their heads in confusion, denying any knowledge of the mysterious "A." However, you notice a slight tremor in the woman's hands, suggesting that she may be hiding something.

What would you like to do next?

1. Press the woman for more information, sensing her unease.

2. Ask the other passengers if they noticed anything suspicious about the woman.

3. Continue your investigation elsewhere, keeping the note in mind for future reference.

You decide to press the woman for more information, sensing her unease. With a firm yet gentle tone, you ask her, "Are you sure you don't know anything about this note? Your reaction suggests otherwise."

The woman hesitates for a moment, then finally confesses, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. I did receive a note, but I didn't think it was important. It was from my secret lover, André. He asked me to meet him in the last compartment at midnight."

Her admission raises suspicions, as the note you found earlier mentioned meeting someone in the last compartment at midnight. It seems that this woman, with her secret lover, may have some connection to the crime.

What would you like to do next?

1. Ask the woman for more details about her relationship with André.

2. Investigate the last compartment immediately to see if André is there.

3. Question the other passengers if they have seen André on the train.

You decide to investigate the last compartment immediately to see if André is there. With a sense of urgency, you make your way through the train, passing through several compartments until you reach the last one. As you open the door, you find it empty and dimly lit.

However, as you step inside, you hear a faint noise coming from behind a curtain. You cautiously pull it aside and discover André, the woman's secret lover, tied up and gagged. He looks relieved to see you.

Before you can untie him, a masked figure emerges from the shadows, brandishing a knife. "You've come too far, detective," the figure hisses. "Now, you must pay the price for meddling in affairs that don't concern you."

What would you like to do next?

1. Attempt to disarm the masked figure and defend yourself.

2. Try to reason with the masked figure, appealing to their sense of justice.

3. Make a quick escape through the nearest exit, leaving André behind for now.

You quickly assess the situation and decide to attempt to disarm the masked figure and defend yourself. With a swift movement, you lunge towards the figure, aiming to knock the knife out of their hand. However, the figure proves to be agile and skilled, dodging your attack effortlessly.

In a swift countermove, the masked figure retaliates, slashing the knife towards you. You manage to evade the worst of the blow, but not without sustaining a deep cut on your arm. The pain is intense, but you refuse to give up.

What would you like to do next?

1. Launch another attack, determined to overpower the masked figure.

2. Use your surroundings to your advantage, looking for an object to defend yourself with.

3. Retreat and reassess the situation, seeking a different approach.

You gather your strength and launch another attack, fueled by determination to overpower the masked figure. With a calculated strike, you aim for their wrist, attempting to disarm them and gain control of the situation. However, the figure proves to be a formidable opponent, skillfully parrying your attack and countering with a swift kick to your chest.

The force of the blow sends you sprawling backward, gasping for breath. The masked figure stands over you, their knife poised for a final strike. It seems that your efforts to solve the murder mystery have come to a tragic end.

GAME OVER.
