It's fixed! Thank you so much I really appreciate you taking the time to do this! It's a great game so I'm very excited to be able to enjoy it at it's best again.

I've just started playing again because semester 2 at uni has started and this is my go-to game for study breaks and there's no way it's RNG. The murderer is always the left most name on the mind map which is also the first name on the list when you make an accusation. The murder weapon and location is always the top left of their respective grids on the mind map. The only thing that appears to be randomizing is the motivation. 

oh wow sorry I'm late with the reply! Maybe it is just RNG but I swear it happens pretty often on my end. I usually play with 5 or 6 suspects. Honestly thanks for the reply and checking out the issue, even if it's actually non-existent lol.

This is such an awesome game! It's such a great idea and very well executed. It is actually probably my favourite game I've discovered on this platform.

* if you don't want the game ruined for you please stop reading now! *

I have played it enough to notice the pattern that tells you exactly who the killer is, their location at the time of the murder and their weapon, so that all you need to figure out is their motive. 

The killer is almost always the left most suspect on the mind map, and their weapon and location is almost always the top left box of their respective sections on the mind map. Additionally, when you make an accusation, the killer, weapon and location is almost always the top of the list. 

Even knowing this, it's still super fun to fill in the mind map and find all the clues. I Love games that change every time you play, it's one of the reasons I love this game, but this consistent pattern kind of detracts from that.
