Last Night at the Opera House

The Story

Samantha Diamond ( 鉆石) private investigator arrives at a Taiwanese Opera theatre, in an abandoned village, on top of an isolated mountain, at night. There is a violent storm preventing the authorities or outside help from accessing the location.

At the scene, Samantha meets you and 4 other people , she also discovers the dead body of a man who has been murdered, Mr T.

You are now one of five main suspects in a murder investigation.

Samantha has a look around and proceeds to interview you and the 4 other suspects. Separately.

During your individual interview you will find out about your relation with Mr T., your possible motive, as well as your alibi.

All 5 of you had good reasons to be angry at Mr T.

Anger, Greed, Delusion, Pride and Doubt are the 5 poisons of Buddhism. They are at the core of most Taiwan Opera plays.

One of these is also your main motive.

It turns out the 5 poisons of Buddhism are not different from the motivations that inspire most people to murder each other everywhere.
