This is part of an ongoing playthrough of Ciconia no Naku Koro ni. Be sure to check the playlist for the rest! 07th Expansion has requested playthroughs do not go past Chapter 7 so content past that point will be discussion only for the foreseeable future. Please encourage other video producers to respect this request as well.
We discuss chapters 14-17 of Alex Pavesi's innovative 2020 metafiction 'Eight Detectives'. The White Murders are over, or are they? In their final conversations, Grant and Julia unveil the secrets still held, both of their own, and within the pages of The White Murders. Herds' solution may have been dense and wonderful, but we break down the weird tricks that make it harder than usual to unravel this mystery. Alex's deft expertise and particular flavour of mystery shine as 'Eight Detectives' comes to an end.

We discuss Parts 3 & a portion of part 4, Chapters 16-24 of Jim Noy from The Invisible Event's 2022 debut murder mystery, 'The Red Death Murders'. Prince Prospero has died, poisoned by a cup Thomas last touched himself. The explanations are few, and the prime suspects fewer. How can one thirteen-year-old boy cope with the pressure as rumours abound that his life is about to take a turn greater than he ever could have predicted? Jim Noy has left Herds with a dastardly list of questions, but will he have the power to unravel them all?

As we continue the numerically-challenged portion of our playthrough, we get introduced to a nifty new rule in the game. I'm sure this one will play a small role as the story continues on the same path with no deviations.
If you're confused, Ben is the one who knows what's going on, Felix is the one who is lost.

We discuss up to the incomplete end of Lucas Pope's modern classic mystery game 'Return of the Obra Dinn'. The highest body-count we've ever encountered is a vast challenge as Herds takes the wheel for our second step into interactive fiction. After the titular ship appears, unmanned, off the coast of Falmouth in the UK, you're sent on as an insurance assessor to find out why the good ship never made it around the tip of Africa, and how it got back with no souls onboard. With a magical pocketwatch, you're here to solve the death of every single one of the sixty people on board when the ship departed.
We're also joined by B. Michael Radburn to talk about his latest novel 'The Reach', blending the supernatural with crime fiction, and the masks we put on our monsters in horror fiction. Thanks to regular co-conspirator Sean Britten for joining us with some great monster-related queries.

We discuss chapters 33-41 of Benjamin Stevenson's phenomenal 2022 metafictional mystery, 'Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone'. What would a murder mystery be without a bizarre detour right before the explanation. A jaunt with heavy machinery over to a party at another nearby lodge introduces us to a distraught couple it seems were being blackmailed by one of the Cunninghams, but why? Ern has to piece together the scraps of this mystery on his feet as Chekov's innumerable guns all collide in a scorching finale.
We're also joined by Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip, the minds behind Michael Stanley and their latest novel 'A Deadly Covenant', to talk about the second prequel in the adventures of their Detective Kubu, and the tumultuous boundaries between cultures that inspired it.
Thank you to Penguin Australia for providing copies of 'Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone', and to Michael Stanley for copies of 'A Deadly Covenant'.
