Death in the Guildhall of Virtuosity

This is not a game. It is a seed (or idea) submitted for SeedComp! 2024 stage 1. Stage 1 is the 'Planting Round', where people submit seeds for games. Stage 2 is the 'Sprouting Round', where people turn those seeds into real games.

In this seed, you must write a piece of interactive fiction (Who-done-it style mystery) where you are a member of a guildhall of superheroes, and your leader (thought to be invincible) has died under suspicious circumstances. Download the text file for full details (genre typical content warning).

I imagined this seed to be used for a text adventure (also known as parser-based interactive fiction), but if you'd prefer to write something else, such as choice-based interactive fiction, feel free to do so. I am placing this in the public domain to inspire others, so do with it as you will.
