Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】 【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】 【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```

Well, first of all, the epistolary part means it's often told through letters, emails, or other forms of written communication. In a science - fiction context, this could be transmissions between spaceships or messages from the future. The mystery aspect usually involves some sort of unknown, like a missing technology, a strange alien phenomenon, or a hidden conspiracy. For example, in a story, a scientist might receive mysterious encrypted messages from an unknown source in space. The science - fiction setting allows for unique elements like advanced alien races, time travel, or new forms of energy that add to the mystery.

Well, when a novel is written in an epistolary style, the reader is sort of eavesdropping on the characters' written communication. This creates a sense of intimacy and yet distance at the same time. In mystery novels like 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses', the letters are used to conceal as much as they are to reveal. The characters' true intentions are often masked, and the reader has to dig deep into the subtext of the letters to figure out what's really going on. It's like being a detective sifting through evidence, and the epistolary form makes the mystery all the more engaging.
