Why Replay Works

First runs teach atmosphere; second runs teach structure. You already know who feels guilty — now test access paths you ignored. Restart clears chat but your brain keeps questioning templates.

Study the Rubric

After submission, read which categories scored low. A replay targeting only method or timeline often jumps twenty points without needing the full story unlock.

Speedrun vs Deep Run

Speedrun: open with directed timeline questions, search all rooms once, organize twice, accuse. Deep run: roleplay every suspect for flavor — pick one mode per replay for measurable improvement.
