Murder Mystery is based on the Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) game mode included in Garry's Mod.
About 25% of all players in a match are selected as Traitors at the start of each round. While the Traitors have to kill all innocent players, the Innocents have to figure out who's the Traitor and who's not, before the Traitors kill them. If an Innocent attacks another Innocent, the attacker will die, so make sure that you have enough evidence before you try to kill a potential Traitor.

Latest version: 1.6.9 (07/12/2020)

ROLES

Traitors are randomly selected at each start of a round (max. 25% of all players). They have to kill all innocent players to win, but since they are outnumbered, they must use the element of surprise and their special abilities to reach their target.

Abilities:

Stealth
Comms
Resurrect*
Super Jump
Improved Sprint

One player in each round is selected as a Hunter, if the stealth ability for Traitors is enabled. A Hunter is an Innocent too, but has a special passive ability to reveal nearby invisible Traitors. A Hunter can also deploy a dome to trap players (preferably Traitors) inside. If a Hunter dies, you can become the new Hunter by pressing the interact key (F) on the dead body (yellow orb) of the last hunter.)

Abilities:

CRIS (Close Range Infra-Sight)
Mobile Dome
Super Jump
Sprint

Innocents have to figure out who the Traitors are, before the Traitors kill them. Even if every other player looks suspicious, do not rush it but rather look out for burning bodies (which means that a Traitor killed them), players who act strangely (like following you all the time) or players which are still alive while other alive players are already confirmed as innocent. If you try to kill another innocent (as innocent), you will die and confirm the victim as innocent. Confirmed innocents have blue sparkles and are tagged as "Innocent". Innocents win if all Traitors are dead or the match time is running out.

Abilities:

Super Jump
Sprint
UAV (Purple Innocent only) *** *** ***
