About The Deed: Dynasty
The Deed is a game in which you must commit a murder and then, through a process of making the right choices and planting the appropriate evidence, convince the authorities of your innocence and somebody else's guilt. The stand-alone expansion Dynasty offers three new scenarios based on this original concept.
Taking place in three different eras, each of these new scenarios allows you to explore the sordid ancestry of the Bruce family as you take control of a character who aims to commit a murder and escape free of suspicion by framing one of the other characters in the game. You will explore a 15th century English castle and a wild west frontier saloon, before finally returning to Dunshiel House fifty years prior to the events of the original game.
Just as in The Deed, every decision you make can influence the outcome and lead to one of many possible endings, which are even more varied and numerous this time. There are many ways to do the deed, multiple pieces of evidence to use to your advantage and a wide selection of characters to frame for your crime.

- Explore the Setting
This expansion aims to provide richer and more varied environments which immerse the player in the various historical time periods of the game, whether it's Medieval England under the reign of Henry IV, a violent frontier town in the Old West or a grand old estate in the Victorian era. - Meet the Characters
Each scenario contains a number of non-player characters, some of whom are based on real historical figures, and almost all of whom can be framed for the murder. The conversation system has been developed and improved, offering a greater amount of control for the player and more branching options which will lead to a more unique experience every time. - Choose the Murder Weapon
Choose from various murder weapons appropriate to the time period in which you find yourself, whether it's a medieval greatsword, a pair of household scissors or a good old-fashioned six-shooter. Figure out which method of murder is likely to point towards a character other than yourself. - Plant the Evidence
Items of evidence can be used in multiple ways to raise the suspicion of the authorities. Think carefully about which piece of evidence could be used to frame which characters, depending on where you plant it. - Face the Authorities
There's no question that the stakes are higher this time. Life in prison is one thing - but what about finding yourself on the headsman's block or strung up at the gallows for a grisly public execution?
Life could be brutal in the olden times, and so could the death of a convicted criminal. Can you manage to do the deed while also avoiding such a terrible fate?

I tried to kill my victim using bare fists. No idea he was stronger than me. Now I know. 10/10.18 found this helpful
friend bought me this from a random key thing no comment
Good concept, but far too dated for a positive review. Edit: just found out this game came out in 2016. Looks worse than Daggerfall, which came out like 20 years earlier.

Fun game. Very simple, but nothing bothered me, so there's no reason not to recommend it. I only played for an hour though.
This game is a disappointment. While the developers may have put in some effort, the experience feels incredibly outdated—it plays like something from 2016. The gameplay is frustratingly tedious; there is no menu to track the weapons or evidence you have interacted with, forcing you to rely entirely on your own memory, which is a massive oversight. The biggest issue, however, is the unreasonable game design. The sheriffs behave in completely illogical ways, and one minor misclick in a dialogue choice leads to an instant game over (hanging). It isn't a fun experience; it’s just an exercise in frustration. Not recommended.
