The Locked Room Murder Game
I didn't kill because there was someone I wanted to kill, I killed because there was a trick I wanted to try.

Review
Five anonymous people gather on the internet to play a murder mystery game.
Each person takes a turn as the culprit and presents a murder case as a problem, while the others solve it.
But the murder case problem is not a fictional problem, but an actual murder case committed by the person playing the role of the culprit.
This concept is interesting, but there were some forced parts that reduced immersion.
The situation of not getting caught despite the tricks not being that great, and characters who are good at devising tricks for their own murders but become stupid when inferring others' cases.
Perhaps because I watched it with too much expectation, the disappointment was quite large.
