The Deed: Dynasty

The Deed: Dynasty is a standalone expansion with three murder scenarios set in different eras. In each, you control a character who commits a murder, plants evidence and tries to frame another character so the authorities will not suspect you.

Three historical settings

The scenarios explore the Bruce family's ancestry across three periods: a 15th-century English castle during the reign of Henry IV, a violent Old West frontier town and Dunshiel House in the Victorian era, fifty years before the events of The Deed. The settings include a frontier saloon and a grand old estate.

Choices and characters

Your decisions affect the outcome, leading to many possible endings, with more variety and endings than in the original game. Each scenario features non-player characters, some based on real historical figures, and almost all can be framed. The expanded conversation system gives you more control and offers branching options that can lead to a different experience each time.

Commit and conceal the murder

You can use multiple methods to commit each murder, choosing from weapons suited to the era, such as a medieval greatsword, household scissors or a six-shooter. You must consider which method might implicate someone else, then choose and plant evidence to raise the authorities' suspicions of that character. The evidence can be used in multiple ways, depending on where you plant it.

Face the authorities

If convicted, your character may face prison, the headsman's block or hanging at the gallows. Your aim is to carry out the murder and avoid that fate.
