Character FAQ
Can a romance candidate become the killer?
Yes. Steam confirms that some of the 12 potential romance options can be selected as the killer in a playthrough.
What is confirmed
The same person may have a normal relationship route in another campaign. Profiles must not label a romance candidate as the permanent culprit.
Why this matters
Character information is especially spoiler-sensitive because a resident may be an ordinary neighbor, romance option, victim, or killer in different campaigns. Profiles keep stable identity facts separate from campaign outcomes and do not invent gifts or schedules.
What remains outside this answer
Unpublished values, schedules, item names, routes, rewards, campaign identities, and platform behavior are not inferred. This page will add exact steps or tables only after an official update or repeatable test in the retail build provides a concrete answer.
Source and update policy
Current information is checked against the official Steam description. Older announcements and cached storefront data are not allowed to override a newer official status. Corrections retain the same canonical URL so search engines and players reach one maintained answer.
