The player's character in Deadline is an unnamed police detective, summoned to a sprawling Connecticut estate to investigate the apparent suicide of wealthy industrialist Marshall Robner.[2]
The suspects, who walk around the estate pursuing their own agendas during your investigation, are:
Leslie Robner, the victim's wife George Robner, the victim's son Mr. McNabb, the gardener Mrs. Rourke, the housekeeper Mr. Baxter, Robner's business partner Ms. Dunbar, Robner's secretary |

Working with a newly hired advertising agency, Infocom created physical items to provide information not included within the digital game itself. These items were:
A police folder in a pouch containing an Inspector's Casebook[2] A plastic bag with 3 white pills found near Marshall Robner's body Notes from police interviews with Leslie and George Robner, Mr. Baxter, Ms. Dunbar, and Mrs. Rourke corpus delicti (summary of findings from the coroner's examination) A letter from Mr. Coates, Marshall Robner's lawyer, to the Chief of police An official memo from G.K. Anderson of the Lakeville, Connecticut police department A lab report on the teacup Robner drank from before his death A photo of the murder scene, complete with white chalk outline
In later "grey-box" editions of Deadline, many of these documents were incorporated into the Casebook, rather than existing as separate papers. |
