Any tipps on how to survive as the killer? Asking for a friend

[@thestorytellerscottage]

Figure out which other suspect also has some clues pointing to them and plant lots of seeds of doubt about them to everyone who will listen. Share your theories about who the murderer could be every chance you get, as if you're gossiping or sharing secret information, so you seem like you're building a coalition team of good guys. Practice your poker face, so you can lie convincingly when someone gets too close to the truth. If you can laugh it off, so much the better (like "Yeah, that does make me look guilty, doesn't it? Someone is setting me up! I totally didn't do it.") Your best bet is to lean into any kind of doubt that players have about another suspect. Good luck!
