In the puzzle game Storyteller, Chapter 13 presents players with complex narrative challenges under the Drama section. One of the trickier objectives is titled Salome: Hatey Is Murdered By His Daughter. Understanding how characters interact through romance, betrayal, and revenge is essential to solving this puzzle cleanly.
Understanding the Core Characters and Motives
To fulfill the conditions of this scenario, players must manipulate relationships between Hatey, his daughter Peachy, and Tiny. The objective requires setting up a chain reaction where Hatey acts out of protection, which ultimately leads to his tragic end. Careful placement of panels ensures that each character reacts logically to the surrounding events.
Setting Up the Initial Romance and Betrayal
Begin by establishing a relationship between Peachy and Tiny in the initial panels. Next, introduce a panel where Tiny betrays that trust by pairing with another character, such as Greenie. When Hatey witnesses this infidelity, his protective instincts kick in to defend his daughter's honor.
Executing the Fatal Misunderstanding
Upon discovering the betrayal, Hatey confronts Tiny and pushes him off a cliff to protect Peachy. Peachy, unaware of Tiny's secret affair, grieves the loss of her lover deeply. Through a seance, Tiny's ghost reveals that Hatey was responsible for his death, driving Peachy to seek vengeance.
Completing the Tale of Misguided Revenge
In the final panel, Peachy kills her father Hatey to avenge Tiny, unaware that Hatey was merely trying to shield her. This satisfies both the main requirement and the alternate ending condition where he was just protecting her. Following this sequential logic allows players to easily clear this dramatic chapter requirement.
