The problem is that, while I'm able to occasionally enjoy the mystery genre, my brain kind of refuses to work along those lines as a creator... Or I don't know, I guess you could also say, my brain doesn't find them innately attractive, so I never get inspiration for a mystery.
I think I just have a fascination with murder mystery because my Grandma who I live with watches a lot of murder mystery and crime shows, so it interests me. Could I write a murder mystery, no, I'm not very creative when it comes to writing. Non-fiction writing I can do, fiction I can't.

I like your idea of how every character but one speaks English while the other speaks only German, it'd make for an interesting game.
