Why did I create this project?

In my third year at university, I had a module that consisted of 12 weeks where the end result was to create a project from scratch and document it; this was to prepare us to do out dissertations the next year. I chose to create a murder mystery video game where the player must solve a string of murders at a house party while also completing tasks. Each round, a new person is murdered and the player can talk to the remaining characters; at the end of the round the player must make a guess at who they think the killer is.
For this module, the project had to include aspects from at least 2 of the following disciplines:

• Software Development
• Website Development
• Database Development

I chose to focus on software and database development. The game was already the software and for the database development portion I decided on having an account system. The accounts would store statistics about the player's games. For example, how many times the player has won, how many games they have played, etc.
