A Hat In Time Who Is The Murderer

Okay, picture this: You're playing A Hat in Time. It's adorable, it's charming, and suddenly... MURDER! GASP! Someone offed the Conductor, and the entire train is a suspect.

Let's get right to it. Who's the culprit? We're going to put on our detective hats (because, you know, A Hat in Time!) and crack this case!

The Obvious Suspects (and Why They Probably Didn't Do It)

The Snatcher

The Snatcher is spooky. The Snatcher is kinda creepy. He lives in a forest filled with souls! Sounds guilty right?

BUT! The Snatcher has a good enough alibi. He benefits nothing from the train's problems.

The Mafia Boss

He's got a big ol' mustache and a bad attitude. Plus, he yells a lot. But Mafia Boss is just... too obvious.

It's like in those detective shows when the first person they suspect is always innocent. Mafia Boss, you're free to go!

The Sneaky Suspects (Now We're Getting Somewhere!)

The Grooves

Hear me out. The Grooves is a bit *too* calm, a bit *too* relaxed. Someone who acts nonchalant after the murder is either a professional killer... or just really good at meditating.

He's always dancing. Is he dancing to hide his guilt?! Could be!

The Owls

Think about it. They're obsessed with time! A Hat in Time is all about time pieces. Maybe the Conductor knew something about time pieces and the Owls needed to silence him!

The owls do seem to be working extra hard to make it someone elses problem.

The Real Killer (Dun Dun DUUUUN!)

Drumroll, please! I am convinced that it was... The Conductor himself! I know it sounds crazy. We just need to think outside the box, people!

Think about this: The Conductor is in charge of the train! He had total access. He could have faked his own death for some insurance money and ran off into the sunset!

He set everyone up to make it look like a murder, but really, he was just pulling the ultimate disappearing act. Genius!

Occam's Razor, people! The simplest explanation is usually the right one. He's not really dead, is he? He is off to another country or planet with all his money and time pieces.

Okay, But Seriously... Who IS the Murderer?

The truth is, the game never *actually* tells you who did it! It's all left up to interpretation. A-HA! So that means *everyone* is a suspect and *no one* is a suspect.

Maybe it was Hat Kid in a shocking twist? (Nah, she's too sweet.) Maybe it was the Mustache Girl, driven mad by her thirst for justice? (Okay, maybe a *little* more plausible.)

The fun of the murder mystery on the express is that you get to decide! So, put on your thinking cap, gather your evidence, and accuse whomever your little heart desires.

After all, in A Hat in Time, anything is possible! Except maybe Hat Kid actually being evil. She's just too darn cute.
