Rules Update: Red Truth

Anything spoken in red text is guaranteed to be true.
It is impossible to cheat or bypass this rule.
When using the Red Truth, there is no need to supply proof.

The 19th Person

Somebody appeared on the island, calling herself Beatrice.
She was seen by Maria, Rosa, Kyrie, Genji, Kanon and Shannon before locking herself in the VIP room.
After the first twilight, she vanished from her room. Her whereabouts remained unknown until after the game ended.

The First Twilight

The victims were Krauss, Natsuhi, Rudolf, Kyrie, Eva, and Hideyoshi.
The bodies were cut open, but their faces were all untouched.
The bodies were locked in the chapel. The chapel key had been given to Maria the previous day, in a sealed envelope. The envelope was still sealed when the bodies were found.
Regardless of whether they were living or dead, the six people definitely entered through the front door.
Only one key to the chapel exists.
It is impossible to unlock the lock to the chapel without the chapel's key.
When the door to the chapel is locked, it prevents any and all methods of entry or exit.
That morning, Rosa definitely took an envelope out of Maria's handbag, and thereby obtained the genuine key to the chapel.
The key to the chapel truly was the object inside the envelope I gave to Maria.
The envelope handed to Maria and the one Rosa opened are the same thing.

The Second Twilight

The victims were Kanon and Jessica.
Jessica's body was found alone in her room. She had been stabbed in the back by a stake.
The door was locked. Jessica's room key was found on the table. Kanon's master key was found in Jessica's pocket. Nanjo took custody of Kanon's key.
The window was locked from the inside.
The only master keys are the ones held by the servants, one key each.
Kanon was killed in Jessica's room.
When locked, the room's door does not permit any form of entry.
No trick could have the effect of locking the door from the outside without using a key.
There are no hidden doors in this room. There is no way to get in or out other than the door and the windows.
When Jessica's corpse was discovered, only Battler, George, Maria, Rosa, Genji, Gohda, Shannon, Kumasawa and Nanjo were in Jessica's room.
Both in the case of Jessica's room and the case in this servant room, no humans exist that you were not aware of. No one is hiding.
No method exists by which the door can be locked from the outside without using a key. Regarding the window, no method exists by which it could somehow be locked from the outside.

The Seventh and Eighth Twilights

The victims were Kumasawa and Nanjo.
Their throats were cut in the servant room.
When the group came, the door to the servant room was locked. The bodies were missing from inside the room.
Inside the room was a sealed envelope containing two master keys - one from Kumasawa, and one from Kanon, which Nanjo had taken.
The bodies appeared much later, in the courtyard. They had been impaled with stakes.
The servant room keys are kept in the key box in the center of the servant room. All of them are inside the key box.
Entry or exit is impossible except for the single door and single window. Both were locked.
The door and the window do not permit any kind of entry or exit when they are locked.
It is impossible to unlock the door without a key to the servant room or a master key.
No one existed in the room except for Battler, George, Maria, Rosa, Genji, Gohda, and Shannon.
Battler is incompetent.

The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Twilights

The victims were Shannon, George and Gohda.
They were found in Natsuhi's room, locked. Rosa found Natsuhi's key on the table inside the room.
Rosa had all five master keys in her posession.
George and Gohda's bodies had stakes embedded into them. Shannon had a hole in her head.
The door and window were locked from the inside.
There is no secret passage or hidden place.
Natsuhi's key was in George's pocket.
Rosa was holding every master key.

The Final Letter

While the party was investigating Natsuhi's room, the parlor was locked.
When they returned, Battler found an envelope on the table that wasn't there before.
It was another message from Beatrice.
The original key to the parlor was sealed in the servants' room.
Unlocking it without a master key was impossible.
The parlor was a closed room.
Rosa was still holding every master key.

Game Result

Shortly before midnight, Battler surrendered to Beatrice, and the game ended in her victory. There were no survivors.

Questions to Consider

Who was the mysterious guest in the VIP room?
How were each of the closed rooms accomplished?
How many people are on Rokkenjima?
Who is the culprit?
