Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Otto
Otto
Has taken apart every clock he has ever owned.
Laborer — Builds, mends, grows. Strong hands, few words.
In their own words
“I could fix that light, you know. It flickers.”
“Everything is a machine if you look closely.”
“I've got a screwdriver in every pocket.”
“I could fix that gas lamp. It flickers terribly.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Otto has stood in 36 lineups so far, as a orderly, a engineer, a keeper's assistant, a stagehand, a farmer, a art handler and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 33 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Otto turned out to be a criminal 9 times and innocent 24 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
