Yes

Right now, clues are always true, but the murderer will omit saying something very incriminating. But since the website is a prototype, this will most likely change in the near future (e.g. murders can lie, but the other suspects will always tell the truth).
> I dunno. The clues are really confusing without understanding the meta-rules behind them, which don't seem to be written down.
I think you are right, the website needs better (and more) explanation, as well as an expanded tutorial.
(I still think it's really, really cool, by the way; please don't get discouraged by the criticism. With some UX / intuitability improvements it'll be awesome.)
