Honestly, you were making it sound like this would be way worse than how it actually turned out. It looks great, even for your first time* great job Viv :)
Honestly, more like single-player D&D. I added all the participants into a simulation site that randomly generated results for who kills who and all that, and then took those results and wrote a narrative around them since the simulator just does a *really* basic "X was found dead, everyone randomly voted, they picked Y, they were correct, Y was executed" thing.
