semi OT: as for odd relationships between detective and narrator, there's The Blind Barber, by John Dickson Carr. The detective is not present for any of the activities of the mystery. The murder and robberies are all described by the narrator in flashback.
Also, I looked back to see who appears in the various tea parties:
Episode 1:
Characters ostensibly alive at Oct 5, 11:59 PM: Battler, Maria, Jessica, George
Characters in tea party: Battler, Jessica, Maria, George, Shannon, Kanon, Beatrice
Characters in ????: Beatrice, Bernkastel
(Bern talks to an unidentified person, possibly Battler, possibly the player)
----
Episode 2:
Alive: Battler, Kinzo, Genji, Rosa, Maria
tea party: Rosa (though her sprite is not shown), Beatrice, goat, Maria, Battler
(Krauss, Eva, and Rudolf's sprites are shown, though in flashback BW)
????: Beatrice, Bernkastel, Lambdadelta
(Again, Bern and LD talk to an unidentified person.)
----
Episode 3:
Alive: Jessica, Eva
tea party: Beatrice, Bernkastel, Lambdadelta
????: Eva (though her sprite is shown only as a BW flashback image), Ange, Bernkastel
(Rudolf, Kyrie, and Battler are shown as transparent flashback images.)
----
Episode 4:
Alive: Battler
Tea party: Battler, Beatrice
(Battler isn't shown until after Beatrice uses red text wrt. Kanon's body.)
(Kanon, Maria, Jessica, and Kinzo are shown in flashback BW. Kinzo is also shown transparent.)
????: Bernkastel, Lambdadelta
