What is the name of this trope?

Asked by Haleth (18947points) August 22nd, 2011

It’s a mystery told from multiple points of view where everybody is an unreliable narrator, so it’s impossible to know exactly what happened. I think the name of the original one starts with R and is a Japanese word, but don’t quote me on that. I’ve also seen an episode of The Simpsons and an episode of Star Trek TNG that used this format. Help?
