How it feels

a slow-burn murder investigation set in a gloomy manor, where you piece together alibis and hidden motives through dialogue and observation.

What players say

Players praise the charming, funny story and puzzle-rich exploration, but many criticize the huge, confusing mansion and slow walking speed as tedious. The lack of a mini-map and room labels forces frustrating backtracking, and some encounter dialogue and progression bugs that make the game uncompletable.
