How it feels

A slow, thoughtful puzzle experience set in a stately manor where you uncover clues methodically and interrogate suspects.

What players say

Players are split. Fans of Clue/Cluedo enjoy the detective theme and humor, but others say the game relies too heavily on forced 50/50 guesses, making expert mode frustrating and the mystery elements repetitive after a few runs.
