About the game
What you do in a play session
The game is divided into three standalone cases, meaning you can play each one on different nights without worrying about forgetting the details. Each case lasts about 90 minutes and offers a completely different vibe. First, we have 'Blood, Ink, and Tears', a treat for Agatha Christie fans: an old mansion in Great Britain, family secrets, and a mysterious death. Then, things heat up in 'Solid Alibi', where the action takes place in an Italian district dominated by gangs, filled with tension, betrayals, and the fundamental question: who can you actually trust?
To wrap up the season, 'Natural Causes' takes us to the United States, specifically to a university campus. The death of a professor in his biology lab seems natural at first glance, but as every good detective knows, appearances are deceiving. Was it really natural causes, or is there someone with a very dark motive behind it all?
Get your notepad and logical reasoning ready, as you'll need to connect clues and analyze evidence to close the cases. It's a cooperative experience where communication is key. If you love the feeling of actually solving a crime as the story unfolds, this game is the right choice. Just remember that, since it's a narrative-driven game, reading and text interpretation are your primary tools of the trade!
