'A really unique game which gives you a real sense of deduction!' (nicholas derecourt)

Description: 

This original game is based on classical english detective rules. Everyday someone dies and you need to figure out who is the killer. Everybody has a common mystery story of the past. Everybody could have a motive to do this. And you have only seven days to stop the murderer.

Speak with characters, investigate crime scenes, guess who lies, look at your dreams to find clues and try to arrest the killer before it’s too late. 

— A new murder every day 
— Several original mini-games 
— Old mystery background story 
— Original gameplay for those who like to think.
