What players say
Short and sweet, scratched the Return of the Obra Dinn itch well enough for me, would love to see more games in the same genre. I only wish it was longer.

This is a 3-hr or so mystery that lets you unravel the events at a manor during a wedding. It may seem unassuming, but it really pulls you in with the story and reveals just enough to let you figure it out on your own. A very spooky tale and helps boost your confidence in deduction ones you figure it out! It also had a little twist ending that shocked me in the best way. I want to play more games like this. 4.5/5...
I enjoyed this game. When I first started I was confused as how to piece the clues together and I kept missing the kitchen. Eventually after exploring for a bit I was able to slowly figure out who was who. Though one of the characters yells "Brother, why?!" and I think it was actually supposed to be her uncle.
