Boodunnit?! is an adventure-sandbox game where you play as a ghost that has to solve the mystery of her own murder!
Now in the form of a ghost, her naturally curious character compels her to figure out how she died. Besides, if she doesn’t, she won’t be able to move on to the afterlife.
Together with her sister Emmie, the two Lawson sisters must work together to solve the mystery from both sides of life, and learn to let each other go along the way.
Using these powers, you play as Boolia as she explores, interrogates, and investigates around Boonkle!
