If you unraveled Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol to the very end...
It is time to pick up your pen.
Your job is to write the death certificate.
England, 1959
A series of unexplained deaths has occurred at Fleming Manor, a country estate outside London.
As the investigator assigned to the cases, you will examine each scene, study the condition of the body, question the people involved, and review the available evidence. You must identify the victim, determine the cause of death, and decide whether the death was accidental, self-inflicted, or the result of murder.
When you believe you understand what happened, record your conclusions in a death certificate or emergency report. Choosing a suspect is not enough. Missing or incorrect information may lead to the wrong conclusion.
Investigation at Fleming Manor
Death at Fleming Manor is a forensic mystery adventure built around observation, deduction, and official documentation.
The game takes place in a British country manor in the late 1950s. Its hand-drawn visual style is inspired by European crime and mystery comics of the 1960s, while the soundtrack draws from classic detective dramas.
If you enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries, methodical investigations, and story-driven games where small details matter, Death at Fleming Manor may be for you.
