10 itemsAbout the Game
Unravel the Darkness that Haunts Sermont
You are Pasha, a devoted monk raised in the faith of the great Seraph, guardian of these lands. Now, at the threshold of completing your sacred training, you are sent to the remote, near-ruined village of Sermont, nestled high in the unforgiving mountains.
What begins as a simple mission to soothe the villagers' religious fears soon turns to horror. Brutal, merciless murders stain the snow with blood. Those you befriend will be lost, and with each passing night, fear and suspicion will begin to storm around you. Will you uncover the truth before Sermont is beyond saving?
A Story-Rich Journey of Deception and Doubt
Each act of the game blends narrative-driven storytelling with intricate murder investigations. Between uncovering dark secrets, you will have time to build bonds with the villagers, choose how to spend your days, and progress through the unfolding fate of Sermont.
Unravel the Truth with Evidence Cards
At each crime scene, you will gather evidence cards, chronicling your findings. By combining clues, you will piece together smaller mysteries, leading you ever closer to the true killer. When the time comes, you must name the murderer and cast them into exile. But will your judgment be just? The fate of the innocent lies in your hands.
