About the Game

When Marcella is asked to write a story about the Rosebrook Community Theater for the newspaper, she is drawn into another mystery surrounding a cursed black cat statue. Bad things have been happening one after another to the theater's director ever since the statue arrived at the theater. Discover the source of these strange events before the curse wears off on you, too.

This game is set in Marcella's hometown of Rosebrook, Oregon. It is the third release in the Marcella Moon mystery series, and it acts as a series prequel. This will also be the first game in the series to be voice acted.
