About the Game

A dark night. A storm. A house full of strangers... And a dead body. 

Grieving the loss of her father, heiress Helena Montague had no idea that inviting several friends to stay with her would lead to a murder. Stranded by a storm in the historic mansion, Chateau de Rouge, the group must work together to discover who among them is a killer...before the murderer strikes again. 

Play as Lady Diana Strawberry, who comes to visit her cousin, Helena, after the sudden death of Helen's father, and Diana's uncle, Lord Montague. In this choice-based, visual novel, spend time with a cast of quirky characters, choose who you will trust and who you will watch closely. Listen to their stories, and decide who among them is a killer. With two different ending possibilities, you might be surprised by what you find. 

Meet the Cast:

Helena Montague: A young heiress, now the rightful recipient of a lavish fortune...yet, strangely gone missing as her guests arrive. 

Lady Diana Strawberry: A beautiful but penniless orphan who is the last living relative of the Montagues. Is she money-hungry, or just searching for a place to belong?

Lord Violette: A nimble young lord who recently bought the neighboring mansion. But why does he keep turning up at Chateau de Rouge. His motives seem cloudy.

Sir Grayson Dorian: A handsome and self-possessed nobleman who is new to the area, but is strangely quiet about his background. What is he hiding?

Madame Esme: A mysterious fortune-teller who has lived on the Montague land for years. Is she truly able to predict the future? Or are her skills more self-serving?

Charlotta White: A maid employed at the manor. She does her job well...maybe too well. What else has she been cleaning up, besides crumbs?

Based on a live-action murder mystery party, this visual novel brings the fun and beauty of a home-mystery-party directly to you--with all the questioning and choices of a live party!
