Game Summary:

A shocking murder shatters the quiet morning of the Ironwood Inn, a secluded bed and breakfast. The innkeeper calls you in to investigate the crime. With only 12 hours before the guests leave, you must crack the Case of the Poisoned Coffee Cup or the Case of the Bloody Candlestick before time runs out.

Play as one of four detectives, each with their own set of interrogation styles that influence the answers you'll get from suspects. Search the inn for hidden clues and earn points as you fill your Detective’s Notebook with valuable information to consider. The deeper you dig, the more secrets you’ll uncover. Everyone’s hiding something, but who should you accuse of murder?

This cozy mystery features an intricate narrative which includes multiple subplots and charming top down 2D pixel art for a truly immersive experience. The game strikes a perfect balance between suspense and relaxation, offering a truly engaging escape.
