About the Game

STORY

Fabienne, a 17-year-old genius, has a rare gift: she detects lies! Until now, her talent has only managed to isolate her from her fellow orphans.

But when she discovers the body of one of her teachers, she’s left with no choice but to uncover the killer among the residents she’s lived with her entire life.

An intense investigation ensues, forcing Fabienne to untangle webs of deceit and uncover the dark secrets of her grim home.

Can she expose the culprit before they kill again?

Based on the book "Béret Écarlate et le Meurtre à l'Orphelinat", here is the result of a collaboration between author Lion Natty and independent visual novel developer / artist Gud91.
