About the Game

When a popular illustrator is found dead, disgraced demonologist Harold Ludicael is hired to summon her ghost. Ghosts are the one thing he can't summon, but with sharp insight, perhaps he can solve the mystery, and resurrect the most important thing:

His career.



We hope you enjoy our fantasy tale with creeping monsters, summoning magic, and a cast of rich, colorful characters. It has:

  • 20,000 words/about 3 hours of playtime
  • Point and Click Investigation
  • Traditionally painted watercolor characters and locations
  • A journal which keeps track of a colorful list of suspects and lore
  • A variable set of bad endings, and one true ending, depending on which suspect you choose!

Meet the cast:
