About the Game

Sometimes even after leaving a career, the remnants of that vocation maintain a firm grasp on your life. This proves to be hauntingly true for ex-private eye, James Madison. Following a troubled past and an abrupt end to a storied career, Madison finds himself staying with a friend, Ben Noble, and his family on their pig farm. One night, after awakening to a heavy knock on the door, Madison finds everyone on the farm missing. To make matters worse, ominous text messages are being sent from an unknown caller promising a healthy dose of murder before the night is over. While overcoming complex puzzles and staying far away from the hungry wolves that roam the property, help Madison unravel the mystery, find the Nobles, and catch the killer before it is too late.
