About the Game

Five mystery authors have gathered at the Gargoyle Hotel... and one of them has ill intent!  Discover the would-be murderer before the clock strikes midnight in this retro-style puzzle/strategy game; record conversations via your super-high-tech surveillance setup (or simply eavesdrop), search for clues in the suspects rooms, or tease information out of them via targeted interrogation over the phone.  Once you have the suspect, victim, murder weapon, room, and motive, a single phone call is all it takes to unravel their entire nefarious scheme.

Features:

  • 20 mysteries to puzzle out (4 in the demo)

  • Bite-sized play sessions (~36 minutes per case)

  • Humorous characters and dialogue
