About This Game

Ace has told this story a hundred and nineteen times. Tonight, he's telling it to you.

It starts on an ordinary school morning and ends in a courtroom. In between: a mother who doesn't come home, classmates who start disappearing one by one, police who think the answer is sitting right in front of them, and a neighbor nobody can quite explain.

Every choice counts

A hidden morality score follows every decision you make. Protect someone or frame them. Tell the truth in the interrogation room or tell them what they want to hear. Choose who you spend the festival with, and live with who doesn't come back.

Search, solve, survive

Investigate rooms by clicking what catches your eye. Ciphers, padlocks, a lockpick, a mirror, a timeline to rebuild. The puzzles never give the answer away. Keep trying until you work it out.
