About This Game

ENTER THE TOWN OF MILLHAVEN - 1887

While her parents are away at the local Farm Expo, Pearl Lundgren takes her last breath.  Two men are quickly arrested for her murder, but is that the whole story?  

A hand drawn deduction mystery where the case is closed... and completely wrong.

INVESTIGATE EVERY CORNER

Search the Lundgren farm and beyond.  Examine hotspots, read letters and newspapers, and question the family and townspeople.  Every clue you uncover becomes a word for your deductions.

PIECE TOGETHER THE TRUTH

On the deduction board you can turn your suspicions into certainty: fill in each deduction with people, evidence, and words you've discovered. Nothing is laid out plainly in this mystery. The lies and betrayals that lead to Pearl's death are just the beginning when you are able to notice things that no one else can.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game is a murder-mystery investigation. The teenage victim's body appears in a static, hand-drawn illustration with a small amount of blood visible on the head. There are small amounts of blood on a murder weapon and a fence latch. There is no actual depiction of violence, only the aftermath. No gore. There are written descriptions of the crime in dialogue and documents. Criminal acts are portrayed as wrong and are never glamorized or rewarded. The dialogue contains a single use of profanity.
