Ten guests are trapped for seven days in an isolated hilltop villa, cut off from the outside world. After a suspicious death, secrets and strained relationships make every guest a possible suspect.
You play Folmes, a little-known novelist writing under a pseudonym and an enthusiastic Sherlock Holmes fan. The story unfolds through text and dialogue as you learn about the guests and investigate the villa’s mysteries.
Read clues and documents, consider the characters’ motives, and make choices that shape the story’s direction. Personal storylines and multiple endings offer different discoveries across routes.
Some reviewers enjoyed the detective story and highlighted its branching choices, character writing, and atmospheric villa setting. Other reviews criticize the plot or endings, while many focus on being unable to launch the game after it was removed from Steam and on its internet requirement.
