Arran Bruce returns to Dunshiel House after learning his father plans to leave the family inheritance to Arran’s sister. He intends to kill her and avoid being held responsible.
Explore the house, speak with family members and servants, and examine objects for a murder weapon and evidence. Your choices and conversations can affect who attracts suspicion.
After the murder, plant evidence to implicate someone else, then face the Inspector’s questions. Your actions and answers shape the investigation and lead to different endings.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its unusual reversal of the murder-mystery role: you plan the crime and try to make someone else look responsible. Reviewers also praise experimenting with different weapons, evidence, conversations, and endings, as well as the compact, dark atmosphere. Some find the brief runs and repeated trial-and-error less engaging after the first playthrough.
