"Can you piece together the clues, apply a little logic, and solve the mystery?"

A companion piece to the author's book A Gentleman's Murder.

Editorial Reviews

Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling
"Instead, the game feels a bit like an early Lord Peter short, offering fifteen minutes’ worth of deduction in a cozy 1920s setting. The environment is implemented fairly lightly to avoid red herrings, but includes several entertaining surprises."--Emily Short

Charming Deduction , July 4, 2016
by Joey Jones (UK)

Smoothly implemented closed house crime story. You assemble all the clues, then work out the alibis. The artificiality of the setup is made up for by the neatness of the solution and pleasingly bizarre but self consistent plot. The format lends itself to serialisation.

The in-game chalkboard system is good at collating all the clues for you, but a having a paper and pen handy is recommended for putting it all together.
