Ashford Manor, England. Lord Ashford is dead — or so they say. You arrive as a guest and find yourself caught between a web of secrets, a forged will, a conspiracy, and nine residents who each have something to hide. Your choices shape the investigation, your relationships, and the truth you uncover. A dark mystery visual novel with full NPC relationship systems, skill progression, daily tasks, and multiple endings. Adult content is optional and unlocks naturally through gameplay.
