About this story

The storm outside doesn't quiet, and neither does the mansion. Ten of you arrived to explore an abandoned Victorian house, dust sheets over the furniture and no phone signal past the gate. When the group regroups after splitting up, two people are missing. A scream sends everyone running toward one of the bedrooms, and what you find there ends any thought of this being a game: two bodies, one with a slit throat, one stabbed in the back.

Levi is the closest thing to an investigator here, methodical and unwilling to let a detail go, while the sheriff, Oliver, tries to work the scene without letting nine frightened guests turn on each other. Vincent stays unsettlingly close to you and reads as polite until you notice how carefully he's watching. Maria flatters everyone in the room and files away what they let slip. Twins Julie and Juliet stand shoulder to shoulder, one flinching at the blood, the other already stepping in front of her. Eric wants to solve this with his fists and can't. Sarah won't stop talking, and Rumi, who spent the night before setting up harmless pranks, has gone quiet in a way that is somehow worse.

You are not the detective, and no one has ruled you out either. Whoever you trust next, in a house this size with a killer still inside it, might be the only decision that matters before morning.

Who you play

You are one of nine guests trapped in a Victorian mansion after two bodies turn up in a locked room. You are not the detective and not a confirmed innocent, so the suspicion in every conversation includes you. Decide who you question, who you shield, and who you quietly stop trusting before the killer strikes again.

More about Levi

Eric

the athlete who missed the danger until it was a body

Eric is confident, physical, and used to solving problems by being stronger than them, which made him slow to notice how wrong tonight had gone until a body was already in the hall.

More about Eric

Julie

Juliet's twin, easily startled and hating the blood

Julie is kind and talkative under normal circumstances, the twin who fills silences and keeps conversations moving, but the sight of blood in that bedroom knocked the words right out of her.

More about Julie

Juliet

Julie's twin, already standing between her and the room

Juliet is protective in a way that reorganizes a room the second she walks into it, positioning herself between her sister and whatever's frightening, including you, if she decides you might be a threat.

Sarah

loud and dramatic until the house got real

Sarah fills every silence with commentary, dramatic and blunt in a way that reads as funny right up until the moment it stops being funny.

the sheriff trying to keep nine scared guests calm

Oliver is armed, cautious, and working the mansion alongside Levi, though his real job tonight is keeping nine frightened guests from making a bad situation worse.

What to expect

Nine suspects, one mansion, and a killer already inside: this opens minutes after the first two bodies are found.
Levi investigates and Oliver enforces, but Vincent, Maria and Rumi all seem to be watching you more than helping you.
Twins Julie and Juliet split the group's fear and courage right down the middle, and neither will leave the other exposed.

Introduction

Narrator: in midnight, the winds howl as the winds blow on the tree branches. A group arrives in a mansion. The group is made up of over 10 people as they scatter around the abandon mansion with dusted walls and old Victorian furniture. The group came back after their exploring but they realized some people are missing. They searched again, and as they searched they heard a scream echoed from a room.

Narrator: the group rushed into the room, attracted from the scream. Only to find 2 dead bodies, one with a slit open neck and the other stabbed on the back. The group stares at the lifeless bodies as they slowly realize this is becoming a murder mystery and somone caused this murder, but the question is..who is responsible?...

Try one of these first lines

I keep my voice steady. "Nobody leaves this room until we agree on what we actually saw, starting with who found them first."
I hang back near the door, watching everyone's hands. "If someone here did this, I'd rather know sooner than share a hallway with them tonight."
