The game presents a castle-based investigation in which the player explores rooms, inspects objects, interviews people, and gathers clues related to the killing. The central objective is to determine what happened, who was responsible, and which evidence supports the conclusion.

Progress is structured around discovery and deduction rather than action. New information from one location or conversation can make another lead significant, so careful note-taking and repeated comparison of testimonies are important. The game has no documented combat progression or character-level system.

Record each suspect’s statements and compare them for contradictions. Search every accessible part of the castle before committing to a conclusion, and treat physical evidence and alibis as separate lines of inquiry.

When progress stalls, revisit earlier locations and conversations; a missed clue or overlooked detail can prevent the investigation from moving forward.
