This a cooperative detective story! From the beginning of the game you get all information (newspaper, interviews, links to websites etc.) and then you have to solve the case! Quarterly, Agneta Hellwig invites to an opulent dinner at home. 7 selected guests are looking forward to a glamorous performance in front of an impressive backdrop. Theme of the evening: 'Cleopatra's last aria'. But the closed society has to watch in horror as the hostess collapses at her own event. In the hospital, it quickly becomes clear: Agneta has been poisoned and barely escaped with her life. But who wanted to poison the lovely old lady in her own home and why?
