About the game
The players are guests at a dinner party in one of the most respected mansions in the town. All of a sudden, they discover that the owner of the mansion is killed and the players become involved in the investigation of this dreadful murder. An unknown force stops time and takes the souls of all the innocent guests into the Afterlife. They become shadows – foggy and silent. Now, the players should explain to everyone who they are, thus proving their innocence. For this purpose, they use "clues" scattered around to hint at their personality. The players should also identify the murderer as quickly as possible. The quicker and smarter you are, the more chances to win you have! —description from the publisher
