It’s a Murder Mystery Masquerade Party!

Dust off your finest attire, don your most intriguing mask, and prepare to uncover secrets, make alliances, and perhaps even unmask a murderer. Someone wants you there, and it’s up to you to figure out why. Will you rise to the occasion and solve the mystery?

Bloodworth Falls is an isolated town riddled with scandal, blackmail, and deceit. The townsfolk bicker in the streets, and many believe the local government is corrupt. Nevertheless, the mayor is hosting a mysterious masquerade ball in the eerie Bloodwood Castle, and the tickets to the event have sold out in record time. The townspeople are curious to find out why the mayor would do something positive in this gloomy town, and everyone is eagerly hunting for the perfect mask.

You are worried about what will happen on this night when toxic people gather at the castle. Strangely enough, you didn’t purchase your ticket—it was placed in your mailbox in an unmarked envelope. Someone wants you there, but you need to figure out why. This is where your story begins.
