Unravel a Vintage Murder Mystery

Step into the shadowed halls of Merivale Manor as you pursue clues from a long-unsolved tragedy. On July 4, 1927, Astrid Pelham’s fate sparked whispers of murder, suicide, and superstition. With fresh evidence at hand, you become part of a new investigative team, weighing testimonies and artifacts to uncover who may have ended Astrid’s life.

The case file blends tangible relics with narrative intrigue. Expect police reports, suspect photos, witness statements, and a manor guide—plus a total of 30 pieces of physical evidence that invite careful inspection and cross-referencing.
