Our take on A Detective's Novel
The case is confined to a remote estate, where the people present form the pool of suspects and the investigation turns on examining clues and questioning them.
What is A Detective's Novel?
A mystery visual novel follows detectives Knox and Clark to a remote mountain estate after businessman William Goldberg dies under suspicious circumstances.
Those present at the mansion, including family members, a business associate, a widow, and a longtime butler, become suspects.
