Our take on New York Mysteries: High Voltage Collector's Edition

The store page gives the murder premise, historical setting, and lightning mystery considerable attention, but says little about how the investigation is structured. The result is a clear story setup without much information about the play experience itself.

What is New York Mysteries: High Voltage Collector's Edition?

Investigate a series of unexplained murders in 1950s New York as journalist Laura.

Each crime scene leaves behind only a pile of ash, while witnesses report seeing a ball of lightning. The killings may be connected to a strange incident during an execution at Sing Sing penitentiary. With the police unable to answer the case's questions, the White Stone Order takes control of the investigation. Laura is brought in to examine the murders, follow the mystery surrounding the lightning, and visit locations across the city. The story focuses on identifying the person behind the cryptic killings and determining whether a human being could produce such a phenomenon.
