It’s a dark and stormy night in the spring of
1926. As Laura Bow, college student and amateur detective, you are
looking forward to spending the night in your roommate Lillian’s old
family mansion. A ferry transports you across a dismal swamp and
deposits you on the grounds of the dreary and run-down Dijon plantation.
There, the rich and eccentric old Colonel Dijon, who feels his end is
coming near, has organized a gathering of friends and relatives. He
announces that, when he dies, his wealth will be divided equally among
those present. Should anybody die before he does, then his share will be
divided among the surviving inheriting people. Shortly later in the
evening the murders begin.Release Date: xx-xx-1989

Designer: Roberta Williams
Who is killing the relatives and associates of the colonel, one by one? Is it the sneaky lawyer, who has a racehorse scam on his conscience and can’t tolerate the colonel’s niece from separating with him? Is it the doctor, who owns a bag with deadly injections and pills? Or did the quiet, yet imposing butler do it? Whoever is responsible, they aren’t likely to take kindly to a would-be private eye snooping around, so you’d better be careful as you discover facts (and falsehoods) about your fellow guests and their relationship to the old man who’s money will be inherited by whoever survives him. Use secret passages to overhear private conversations, look out for suspicious items which may change from location, search for finger prints and other clues to find out the truth behind the killings. Observe, be fast and careful, because you could be the next victim.
