Dead Ringer

Dead Ringer is a murder mystery visual novel in which Detective Maxwell Morgan investigates seven deaths and one disappearance at the Eloise estate. A faulty socket and electrical malfunction precede the killings, which appear impossible to explain. Morgan must identify the culprit before dawn, when reporters will arrive and threaten his client Meredith Eloise’s reputation.

The case at Eloise estate

Morgan has testimonies from three survivors: socialite and lobbyist Meredith Eloise, her stoic butler Richard Torres, and the only surviving guest, Alexander Florence. Felix McCain, Meredith’s embittered employee, is missing. The investigation also turns up a strange landline phone that does not belong to any of the partygoers.

You explore the manor and examine the crime scene, weighing the testimonies of the living against information from the dead. Using the Necronomiphone, you bring back the victims’ ghosts and question them for clues. Your discoveries and detective skills shape what happens to Morgan and the survivors.

Choices and endings

Your choices can lead to several different endings, even though there is one truth behind the case. A scene select and the freedom to search the mansion let you explore the different outcomes for Detective Maxwell Morgan.
