Pineford: Part I

Pineford: Part I is a murder mystery set in a provincial town in a Victorian world. After Evie Roots, the town’s favourite aristocrat, is found dead, you investigate how Pineford’s history and the people around her led to the murder.

The town and its secrets

Pineford has survived a plague epidemic, rebellions and intrigues among its ruling families. The town is governed by three great houses, whose members are connected to Evie and to one another. Everyone has secrets, and an investigation clue may take you somewhere unexpected as you piece together the intertwined lives and events.

The investigation

An unknown sender gives the detective a mysterious locket. You work out how the device functions, but its sender may be a friend or an enemy, so understanding its logic is not a reason to trust the cerum. An Investigation Log helps you follow the case.
