About Stonewall Penitentiary
Stonewall Penitentiary is a 2D, first-person point-and-click murder mystery adventure presented in a graphic novel style. You play as William Thane, a down-on-his-luck painter struggling with depression and alcoholism, who wakes in an abandoned prison with his hands tied and no memory of how he got there. He is trapped with six other people, held captive by a sociopath obsessed with justice, and one of the seven is a killer. You explore the prison, solve puzzles and use your detective skills to discover who it is and whether you can escape.
Explore the prison
The game focuses on exploration and narrative, with rooms to navigate, items to collect and use, characters to meet and interact with, and puzzles to solve. Separate inventory, map, journal and character screens are available at the push of a button. The story includes optional content that tests your detective skills without requiring major pixel hunting, and choices can affect the outcome.
The seven suspects
You play as William, but he is also a suspect. The other six people trapped in the prison each have reasons to raise questions:
- Becca Ronni: a guarded, mistrustful lawyer who woke up somewhere different from the others.
- Gerard Auberon: a hard-to-read loner who says little and seems loyal.
- Grayson Wilford: a take-charge businessman who barks orders.
- Jessie Bartlett: a friendly, inquisitive teenager who speaks her mind.
- Louis Algar: a D-level actor with a sick sense of humor and a huge ego.
- Sonny Peyton: a shy, terrified computer programmer who is resourceful and helpful.
- William Thane: an unemployed painter struggling with alcoholism and depression.
Story and outcomes
The interactive-novel-style story takes over 10 hours and pays tribute to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and horror thrillers such as Scream and Saw. Your actions, or inactions, determine which of the two endings you reach. The game has 27 achievements; unlocking them all reveals a special post-game bonus scene.
Presentation
The prison is shown in graphic novel-style artwork, accompanied by cinematic music. Characters are fully voiced.
