A murder-mystery visual novel about a young man who inherits a charming English hotel. Some would say he’s fortunate, but with a growing list of unexplained disasters and murder, has his luck finally run out?
Immerse yourself in a thrilling murder mystery at the Penby Inn! A luxurious hotel set in the endearing English countryside, Penby Inn is coming under a lot of fire (literally) from mind-boggling mishaps, ghoulish noises, rumours of hauntings and gruesome murder!
To add to the confusion, the rich new owner Samuel Sage, who has conveniently inherited the hotel, is completely clueless about the incendiary incidents, the drama ensuing behind its glamourous doors and the dark secrets it holds!
Will Samuel triumph over the increasingly insurmountable odds, or will he succumb to defeat? Will he shatter under the weight of the heavy burden, or will the sweet refuge of a budding romance see him through the turmoil?
During the course of the game, you will play as Samuel Sage and talk to customers, contractors, and employees of the hotel. You will visit locations in the hotel, examine reports of strange phenomena, collect artefacts, and gather evidence to help unravel the events that have plagued the hotel.



You will also examine computer logs and CCTV footage to gather evidence that can exonerate an innocent person accused of murder and determine the identity of the real criminal and motives behind the crime. To take your mind off the grave and increasingly mysterious incidents, you will indulge in a bit of spirited romance!
The game is a visual novel and comes with convenient features such as a log for re-examining saved evidence and studying artefacts gathered during exploration of the hotel.
