YOU are the detective in this interactive crime novel, where YOU must investigate a murder and YOUR choices will determine whether you solve the crime...

A village of dark secrets.
A young woman is found dead inside an ancient stone circle at the heart of a remote forest. She’s a rock singer, who was filming a music video. Now her bandmates are suspects, along with the eccentric locals.

Every suspect has an alibi.
There’s just one problem: they all have water-tight alibis, and many villagers believe the singer was actually killed by the ‘Stone Warden’ – a figure from local folklore who haunts the forest.

Who killed her? What do the strange symbols on the stones mean? What dark secrets are the villagers hiding? And can you find the killer before they strike again?

No one is telling the truth.
Decide who to interview, decode the symbols, and uncover what the villagers are hiding behind closed doors. Will your choices uncover the killer – or will they be your downfall?

Only YOU can decide…
