STORY SYNOPSIS
Madam Theresa is hosting the annual Ravencrest Ball to raise funds for Shadows of Hope, an organization that creates a safe haven for stray cats and dogs. It will be hosted at the historic Ravencrest Manor in the town of Kassel Grove. The guest list is quite remarkable as a select group of affluent individuals has been invited due to various connections, charitable contributions, or perhaps a mere coincidence.
Everyone is preparing for the high-profile event, hunting down the perfect attire and matching mask for a glamorous night of anonymity and a game of who’s who. Behind the concealment of disguises, guests are free to relax their inhibitions and live a life of debauchery, even if only for this one evening. There is no worry that the press will get ahold of the antics of the evening, as everyone’s identity will be concealed.
Of course, something goes awry and the evening of glitz and glamour quickly turns sinister. A gruesome murder unexpectedly interrupts everyone’s evening of lighthearted fun and now it is up to you to determine whodunnit before it’s too late...
