About The Millhaven Murders
ENTER THE TOWN OF MILLHAVEN - 1887
While her parents are away at the local Farm Expo, Pearl Lundgren takes her last breath. Two men are quickly arrested for her murder, but is that the whole story?
A hand drawn deduction mystery where the case is closed... and completely wrong.
INVESTIGATE EVERY CORNER
Search the Lundgren farm and beyond. Examine hotspots, read letters and newspapers, and question the family and townspeople. Every clue you uncover becomes a word for your deductions.
PIECE TOGETHER THE TRUTH
On the deduction board you can turn your suspicions into certainty: fill in each deduction with people, evidence, and words you've discovered. Nothing is laid out plainly in this mystery. The lies and betrayals that lead to Pearl's death are just the beginning when you are able to notice things that no one else can.
