Game Story:
It has been 23 years since Miss Havisham was left at the altar by her
fiancé (Dickens Great Expectations).
Her Manson is now in ruins and her days are spent in a haze of madness. She continues to wear her wedding dress. But something has occurred that has summoned a moment of clarity. A skeleton has been dug up on the property. A mutilated, murdered corpse, that at least for Miss Havisham must be her lost fiancé. Is it possible that after all these years she wasn’t in fact jilted? But who committed this atrocity?
A plan is set forth, as the very guests that were present on her wedding day 23 years ago receive invitations to spend Christmas Eve at the Satis Manor, and within the Christmas merriment a murderer will be uncovered.
Join your favorite Dickens characters from Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, Bleak House, The Old Curiosity Shop and Oliver Twist as the truth is revealed and the bloodiest of murders is revealed (and sing a few dark Christmas carols in the process).
Your quest: Who MURDERED the body in the garden, and why?
