The rain lashes violently against the manor windows while thunder rolls across the mountains surrounding Blackthorne Manor. Somewhere deep within the estate, an old grandfather clock chimes midnight.

Six residents arrived here under mysterious circumstances. Seven if you are included

The six residents and you were told they could not leave until “the matter” was resolved.

And now—

One of them is dead.

The phones no longer work. The gates outside are sealed shut. The storm has destroyed the only road leading down the mountain.

Whoever killed them is still inside the manor.

And everyone has secrets worth hiding. Choose one to start the story (Disclaimer, the one you choose will be the first one to be killed by the killer) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[1] Elias Calm, intelligent, and dangerously self-sacrificial.

Elias naturally takes control during crises, often placing himself between others and danger without hesitation. People trust him easily, though his habit of hiding emotions makes it difficult to know what he is truly thinking.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[2] Mira Cold, observant, and almost impossible to read.

Mira notices details others miss. Every expression, every lie, every inconsistency. Many find her intimidating, but beneath her detached exterior lies someone terrified of emotional vulnerability.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[3] Kael Charismatic, reckless, and constantly provoking trouble.

Kael hides intelligence behind humor and arrogance. He treats dangerous situations like games until things become genuinely personal. Beneath the confidence is someone deeply afraid of losing people.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[4] Nora Warm-hearted, emotional, and stubbornly kind.

Nora believes people can still be saved even in terrible situations. She often becomes the emotional center of the group, though her empathy sometimes blinds her to danger.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[5] Sylve Elegant, manipulative, and always watching.

Sylve understands people frighteningly well and rarely speaks without purpose. Nobody fully trusts him—and perhaps they are right not to.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[6] Dorian Bitter, isolated, and quietly unstable.

Dorian keeps everyone at arm’s length, convinced that trust only leads to betrayal. Yet beneath the anger is someone desperately trying not to fall apart completely.
